TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Exploring hidden in-hospital fall clusters from incident reports using text analytics JO - Studies in health technology and informatics A1 - Liu, Jiaxing A1 - Wong, Zoie Shui-Yee A1 - Tsui, Kwok-Leung A1 - So, Hing-Yu A1 - Kwok, Angela SP - 1526 EP - 1527 VL - 264 IS - N2 - Retrospective analysing of fall incident reports can uncover hidden information, identify potential risk factors, and improve healthcare quality. This study explores potential fall incident clusters using word embeddings and hierarchical clustering. Fall incident reports from 7 local hospitals in Hong Kong were catalogued into 5 potential clusters with significantly different fall severity, gender, reporting department, and keywords. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using text clustering methods on real-world fall incident reports mining.
