METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING IMPROVED SEARCHING OF MEDICAL RECORDS

摘要

A method, apparatus and computer program product are therefore provided in order to provide improved searching of medical records. In this regard, the method, apparatus, and computer program product may provide a network infrastructure that gathers search analytics for medical records searches performed across a plurality of record keepers. Embodiments may identify correlations between querying record keepers and record keepers that provide records that are properly responsive to queries from the querying record keeper. For example, embodiments may derive search analytics related to which record keepers typically provide correct record results in response to a query from a particular record keeper, and these identified record keepers may be specifically queried in response to future requests received from the querying record keeper.

1. A method comprising:
receiving a medical records query from a first record keeper; determining, by a processor and using a set of search analytics for previous medical records queries, one or more second record keepers from a plurality of record keepers, the one or more second record keepers identified as having an increased likelihood of returning accurate results responsive to the medical records query than a remainder of the plurality of record keepers; processing the medical records query to identify one or more medical records associated with the plurality of record keepers; and providing the one or more medical records to the first record keeper, wherein medical records associated with the one or more second record keepers are evaluated according to different evaluation criteria than medical records associated with remainder of the plurality of record keepers.
