1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
This research will cover the creation of good database system for the management of patient‟s records in Owerri general hospital and also provide efficient data mining tool for easy retrieval of data and discovery of hidden patterns in large volume of data.
1.5 SCOPE OF STUDY
This research work will be carried out on data mining for medical record system of Owerri General Hospital. The work reported in this research could be viewed as a step towards enhancing databases with functionalities.
1.6 LIMITATION OF STUDY
Data mining record is limited in that; some manual operation will still be needed to carry out the operation effectively. There was some constraints encountered during collection of data, poor data collection becomes apparent due to interviewing of hospital representatives like the consultants. Nurses, Doctors, Hospital attendants who were reluctant to disclose important information and statistical data which otherwise would have been relevant to this research, due to hospital secret which breeds some indifferent attitudes towards that.
It takes a long time and large commitment of resources to get a good result, unavailability of text and materials on this topic, made gathering of facts very difficult, some of the facts were gathered from the internet, which is quite expensive.
1.7 DEFINITION OF TERMS
Data Mining: Can be defined as “The nontrivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful information from data, and “The science of extracting useful information from large data set or databasesâ€.
It involves sorting through large amounts of data and picking out relevant information.
Information Retrieval: The act of locating quantities of data stored in a Database and producing useful information from the data.
Information Processing: A method of organizing, processing and extracting information to be easily stored, retrieved, searched and updated.
Record: It is a unit of data representing a particular transaction or a basic element of a file consisting in turn a number of interrelated data elements.
Hospital: A hospital is an institution of medical treatment of the sick and injured people.
Model: Is a pattern or mathematical/symbolic representation of real life System and or abstract system behaviors.
Artificial Intelligence: It is a branch of computer science that is dedicated to the study of the ways in which computers can be used to emulate or duplicate most human function.
Knowledge Base: Is an organized collection of declarative and procedural relationships that represents expertise in a focused area

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACTData mining is the extraction of hidden predictive information from large database which helps in predicting future trend and behavior thereby helping management make knowledge driven decisions. The data mining tool designed is to aid in quick access and retrieval of patients information to avoid time wasted in retrieving of such data from hospitals data warehouse. The data mining tool was also designed to discover hidden pattern that helps in decision making by management. Structured Sy ... Continue reading---
