Adaptive medical documentation system

A system for adaptive medical data collection, the system comprising:

• at least one memory operable to store Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and other medical data relating to conditions of patients of a medical facility;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• trigger a probabilistic analysis of electronic records in response to a first set of information input into an EMR of a patient, the probabilistic analysis comprising a probabilistic network of associated terms derived from the other medical data;
• determine a first potential condition for the patient based on the probabilistic analysis;
• identify a second set of information indicated as relevant to the first potential condition of the patient from the probabilistic network;
• and
• generate a first request for the second set of information by identifying an established collection of information associated with the first potential condition of the patient and providing the first request for the second set of information in a preformatted medical form established for the collection of the second set of information, wherein the preformatted medical form is populated using the established collection of information associated with the first potential condition of the patient, and wherein the preformatted medical form is automatically adapted based on the first set of information input into the EMR and data input into the EMR subsequent to the generation of the first request;
• receive at least a portion of the second set of information
• repeat the triggering of the probabilistic analysis;
• and
• re-perform the probabilistic analysis using the second set of information to identify a second potential condition.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein data representing instructions executable by a programmed processor for adaptive medical data collection, the storage medium comprising the instructions for:

• triggering a probabilistic network analysis of electronic records in response to a first set of information input into an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) of a patient;
• determining a first potential condition for the patient based on the probabilistic analysis;
• identifying a second set of information indicated as relevant to the first potential condition of the patient;
• generating a first request for the second set of information by selecting an established collection of information associated with the first potential condition of the patient and providing the first request for the second set of information in a preformatted medical form established for the collection of the second set of information, wherein the preformatted medical form is populated using the established collection of information associated with the first potential condition of the patient, and wherein the preformatted medical form is automatically adapted based on the first set of information input into the EMR;
• receiving at least a portion of the second set of information;
• repeating the triggering of the probabilistic analysis;
• and
• re-performing the probabilistic network analysis of the EMR using the at least the portion of the second set of information to update at least one probability of the probabilistic network.
