Generation of concept scores based on analysis of clinical data

A computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code executable by one or more computer processors to perform an operation comprising:

• determining a set of keywords related to a clinical concept;
• identifying a plurality of attributes by searching a plurality of electronic health records (EHRs) based on the set of keywords;
• generating a plurality of attribute groups, wherein each of the attribute groups is statistically orthogonal and includes at least one of the plurality of attributes, based on occurrence data extracted from the plurality of EHRs;
• determining, for a first patient, a plurality of attribute scores for the plurality of attributes based on occurrence data extracted from one or more EHRs corresponding to the first patient;
• determining, for the first patient, a plurality of attribute group scores for the plurality of attribute groups, based on the plurality of attribute scores;
• and
• generating, for the first patient, a clinical concept score based on the plurality of attribute group scores.

A system comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• and
• a memory containing a program which when executed by the one or more computer processors performs an operation, the operation comprising:
• determining a set of keywords related to a clinical concept;
• identifying a plurality of attributes by searching a plurality of electronic health records (EHRs) based on the set of keywords;
• generating a plurality of attribute groups, wherein each of the attribute groups is statistically orthogonal and includes at least one of the plurality of attributes, based on occurrence data extracted from the plurality of EHRs;
• determining, for a first patient, a plurality of attribute scores for the plurality of attributes based on occurrence data extracted from one or more EHRs corresponding to the first patient;
• determining, for the first patient, a plurality of attribute group scores for the plurality of attribute groups, based on the plurality of attribute scores;
• and
• generating, for the first patient, a clinical concept score based on the plurality of attribute group scores.
