Abstract
An algorithmic method for generating a medical utilization profile for a patient to facilitate decision making in the medical risk analyses, wherein the algorithmic method is comprised of four key components: (1) key independent variables recognized including medical data sources; (2) an ontology based process to organize these variables; (3) rules (probability distributions etc.) that can be used to draw correlative information from the given data and its ontological organization; and (4) usage of reasoning engine to process the gathered information and draw inferences.
Claims20
A computer-implemented algorithmic method for generating a medical utilization profile for a patient, comprising steps of:
- a. determining medical data sources which contain medical data of said patient;
- b. applying reasoning engines to define an initial ontology model which matches said data sources;
- c. creating an ontology implementation that includes characterization, and
- classification of said medical data in a given analysis sequence;
- d. enabling said initial ontology model to thereby modify said initial model;
- and
- e. comparing the initial ontology model with the modified ontology model through a Set Theory including comparing with intersections and unions which yields results that drive business rules;
- and
- f. generating a patient profile.
