Abstract
With so many health organisations housing large data sources, data mining is becoming increasingly popular as the benefits are recognised in health industry. This paper aims to identify an application problem in health system and solve it using existing data mining methods. A Classification data mining technique has been chosen here to explore a health agency’s data so we can project new cases by looking at past experience with known answers. The discovered knowledge can then be applied in the health agency to increase the working efficiency and improve the quality of decision making.
