ABSTRACT:

Therole of data mining in health care has become the subject matter of wide andvaried research activities [Kaur H. et.al., 2006]. Extraction of usefulinformation from health care data offers a lot of challenges in terms ofstorage, dissemination, privacy and security of patient data. While the privacyissue is more of a legal and ethical issue rather than technological issue,data mining offers broader community-based gains that enable and improvehealthcare forecasting, analysis, and visualisation [Payton F.C., 2003]. Guideduse of technologies like database systems, data mining and knowledge managementcan contribute a lot to decision support systems in health care.
