Abstract
Medical related quality of care information is extracted and edited for reporting. Patient records are mined. The mining may include mining unstructured data to create structured information. Measures are derived automatically from the structured information. A user may then edit the measures, data points used to derive the measures, or other quality metric based on expert review. The editing may allow for a better quality report. Tools may be provided to configure reports, allowing generation of new or different reports.
Claims32
A system for editing medical related quality metric information, the system comprising:
- an user input;
- at least one memory operable to store at least one medical patient record;
- and
- a processor operable to extract at least a first quality metric from the at least one medical patient record, operable to receive a change request relative to the first quality metric from the user input, and operable to output the first quality metric modified as a function of the change request.
In a computer readable storage medium having stored therein data representing instructions executable by a programmed processor for editing medical related quality metric information, the storage medium comprising instructions for:
- mining a patient record for information related to a plurality of report values;
- deriving the report values from the information;
- displaying the report values;
- receiving a user edit of at least one of the report values;
- and
- generating a report as a function of the user edit and the report values.
A method for editing medical related quality metric information, the method comprising:
- extracting facts from a patient record;
- displaying the facts;
- receiving an edit to a first one of the facts;
- and
- generating a report as a function of the facts, including the edited first fact.
In a computer readable storage medium having stored therein data representing instructions executable by a programmed processor for editing medical related quality metric information, the storage medium comprising instructions for:
- providing a report template;
- receiving user indication of quality metrics to be included in a report;
- mining a patient record for information associated with the quality metrics;
- and
- generating the report with quality metric values derived from the mined information.
