| 20080214928 | Method for Guiding Differential Diagnosis Through Information Maximization - A system and method for diagnosis and treatment decisions based on information maximization is disclosed. Utilizing patient information as well as clinical records from other patients can reduce the uncertainty in both diagnosis and treatment options. The information maximization may consider additional data such as risk, cost, and comfort in making a proper medical decision. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080240425 | Data De-Identification By Obfuscation - Medical or other data is de-identified by obfuscation. Located instances are replaced. By replacing with values in a same format and level of generality, multiple possible identifications—the replacement values and the instances not located—are provided in the data, obfuscating the original identification. By replacing as a function of a probability, the resulting data set has different instances distributed in a way making identification of the actual or original instances not located by searching more difficult. | 10-02-2008 |

| 20090299977 | Method for Automatic Labeling of Unstructured Data Fragments From Electronic Medical Records - A method for automatically labeling unstructured data from electronic medical records using a computer-based medical data processing system includes selecting a data pattern based on a desired medical finding. The selected data pattern is searched for within source data including patient records to find one or more matches. A context of a predetermined range around each data pattern match found is identified within the source data and the found contexts are associated with a particular medical finding. The medical finding can be at the patient level or document level, not necessarily at the context level. Associations between contexts and medical findings are identified. A classifier based on an association between the identified contexts and the desired medical finding is trained. The trained classifier is used to automatically identify likely instances of passages, documents or patients related to the desired medical finding from within subsequent data including patient records. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100131438 | Medical Ontologies for Computer Assisted Clinical Decision Support - Medical ontology information is used for mining and/or probabilistic modeling. A domain knowledge base may be automatically or semi-automatically created by a processor from a medical ontology. The domain knowledge base, such as a list of disease associated terms, is used to mine for corresponding information from a medical record. The relationship of different terms with respect to a disease may be used to train a probabilistic model. Probabilities of a disease or chance of indicating the disease are determined based on the terms from a medical ontology. This probabilistic reasoning is learned with a machine from ontology information and a training data set. | 05-27-2010 |

| 20110295621 | Healthcare Information Technology System for Predicting and Preventing Adverse Events - An adverse event may be prevented by predicting the probability of a given patient to have or undergo the adverse event. The probability alone may prevent the adverse event by educating the patient or medical professional. The probability may be predicted at any time, such as upon entry of information for the patient, periodic analysis, or at the time of admission. The probability may be used to generate a workflow action item to reduce the probability, to warn, to output appropriate instructions, and/or assist in avoiding adverse event. The probability may be specific to a hospital, physician group, or other medical entity, allowing prevention to focus on past adverse event causes for the given entity. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110295622 | Healthcare Information Technology System for Predicting or Preventing Readmissions - Hospital readmissions may be prevented. Readmission is prevented by predicting the probability of a given patient to be readmitted. The probability alone may prevent readmission by educating the patient or medical professional. The probability may be predicted during a patient stay and used to generate a workflow action item to reduce the probability, to warn, to output appropriate instructions, and/or assist in avoiding readmission. The probability may be specific to a hospital, physician group, or other entity, allowing prevention to focus on past readmission causes for the given entity. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20120041784 | Computerized Surveillance of Medical Treatment - Medical treatment is automatically surveyed. Drugs or other treatments may be monitored post-market. This surveillance may be accomplished in two ways: (1) Identify patients that potentially match templates consistent with possible adverse reactions, possibly including adverse reactions not associated with the treatment. Potentially, if the match is good enough, a single patient may be sufficient to raise an alert. Alternately, multiple patients partially matching a template may cause an alert. (2) Identify patient clusters with unusual patterns. Multiple patients associated with greater rates of adverse events or event severity not expected with the treatment are identified. The data for surveillance is acquired from multiple sources, so may be more comprehensive for early recognition of adverse effects. Data gathering and surveillance are computerized, so early, cost effective recognition may be more likely. | 02-16-2012 |
| 20120065987 | Computer-Based Patient Management for Healthcare - Computer-based patient management is provided for healthcare. Patient data is used to determine a severity, assign a patient to a corresponding diagnosis-related group, and provide a timeline for care at a medical facility. Reminders or alerts are sent to maintain the timeline for more cost effective care. Reminders, suggestions, transitions between care givers, scheduling and other risk management actions are performed. As more data becomes available as part of the care, the care and timeline may be adjusted automatically for more efficient utilization of resources. Accountable care optimization is provided as part of case management. Automated care before any injury or illness and automated care after discharge is provided to optimize the health and costs for a patient. The patient is assigned to the cohort based on the patient data. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20120065997 | Automatic Processing of Handwritten Physician Orders - Physician orders are automatically processed. Rather than requiring entry with a user interface in a computerized order entry system, physician orders may be handwritten on a piece of paper or entered on another handwriting device. The orders are scanned or transmitted. Using a lexicon limited to the vocabulary of possible orders, handwriting recognition is applied to the scanned order. By limiting the lexicon, the accuracy of the optical character recognition may be increased. The lexicon may be further limited by determining a diagnosis and/or treatment or imaging modality for the patient and selecting a lexicon limited to orders associated with the diagnosis or modality. The recognized order is then implemented by the computerized order entry system. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20140207492 | Healthcare Information Technology System for Predicting or Preventing Readmissions - Hospital readmissions may be prevented. Readmission is prevented by predicting the probability of a given patient to be readmitted. The probability alone may prevent readmission by educating the patient or medical professional. The probability may be predicted during a patient stay and used to generate a workflow action item to reduce the probability, to warn, to output appropriate instructions, and/or assist in avoiding readmission. The probability may be specific to a hospital, physician group, or other entity, allowing prevention to focus on past readmission causes for the given entity. | 07-24-2014 |
