PRIVACY AWARENESS TOOL

摘要

Systems and methods for applying sets of rules to data for providing useful information for review or action at an appropriate time. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to applying rules to large data sets of audit information from clinical systems of one or more healthcare provider facilities to detect patterns of behaviors that may be of concern (e.g., potential privacy violations, objectivity concerns, fraudulent behavior, abnormal activity, etc.), and to address the behaviors through human or system review or action. The rules may be weighted, aggregated, and scored to facilitate the improved detection of patterns of certain behaviors occurring at one or more healthcare provider facilities.
