Cognitive Medication Reconciliation

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to be specifically configured to execute operations to:

• generate aggregate patient data from patient data obtained from computing devices associated with a plurality of different sources of patient data for a patient;
• analyze the aggregate patient data to identify a duplicate medication instance indicated by content of the aggregate patient data, wherein the duplicate medication instance is a first entry in the aggregate patient data obtained from patient data originating from a first source that identifies a same or similar medication as a second entry in the aggregate patient data obtained from patient data originating from a second source;
• determine whether the duplicate medication instance is a valid duplicate medication instance or an invalid duplicate medication instance based on features extracted from the aggregate patient data;
• and
• in response to a determination that the duplicate medication instance is an invalid duplicate medication instance, send a notification to a computing device indicating invalidity of the duplicate medication instance.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• generate aggregate patient data from patient data obtained from computing devices associated with a plurality of different sources of patient data for a patient;
• analyze the aggregate patient data to identify a duplicate medication instance indicated by content of the aggregate patient data, wherein the duplicate medication instance is a first entry in the aggregate patient data obtained from patient data originating from a first source that identifies a same or similar medication as a second entry in the aggregate patient data obtained from patient data originating from a second source;
• determine whether the duplicate medication instance is a valid duplicate medication instance or an invalid duplicate medication instance based on features extracted from the aggregate patient data;
• and
• in response to a determination that the duplicate medication instance is an invalid duplicate medication instance, send a notification to a computing device indicating invalidity of the duplicate medication instance.
