Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-storage media are provided for facilitating the management of population health. A parallel processing architecture receives patient population health data from healthcare facilities along with one or more documents that are in human-readable form. From the human-readable document, computer-readable code is generated that includes high-level clinical logic is executed against the population health data to identify, among other things, patients in the population who qualify for health intervention programs. Using this information, healthcare facilities can implement management programs to help care for these patients.
Claims20
One or more computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a computing device, facilitate a method of identifying members of a population who qualify for a health intervention program, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more sets of patient population health data;
- receiving a document in human-readable form, the document corresponding to the health intervention program;
- generating computer-readable code that corresponds to the document in human-readable form, the computer-readable code comprising high-level clinical logic;
- storing the computer-readable code that corresponds to the document in human-readable form in association with a distributed storage system;
- and
- executing the set of high-level clinical logic against the one or more sets of patient population health data to identify one or more members of the population who qualify for the health intervention program.
A computer-implemented system for processing population health data, the system comprising:
- a runtime engine comprising:
- a receiving component operable to:
- a) receive one or more sets of patient population health data, and
- b) receive a document in human-readable form, the document corresponding to the health intervention program;
- a conversion component operable to:
- a) identify, from the document, one or more concepts and one or more concept-specific functions associated with the one or more concepts,
- b) define the one or more concepts and the one or more concept-specific functions based on data in the document, and
- c) generate computer-readable code that corresponds to the document utilizing the defined one or more concepts and the one or more concept-specific functions, the computer-readable code comprising a set of high-level clinical logic;
- and
- a plurality of batch processing nodes operable to:
- a) execute the set of high-level clinical logic against the one or more sets of patient population health data to identify one or more members of the population who qualify for the health intervention programs.
One or more computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a computing device, facilitate of method of identifying members of a population who qualify for a health intervention program, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more sets of patient population health data;
- receiving a document in human-readable form;
- from the document, identifying one or more concepts and one or more concept-specific functions associated with the one or more concepts;
- defining the one or more concepts and the one or more concept-specific functions based on data in the document;
- generating computer-readable code that corresponds to the document utilizing the defined one or more concepts and the one or more concept-specific functions, the computer-readable code comprising a set of high-level clinical logic;
- and
- executing the set of high-level clinical logic against the one or more sets of patient population health data to identify one or more members of the population who qualify for the health intervention program.
