The essential need of database
management systems to improve the quality of
healthcare delivery makes the use of data mining
techniques a phenomenon that cannot be ignored.
Today, many healthcare providers are in the business of
capturing and storing patients' personalized health
information such as demographics, family history,
allergies, medications, and diagnosis. This information
is generally collected not only to make the healthcare
practitioner well-informed about the health status of
patients but also to improve the efficiency of care
delivery and reduce waiting times. This paper aims to
discover the applicability of data mining algorithms on
clinical datasets. An experimental study was conducted
to compare the performance of four different learning
algorithms across four clinical datasets using 10 fold
cross-validations.
