The influence of organisational factors on the quality hospital coding using International Statistical Classification Diseases and Health Related Problems, 10 th Revision, Australian Modification (ICD-10-AM) was investigated a mixed quantitative-qualitative approach. variables studied were: specialty; geographical locality; structural characteristics unit; education, training resource supports for Clinical Coders; control mechanisms. Baseline data hospitals' quality, measured by Performance...
Background The geographical variation in treatment patterns for patients with ovarian cancer is profound, long-standing and worrying. Although these variations were highlighted a recent UK registry audit, granular data to provide explanations have been lacking. Methods A consortium of six centres was generated curate submit all treated at their centre 2-year period. Descriptive statistics combined Cox regression Kaplan-Meier analysis confirm the findings from national audit identify possible...
Cancer stage is important to capture within population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) facilitate recruitment clinical trials, evaluate prevention programs, assess treatment impact, and forecast service needs. However, of at diagnosis in many PBCRs low, stemming from missing data registrations health services. This study aims identify the barriers facilitators faced by Health Information Managers (HIM)/Clinical Coders (CC) key multidisciplinary team meeting (MDM) personnel when capturing...

<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> The geographical heterogeneity seen in treatment patterns for patients with advanced ovarian cancer is profound, long standing, worrying, and impacts upon survival. A tool that could demonstrate the impact of a patient's on their predicted survival needed to counsel about options reduce variance. We used detailed clinical datasets develop model predicting dependent patients. <h3>Methodology</h3> Data were collected using data dictionary all cases presenting...

The landscape of centralized cloud computing is now changing to distributed and decentralized clouds with promising impacts on energy consumption, resource availability, resilience, customer experience. This research highlights the emerging IT trends, namely, 5G wireless technology, blockchain, industrial Artificial Intelligence (AI) in development realization next generation computing. Integration these technologies cyber-physical system manufacturing paradigms explained a unified...
Objective The role of surgery for patients with advanced ovarian cancer is well established but wide variations in the percentage undergoing exist. Design Observational Study Setting 19 alliances England, UK Methods We undertook a comparative analysis to examine effects rates on one and five year disease specific survival across English Cancer Alliances. also propensity score single cohort compare who did, did not, undergo as part their primary management. Main outcome measures Correlations...
Background Patients presenting with advanced ovarian cancer can be managed in a variety of ways. No clear selection algorithms exist to guide decision-making and there is significant geographical variation practice. Decision-making takes place specialist multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTs). We wanted examine whether format behaviour within these could explain the treatment patterns seen England Methods Observational study five centre MDTs over six-week period. Data were recorded for...
