This thesis research entails prepatory work in anticipation of project funding of the POMP research proposal. Here's the abstract: The Prescribing Optimisation Method
Platform (POMP) outlines our vision to further contribute to more
efficient and effective geriatric care through integration of
state-of-the-art information and communication technology (ICT). We
define efficiency in terms of timeliness, effort, and financial costs,
whereas effectiveness indicates the prevention of drug-related problems. The
current proposal extends and builds upon the Prescribing Optimisation
Method (POM) which assists physicians, especially general practitioners
(GPs), in optimising polypharmacy in elderly patients, and has been
proven to significantly increase geriatric care quality.
The main goal of the POMP project is to develop, validate and deploy a knowledge sharing and discovery platform for geriatric care through a self-learning and collaborative implementation of the POM. The objective is operationalised by partitioning the work into four types of activities: implementation, integration, optimisation and validation. KEYWORDS: polypharmacy, geriatrics, prototyping, data mining, information systems The precise perspective for your MSc thesis is open for discussion. Possibities include:
