Software Support for the Implementation of the Screening Programs

摘要

Screening programs exist for diseases that are common and often asymptomatic in the earlier stages, and if they are detected in the initial phase, the chances of a cure are notably higher. Therefore, the goal of health systems is to ensure 100% coverage in the implementation of screening. Unfortunately, the real coverage is far smaller and often below 50%, hence the issue of efficient screening is very important. This paper presents software support that is implemented in three ways and aims at more efficient implementation of screening programs. The production of a software module for the registration of patients for screening programs, significantly facilitates the traditional access to this data and enables the higher coverage of the target population. Another way to support screening is provided by business intelligence tools, by creating a hypercube over existing data. It is also possible to use artificial intelligence to improve the efficiency of screening programs.
