Abstract

Provided are systems and methods for referencing intent-based taxonomies to enable more natural approaches for users to specify problems to be solved, questions to be answered, and other content requests that can be delivered within online communities. In the medical setting, physicians and medical personnel are accustomed to provide medical information and ask questions of other physicians in the form of a narrative which can be organized around medical cases. Intuitive user interfaces are provided that facilitate definition of intent during case generation and case searching. Linking UI displays and narrative data structures associated with intent information can enable definition and navigation of intent-based models of the cases. Intent-based models can reflect standardize concepts (e.g., medical diagnoses and medical concept ontologies) facilitating their navigation based on intent. Further, the intent-based models of cases can include additional close-ended selections in the UI to further interact with intent-based models of cases.

Claims23

Dependent claims

A system for interacting with an online information environment, the system comprising:

at least one processor operatively connected to a memory, the at least one processor configured to execute a plurality of system components from the memory, the system components comprising a user interface component configured to:
display a creation view configured for creating a case and comprising an open-ended text field to receive text indicative of a chief complaint of a patient and a first close-ended data field to receive a parameter indicative of an age of the patient;
generate and display a list of suggested clinical terms to add to the open-ended text field using at least one text fragment from the text indicative of the chief complaint of the patient and the age of the patient;
identify and emphasize key terms in the text indicative of the chief complaint of the patient the open-ended text field;
assign one or more classification tags to the case based on the identified key terms;
display a response view configured for responding to the case and comprising a display of information regarding the case, a display of at least one previously submitted response to the case, and an open-ended text field to receive a response to the case;
display a search view configured for searching a database of cases, the database configured to store the cases as data objects including case information, the case information including a question, a specialty requirement for the case, and at least one concept, and comprising a search field;
and
match terms in the search field with the one or more classification tags to identify relevant cases.

A computer implemented method for interacting with an online environment, the method comprising:

displaying a creation view configured for creating a case and comprising an open-ended text field to receive text indicative of a chief complaint of a patient and a first close-ended data field to receive a parameter indicative of an age of the patient;
generating and displaying a list of suggested clinical terms to add to the open-ended text field using at least one text fragment from the text indicative of the chief complaint of the patient and the age of the patient;
identifying and emphasizing key terms in the open-ended text field;
assigning one or more classification tags to the case based on the identified key terms;
displaying a response view configured for responding to a case and comprising a display of information regarding the case, a display of at least one previously submitted response to the case, and an open-ended text field to receive a response to the case;
displaying a search view configured for searching a database of cases, the database configured to store the cases as data objects including case information, the case information including a question, a specialty requirement for the case, and at least one concept, and comprising a search field;
and
matching terms in the search field with the one or more classification tags to identify relevant cases.
