Abstract
Health care delivery economics prediction includes the receipt of a raster image of a document and the performance of optical character recognition (OCR) upon the document so as to produce parseable text. Then, a healthcare profile is created based upon a presence of a selection of words in the parseable text which had previously been associated with a particular course of treatment. Finally, a cost of the particular course of treatment is computed and stored in a database with data derived from the parseable text.
Claims12
A health care delivery economics prediction method comprising:
- receiving a raster image of a document and performing OCR upon the document to produce parseable text;
- generating a healthcare profile based upon a presence of a selection of words in the parseable text previously associated with a particular course of treatment;
- computing a cost of the particular course of treatment;
- and,
- storing the cost in a database with data derived from the parseable text.
A data processing system adapted for health care delivery economics prediction, the system comprising:
- a host computing platform comprising one or more computers, each with memory and one or processing units including one or more processing cores;
- and,
- a health care delivery economics prediction module comprising computer program instructions enabled while executing in the memory of at least one of the processing units of the host computing platform to perform:
- receiving a raster image of a document and performing optical character recognition (OCR) upon the document to produce parseable text;
- generating a healthcare profile based upon a presence of a selection of words in the parseable text previously associated with a particular course of treatment;
- computing a cost of the particular course of treatment;
- and,
- storing the cost in a database with data derived from the parseable text.
A computing device comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions stored therein, the instructions being executable by at least one processing core of a processing unit to cause the processing unit to perform a method for health care delivery economics prediction, the method including:
- receiving a raster image of a document and performing OCR upon the document to produce parseable text;
- generating a healthcare profile based upon a presence of a selection of words in the parseable text previously associated with a particular course of treatment;
- computing a cost of the particular course of treatment;
- and,
- storing the cost in a database with data derived from the parseable text.
