Information is the key resource to any application. Absence of the necessary information in healthcare domain can be hazardous for human life. Field of data mining is growing day by day but it is found that its application to healthcare records still very challenging as compared to other records.

Clustering: It is an unsupervised learning technique in which classes (output) are unknown [3]. It works by finding thesimilarities/distance between two objects. If the similarity/distance measure is within the threshold value, objects will belong to same class, otherwise not. The objects that belong to same class will together form a cluster; hence this technique is named as clustering. K-means algorithm [5] is a very famous clustering algorithm which results in k clusters.
