SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DATA SENSITIVE FILTERING OF PATIENT DEMOGRAPHIC RECORD QUERIES

摘要

A method for data sensitive filtering in patient database searches includes providing (71) a search criteria comprising one or more search locator fields, determining a retrieval formula from said search criteria that maximizes error tolerance in said search criteria while satisfying a predefined response time requirement, retrieving (72) said candidate records from said database, wherein if no retrieval formula can be found to satisfies said response time requirements, requesting additional search criteria, scoring (73) each said candidate record by comparing a search criteria locator field with a corresponding retrieved record field, determining (75) whether said score of said candidate record exceeds a predefined threshold, and if said candidate score does exceed said threshold, adding said candidate record to a list of records to be returned in response to said search criteria.
