IDENTIFICATION OF MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS WHO EMPHASIZE SPECIFIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS OR MEDICAL PROCEDURES IN THEIR PRACTICE
摘要
A scheme enables the identification of medical professionals having expertise with a particular medical condition or procedure. Areas of expertise are assigned to both conditions and procedures and medical professionals who treat the condition or perform the procedure. A description for treatment is received and used to identify a specific condition or procedure. Upon identification of the condition or procedure, the areas of expertise assigned to the condition or procedure are retrieved. Medical professionals who also have assigned one or more of the retrieved areas of expertise are then identified.
