Item A practical method for predicting frequent use of emergency department care using routinely available electronic registration data.(BMC, 2016) Wu, Jianmin; Grannis, Shaun J.; Xu, Huiping; Finnell, John T.; Department of Biostatistics, Fairbanks School of Public HealthAccurately predicting future frequent emergency department (ED) utilization can support a case management approach and ultimately reduce health care costs. This study assesses the feasibility of using routinely collected registration data to predict future frequent ED visits.Item Using Information Entropy to Monitor Chief Complaint Characteristics and Quality(2013) Grannis, Shaun J; Dixon, Brian E.; Xia, Yuni; Wu, JianminAs we enter the 'big medical data' era, a new core competency is to continuously monitor quality of data collected from electronic sources, including population surveillance data sources. We describe how entropy, a fundamental information measure, can help monitor the characteristics of chief complaints in an operational surveillance system.
