Patient Visits Outpatient and inpatient insurance at Class C Hospitals is increasing from year to year. Increased visits to insurance patients will have an impact on the inpatient and outpatient health services provided. From the increase in patient visits, the data owned by the hospital is increasingly abundant. The data can be used to explore knowledge, find certain patterns. To explore knowledge about Inpatient and Outpatient Insurance patients, data mining clustering techniques are used with the Self Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm using R Studio tools. Clustering technique with the implementation of the Self Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm is a technique for grouping data based on certain characteristics which are then mapped into areas that resemble map shapes. The CRISP-DM method is used in this study to perform the stages of the data mining process. The results obtained from the implementation of clustering with the Self Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm are obtained 2 clusters representing dense areas and non-congested areas. Dense areas are represented by Internal Medicine Clinic, Surgery Clinic, Eye Clinic, Hemodialysis, Melati Room, Orchid Room, Bougenville Room, Flamboyan Room. Non-crowded areas are represented by General Clinics, Dental Clinics, Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics, Children's Clinics, Mawar Room and Soka Room

Background and objective: In the current pandemic scenario, data mining tools are fundamental to evaluate the measures adopted to contain the spread of COVID-19. In this study, unsupervised neural networks of the Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) type were used to assess the spatial and temporal spread of COVID-19 in Brazil, according to the number of cases and deaths in regions, states, and cities. Materials and methods: The SOM applied in this context does not evaluate which measures applied have helped contain the spread of the disease, but these datasets represent the repercussions of the country’s measures, which were implemented to contain the virus’ spread. Results: This approach demonstrated that the spread of the disease in Brazil does not have a standard behavior, changing according to the region, state, or city. The analyses showed that cities and states in the north and northeast regions of the country were the most affected by the disease, with the highest number of cases and deaths registered per 100,000 inhabitants. Conclusions: The SOM clustering was able to spatially group cities, states, and regions according to their coronavirus cases, with similar behavior. Thus, it is possible to benefit from the use of similar strategies to deal with the virus’ spread in these cities, states, and regions.

Practical data analysis often encounters data sets with both relevant and useless variables. Supervised variable selection is the task of selecting the relevant variables based on some predefined criterion. We propose a robust method for this task. The user manually selects a set of target variables and trains a Self-Organizing Map with these data. This sets a criterion to variable selection and is an illustrative description of the user's problem, even for multivariate target data. The user also defines another set of variables that are potentially related to the problem. Our method returns a subset of these variables, which best corresponds to the description provided by the Self-Organizing Map and, thus, agrees with the user's understanding about the problem. The method is conceptually simple and, based on experiments, allows an accessible approach to supervised variable selection.
