Apparatus for patient record identification

An apparatus for patient record identification, comprising:

• an input unit;
• and
• a processing unit;
• wherein, the input unit is configured to enable a user to input at least one query value relating to at least one medical condition;
• wherein, the input unit is configured to receive patient records from a patient database, wherein each patient record comprises at least one attribute value relating to the at least one medical condition;
• wherein, the processing unit is configured to determine a first set of patient records based on a similarity between the at least one query value input by the user and the at least one attribute value for the patient records;
• wherein, the processing unit is configured to separate the first set of patient records into patient records relating to a positive outcome for the at least one medical condition and into patient records relating to a negative outcome for the at least one medical condition;
• wherein, the processing unit is configured to implement a model to calculate at least one outcome probability for the at least one medical condition for each patient record of the first set of patient records based on the at least one attribute value for each patient record of the first set of patient records;
• and
• wherein, the processing unit is configured to determine a second set of patient records from the first set of patient records comprising at least one comparison comprising utilization of a number of patient records in a first sub-set of the patient records relating to the positive outcome and a number of patient records in a second subset of the patient records relating to the negative outcome and the at least one outcome probability for the at least one medical condition for each patient record of the first sub-set and second sub-set of the patient records.
