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. Examples of system activity include compiling a contact list of patients and/or healthcare providers associated with specific records where matches occurred, generating a report about the matches registered, and flagging specific records where matches occurred so that care providers may discuss issues surrounding the clinical knowledge with associated patients in a future encounter with the healthcare entity, among others.
A method in a computer system of queuing tasks based on the receipt of executable code embodying a piece of clinical knowledge, the tasks affecting a portion of a patient population of a healthcare entity, comprising:
A method in a computer system for presenting a healthcare entity with an option to automatically analyze a set of records of the healthcare entity's patient population, the analysis regarding a piece of clinical knowledge, comprising:
A method in a computer system for automatically implementing an analysis of a set of records of the patient population of the healthcare entity, the analysis regarding a piece of clinical knowledge, comprising:
A method for analyzing a set of records of a of a healthcare entity's patient population with respect to a piece of clinical knowledge embodied in executable code, comprising:
