This pilot study evaluates the feasibility of applying supervised text classification to properly label successful patient handoffs. Using an expertly-created evaluation rubric as the gold standard for labeling, a variety of document classification techniques were applied to the transcribed dialogue of the Lead Flight specialist in LifeFlight simulation exercises. The purpose of the present work was to establish the effectiveness of the selected classification methods as part of natural language processing algorithm development to automatically identifying handoffs as successful/unsuccessful. Several different common preprocessing filtering methods and text classifiers were selected from the literature and are investigated. The results of the current research indicate that lowercasing tokens, TF-IDF transformation, and normalization of document length can have positive effects on the resulting F1 evaluation metric. Results from the classification test runs indicate that the best performing classifier varies with increasing n-fold cross validation, with Decision Trees (2-,3-fold) and Multinomial Naive Bayes (5-fold) yielding top F1-measures. 2017-06-09 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1496760037827537 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1496760037827537 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
