They pay much attention to medical treatment safety, instructions from physicians, and the overall service quality performed by the hospital. To manage a hospital successfully, the important goals are to attract and then retain as many patients as possible by meeting potential demands of various kinds of the patients. In this context, the decision making process is important in order to achieve a strategic decision and strategy. When the decision making problem occurs there is usually a limited number of possible alternatives but a large number of criteria according to which the optimal solution is selected. It is important to use an appropriate approach. This study presents a hybrid methodological approach based on the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method and analytic hierarchy process method to define the best allied hospital for an integrated network of outpatient service. The goal of this paper is to present a methodological approach and a practical application of hybrid method in a real case study.","PeriodicalId":193362,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Medical Eng.

The rationalisation of available resources for health expenses requires that the health policies are, at all levels, aware of the clinical, economic and organisational implications concerning the adoption of healthcare programs (i.e., medical devices, drug therapies, procedures and services within the health facilities). This kind of evaluation implies an interdisciplinary approach because it involves many fields and includes critical assessment and measurement of the actual improvement of the quality of life of patients. The analytic hierarchy process, one of the most useful multi-criteria decision method, may allow the clinical and hospital management to facilitate decisions by structuring a hierarchy of decision elements and weighting criteria involved in the decision problem. In order to select the best preventive policy to reduce the incidence of a given disease, this paper proposes the use of the analytic hierarchy process which considers two hierarchies allowing to analyse both the effectiveness and efficiency of some policies and their costs.

A multilevel thresholding is used for segmentation. Thresholding is applied to convert MRI images to binary images. Fractal texture analysis is carried out for texture feature extraction. Mean and area features are extracted from binary images. We have computed fractal dimension (FD) using box counting method. The fractal measurements describe the boundary complexity of objects and structures beings segmented. Three features extracted, namely, mean, area and FD are used for classification. The images are classified as tumour or non-tumour using artificial neural network (ANN). The experiments are carried out on coronal, sagittal and axial views of brain MRI images. We have used the different number of thresholds (t) in the range [0-10]. We have found that the required value of t is three. Eight different parameters viz. specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, false positive rate (FPR), positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), false discovery rate (FDR), F-SCORE for optimum number of thresholds are evaluated. We have obtained 100% classification accuracy for all the views of brain MRI images.","PeriodicalId":193362,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Medical Eng.
