Systems and methods for health information messages archiving

摘要

Messages having patient healthcare information are exchanged between various healthcare IT systems. The messages are formatted according to various specific healthcare communication standards. The standards enable communication of the patient healthcare information among the healthcare IT systems. The messages are collected into a repository. Data mining is performed on the collected messages in order to make health-related findings.

1. A method of mining healthcare communication messages transmitted over a healthcare network comprising:
receiving, from the healthcare network, a plurality of messages, wherein each message of the plurality of messages is formatted according to one of a plurality of healthcare communication standard; identifying, from the plurality of received messages, a first set of messages formatted according to a first healthcare communication standard and a second set of messages formatted according to a second healthcare communication standard, the second healthcare communication standard being different from the first healthcare communication standard; archiving the identified first set of messages in a first repository associated with the first healthcare communication standard and the identified second set of messages in a second repository associated with the second healthcare communication standard; identifying first patient healthcare information by parsing each of the identified first set of messages based on the first healthcare communication standard and the identified second set of messages based on the second healthcare communication standard; collecting, in a patient healthcare information repository, a copy of the first patient healthcare information identified from the identified first set of messages and the identified second set of messages, wherein the copy of the first patient healthcare information is grouped based on at least one attribute associated with the first patient healthcare information; normalizing the collected copy of the first patient healthcare information stored in the patient healthcare information repository; identifying at least one trend based on a data pattern associated with the collected copy of the first patient healthcare information by mining the collected copy of the first patient healthcare information stored in the patient healthcare information repository; generating a first health-related finding based on the at least one identified trend using an automated reasoning; and outputting the first health-related finding to a user interface.
