This research focuses on the application of data mining techniques in a healthcare environment by utilizing patient visit data from Hospital X, coded with ICD-10 diagnoses. The purpose of this study is to explore the application of data mining techniques in a healthcare environment, specifically to identify the relationship between diseases using patient visit data from X Hospital. This research utilizes the FP-Growth algorithm method followed by Association Rule Mining to find frequent occurrences of diseases in the data set. The research process involved data pre-processing, transformation into binary format, and careful parameter setting (minimum support 0.95 and confidence 0.9). The results showed a strong association between chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes, which are prevalent in the patient population. This association provides insight into potential comorbidities and may assist healthcare providers in improving diagnosis accuracy and treatment effectiveness. This research has implications for the application of data mining techniques, demonstrating its potential in improving predictive analytics in healthcare and strategic planning. This approach not only aids in the efficient allocation of healthcare resources, but also aligns with the broader goal of improving personalized patient care.
