System and methods for distributed analysis of patient records

摘要

A system and associated methods provide healthcare entities with analyzing capabilities for records of a patient population. The analyzing process seeks to find matches between a piece of clinical knowledge introduced to a healthcare entity and data contained in the patient population records. According to one method, a service generates executable code based on the piece of clinical knowledge. Through a communication with the service, the healthcare entity makes a determination as to what extent the clinical knowledge has relevance to a patient population of the healthcare entity. Based on this determination, the healthcare entity receives at least a portion of the executable code. Then, the records of the patient population may be analyzed by the executable code to register matches of the clinical knowledge with data contained within the records. System activity may then be initiated based on the matches registered.

主权项

1. Non-transitory computer storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method for analyzing a set of records of a healthcare entity's patient population with respect to a piece of clinical knowledge embodied in executable code, comprising:
receiving a public health informational publication from a third-party publication source recognized by the healthcare entity as an authority for medical or healthcare-related clinical knowledge; analyzing the public health informational publication for a relevant piece of clinical information comprising an alert about a specific public health situation; extracting the relevant piece of clinical information from the public health informational publication; transforming the relevant piece of clinical information into executable code; distributing a uniform resource indicator (URI) to at least a portion of the executable code to the healthcare entity, wherein selection of the URI by the healthcare entity initiates execution of the at least the portion of the executable code against a set of structured electronic patient records of the patient population of the healthcare entity to register matches of the relevant piece of clinical information with data contained in the set of structured electronic patient records, wherein the matches correspond to a portion of the patient population; and queuing and ranking patients within the portion of the patient population according to a degree of matching between the relevant piece of clinical information and the each patient's data contained in the set of structured electronic patient records.
