- ItemA conjoint analysis framework for evaluating user preferences in machine translation(2014) Kirchhoff, K.; Capurro, Daniel; Turner, A. M.Despite much research on machine translation (MT) evaluation, there is surprisingly little work that directly measures users' intuitive or emotional preferences regarding different types of MT errors. However, the elicitation and modeling of user preferences is an important prerequisite for research on user adaptation and customization of MT engines. In this paper we explore the use of conjoint analysis as a formal quantitative framework to assess users' relative preferences for different types of translation errors. We apply our approach to the analysis of MT output from translating public health documents from English into Spanish. Our results indicate that word order errors are clearly the most dispreferred error type, followed by word sense, morphological, and function word errors. The conjoint analysis-based model is able to predict user preferences more accurately than a baseline model that chooses the translation with the fewest errors overall. Additionally we analyze the effect of using a crowd-sourced respondent population versus a sample of domain experts and observe that main preference effects are remarkably stable across the two samples

- ItemAnalysis of Emergency Room Episodes Duration Through Process Mining(2019) Rojas, Eric; Cifuentes Soto, Andrés Alonso; Burattin, A.; Muñoz Gama, Jorge; Sepúlveda, Marcos; Capurro, DanielThis study presents the proposal of a performance analysis method for ER Processes through Process Mining. This method helps to determine which activities, sub-processes, interactions and characteristics of episodes explain why the process has long episode duration, besides providing decision makers with additional information that will help to decrease waiting times, reduce patient congestion and increment quality of provided care. By applying the exposed method to a case study, it was discovered that when a loop is formed between the Examination and Treatment sub-processes, the episode duration lengthens. Moreover, the relationship between case severity and the number of repetitions of the Examination-Treatment loop was also studied. As the case severity increases, the number of repetitions increases as well.
- ItemAnalyzing medical emergency processes with process mining: the stroke case(2019) Fernandez-Llatas, Carlos; Ibanez-Sanchez, Gema; Celda, Angeles; Mandingorra, Jesus; Aparici-Tortajada, Lucia; Martinez-Millana, Antonio; Munoz-Gama, Jorge; Sepúlveda, Marcos; Rojas, Eric; Gálvez, Víctor; Capurro, Daniel; Traver, VicenteMedical emergencies are one of the most critical processes that occurs in a hospital. The creation of adequate and timely triage protocols, can make the difference between the life and death of the patient. One of the most critical emergency care protocols is the stroke case. This disease demands an accurate and quick diagnosis for ensuring an immediate treatment in order to limit or even, avoid, the undesired cognitive decline. The aim of this paper is perform an analysis of how Process Mining techniques can support health professionals in the interactive analysis of emergency processes considering critical timing of Stroke, using a Question Driven methodology. To demonstrate the possibilities of Process Mining in the characterization of the emergency process, we have used a real log with 9046 emergency episodes from 2145 stroke patients that occurred from January of 2010 to June of 2017. Our results demonstrate how Process Mining technology can highlight the differences of the stroke patient flow in emergency, supporting professionals in the better understanding and improvement of quality of care.

- ItemBiomedical informatics(SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2011) Capurro, Daniel; Soto, Mauricio; Vivent, Macarena; Lopetegui, Marcelo; Herskovic, Jorge R.Biomedical Informatics is a new discipline that arose from the need to incorporate information technologies to the generation, storage, distribution and analysis of information in the domain of biomedical sciences. This discipline comprises basic biomedical informatics, and public health informatics. The development of the discipline in Chile has been modest and most projects have originated from the interest of individual people or institutions, without a systematic and coordinated national development. Considering the unique features of health care system of our country, research in the area of biomedical informatics is becoming an imperative. (Rev Med Chile 2011; 139: 1611-1616).

- ItemDevelopment of mobile technologies for the prevention of cervical cancer in Santiago, Chile study protocol : a randomized controlled trial(2017) Martínez Gutiérrez, Javiera; Soto Subiabre, Mauricio Andrés; Capurro, Daniel; Puschel Illanes, Klaus; Momany, McKenzie C.; Ciampi, Francis; Thompson, BetiAbstract Background In Chile, more than 500 women die every year from cervical cancer, and a majority of Chilean women are not up-to-date with their Papanicolau (Pap) test. Mobile health has great potential in many health areas, particularly in health promotion and prevention. There are no randomized controlled trials in Latin America assessing its use in cervical cancer screening. The ‘Development of Mobile Technologies for the Prevention of Cervical Cancer in Santiago, Chile’ study aims to determine the efficacy of a text-message intervention on Pap test adherence among Chilean women in the metropolitan region of Santiago. Methods/design This study is a parallel randomized-controlled trial of 400 Chilean women aged 25–64 who are non-adherent with current recommendations for Pap test screening. Participants will be randomly assigned to (1) a control arm (usual care) or (2) an intervention arm, where text and voice messages containing information and encouragement to undergo screening will be sent to the women. The primary endpoint is completion of a Pap test within 6 months of baseline assessment, as determined by medical record review at community-based clinics. Medical record reviewers will be blinded to randomization arms. The secondary endpoint is an evaluation of the implementation and usability of the text message intervention as a strategy to improve screening adherence. Discussion This intervention using mobile technology intends to raise cervical cancer screening adherence and compliance among a Chilean population of low and middle-low socioeconomic status. If successful, this strategy may reduce the incidence of cervical cancer. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov NCT02376023 Registered 2/17/2015.

- ItemEpistemonikos: a comprehensive database of systematic reviews for health decision-making(2020) Rada G., Gabriel; Bravo Soto, Gonzalo A.; Bravo Jeria, Rocío; Capurro, Daniel; Morel Marambio, Macarena; Neumann Burotto, Gonzalo Ignacio; Ortiz Muñoz, Luis; Peña Durán, José Esteban; Rivera Mercado, Solange; Soto Subiabre, Mauricio AndrésAbstract Background Systematic reviews allow health decisions to be informed by the best available research evidence. However, their number is proliferating quickly, and many skills are required to identify all the relevant reviews for a specific question. Methods and findings We screen 10 bibliographic databases on a daily or weekly basis, to identify systematic reviews relevant for health decision-making. Using a machine-based approach developed for this project we select reviews, which are then validated by a network of more than 1000 collaborators. After screening over 1,400,000 records we have identified more than 300,000 systematic reviews, which are now stored in a single place and accessible through an easy-to-use search engine. This makes Epistemonikos the largest database of its kind. Conclusions Using a systematic approach, recruiting a broad network of collaborators and implementing automated methods, we developed a one-stop shop for systematic reviews relevant for health decision making.

- ItemProcess mining in healthcare: A literature review(2016) Rojas, Eric; Muñoz Gama, Jorge; |Sepúlveda, Marcos; Capurro, DanielProcess Mining focuses on extracting knowledge from data generated and stored in corporate information systems in order to analyze executed processes. In the healthcare domain, process mining has been used in different case studies, with promising results. Accordingly, we have conducted a literature review of the usage of process mining in healthcare. The scope of this review covers 74 papers with associated case studies, all of which were analyzed according to eleven main aspects, including: process and data types; frequently posed questions; process mining techniques, perspectives and tools; methodologies; implementation and analysis strategies; geographical analysis; and medical fields. The most commonly used categories and emerging topics have been identified, as well as future trends, such as enhancing Hospital Information Systems to become process-aware. This review can: (i) provide a useful overview of the current work being undertaken in this field; (ii) help researchers to choose process mining algorithms, techniques, tools, methodologies and approaches for their own applications; and (iii) highlight the use of process mining to improve healthcare processes.
