Systems and methods for generating subsets of electronic healthcare-related documents

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor of a computer to:

• obtain, from one or more electronic document databases, a plurality of uncoded electronic documents associated with a patient's encounter with a health care organization;
• obtain, from a rules database, a set of rules defining, for given types of electronic documents, a plurality of terms relevant to medical coding of the plurality of uncoded electronic documents, wherein the set of rules comprise a relevance score indicative of a relevance of respective terms of the plurality of terms to medical coding;
• generate subsets of the plurality of uncoded electronic documents by applying the set of rules to the plurality of electronic documents, wherein:
• each subset comprises a respective extract from the plurality of uncoded electronic documents comprising one or more terms of the plurality of terms defined by the set of rules as being relevant to medical coding;
• the subsets comprise a first portion of the plurality of uncoded electronic documents comprising at least some terms of the plurality of terms, the first portion being different than a second portion of the plurality of electronic documents that does not comprise any terms of the plurality of terms;
• generating the subsets by applying the set of rules comprises selecting the subsets of the plurality of uncoded electronic documents that include terms with respective relevance scores indicative of greater relevance to medical coding than terms of other subsets of the second portion of the plurality of uncoded electronic documents;
• and
• generate, for display, a user interface comprising a display area comprising at least one subset of the subsets of the plurality of uncoded electronic documents that include at least some of the first portion of the electronic documents instead of the second portion of the electronic documents;
• generate, for display in the display area, visual indicia identifying the one or more terms of the plurality of terms defined by the rules as being relevant to medical coding from the at least one subset of the subsets of the plurality of uncoded electronic documents that include at least some of the first portion of the electronic documents;
• receive, via the user interface, a selection of one of a term of the one or more terms of the plurality of terms defined by the rules as being relevant to medical coding or the visual indicia identifying the term;
• responsive to receiving the selection, determine at least a portion of a medical code related to the term of the selection;
• and
• generate, for display as part of the user interface, at least the portion of the medical code related to the term of the selection.

A system comprising:

• one or more microprocessors and memory which executes software to cause the system to:
• obtain, from one or more electronic document databases, a plurality of uncoded electronic documents associated with a patient's encounter with a health care organization;
• obtain, from a rules database, a set of rules defining, for given types of electronic documents, a plurality of terms relevant to medical coding of the plurality of uncoded electronic documents, wherein the set of rules comprise a relevance score indicative of a relevance of respective terms of the plurality of terms to medical coding;
• generate subsets of the plurality of uncoded electronic documents by applying the set of rules to the plurality of electronic documents, wherein:
• each subset comprises a respective extract from the plurality of uncoded electronic documents comprising one or more terms of the plurality of terms defined by the set of rules as being relevant to medical coding;
• the subsets comprise a first portion of the plurality of uncoded electronic documents comprising at least some terms of the plurality of terms, the first portion being different than a second portion of the plurality of electronic documents that does not comprise any terms of the plurality of terms;
• generating the subsets by applying the set of rules comprises selecting the subsets of the plurality of uncoded electronic documents that include terms with respective relevance scores indicative of greater relevance to medical coding than terms of other subsets of the second portion of the plurality of uncoded electronic documents;
• and
• generate, for display, a user interface comprising a display area comprising at least one subset of the subsets of the plurality of uncoded electronic documents that include at least some of the first portion of the electronic documents instead of the second portion of the electronic documents;
• generate, for display in the display area, visual indicia identifying the one or more terms of the plurality of terms defined by the rules as being relevant to medical coding from the at least one subset of the subsets of the plurality of uncoded electronic documents that include at least some of the first portion of the electronic documents;
• receive, via the user interface, a selection of one of a term of the one or more terms of the plurality of terms defined by the rules as being relevant to medical coding or the visual indicia identifying the term;
• responsive to receiving the selection, determine at least a portion of a medical code related to the term of the selection;
• and
• generate, for display as part of the user interface, at least the portion of the medical code related to the term of the selection.
