Data mining in healthcare informatics: Techniques and applications

The evolution of modern approach in knowledge systems, decision support systems and clinical constraints estimation algorithms that formulate machine learning, soft computing and data mining in presenting a new outlook for health informatics domain. Health is then clearly understood as the essential part while describing a person's sense of well-being. The delivery of health care services therefore considers as higher proportion, and played an efficient role in information and communication technologies for its effective distribution mechanism. Data mining in health informatics are developing into optimistic area for producing vision from diverse data set. Data mining techniques are proved to be as a valuable resource for health care informatics. The main scope of writing this paper is to analyse the effectiveness of data mining techniques in health informatics and compare various techniques, approaches or methods and different tools used and its effect on the healthcare industry. The main motive of using data mining application in healthcare systems is to exploit a machine driven tool for identifying and circulating useful and relevant healthcare information.
