In this study, we develop clinical pathways for test and medical treatment items of acute appendicitis patients in emergency room. In order to develop the clinical pathways, we first employ the order selection method by Park et al. (2010), and then display the selected orders in such a way that associated orders are tied together. More specifically the order selection method that we employ is based on lift and, starting from the orders with higher frequencies, sequentially removes the negatively associated orders with lift values less than 0.9. The way associated orders are selected and tied together is similar to that of the order selection method. More specifically, starting from the selected orders with higher frequencies, the orders with lift values greater than 1.1 are considered associated and displayed to the right of the corresponding order. Therefore, in the diagram of clinical pathways, the orders at the left hand side, in principle, are not associated with each other and upper orders have higher frequencies, and associated orders are located to the right of corresponding order at the left hand side and more left orders, in principle, have higher frequencies.

This paper deals with the high precision of GPS measurement reduction and its implementation on near real-time and kinematic mode for those applications requiring centimeter-level precision of the estimated coordinates, even if target stations are a few hundred kilometers away from their references. We designed the system architecture, data streaming and processing scheme. Intensive investigation was performed to determine the characteristics of the GPS medium-range functional model, IGS infrastructure and some exemplary systems. The designed system consisted of streaming and processing units; the former automatically collects GPS data through Ntrip and IGS ultra-rapid products by FTP connection, whereas the latter handles the reduction of GPS observables on static and kinematic mode to a time series of the target stations' 3D coordinates. The data streaming unit was realized by a DOS batch file, perl script and BKG's BNC program, whereas the processing unit was implemented by definition of a process control file of BPE. To assess the functionality and precision of the positional solutions, an experiment was carried out against a network comprising seven GPS stations with baselines ranging from a few hundred up to a thousand kilometers. The results confirmed that the function of the whole system properly operated as designed, with a precision better than ${\pm}1cm$ in each of the positional component with 95% confidence level.
