System and method for rapid assessment of lab value distributions

A system comprising:

• a data storage device configured to store a database comprising one or more records, wherein the records include a plurality of test codes, and wherein each of the test codes comprises one or more lab values;
• a server in data communication with the data storage device, suitably programmed to:
• receive a medical code;
• search the database to obtain a first group of records associated with individuals having the medical code, wherein each record of the first group of records includes a plurality of test codes, wherein each of the test codes comprises one or more lab values;
• search the database to obtain a second group of records associated with a control population, wherein each record of the second group of records includes the plurality of test codes;
• evaluate a first percentile lab value for each test code of the first group of records representative of each of the one or more lab values of each test code;
• evaluate a second percentile lab value for each test code of the second group of records representative of each of the one or more lab values of each test code, wherein each test code for which a second percentile lab value is evaluated is also a test code in the first group of records;
• determine a relevancy of each test code to the medical code based on the first percentile lab value for each test code and the second percentile lab value for each test code;
• wherein the server is further configured to compare a first percentile lab value representing a particular test code in the first group of records and a second percentile lab value representing the same particular test code in the second group of records;
• and
• generate an output comprising a distribution graph on a shared scale from the first and second group of records, wherein the output displays the relevancy of each test code to the medical code.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer usable program code executable to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a medical code;
• searching a database stored on a data storage device to obtain a first group of records associated with individuals having the medical code, wherein each record of the first group of records includes a plurality of test codes, and wherein each of the test codes comprises one or more lab values;
• searching the database to obtain a second group of records associated with a control population, wherein each record of the second group of records is identified by includes the plurality of test codes;
• and
• evaluating a first percentile lab value for each test code of the first group of records representative of each of the one or more lab values of each test code;
• evaluating a second percentile lab value for each test code of the second group of records representative of each of the one or more lab values of each test code, wherein
• each test code for which a second percentile lab value is evaluated is also a test code in the first group of records;
• determining a relevancy of each test code to the medical code based on the first percentile lab value for each test code and the second percentile lab value for each test code;
• comparing a first percentile lab value representing a particular test code in the first group, of records and a second percentile lab value representing the same particular test code in the second group of records;
• and
• generating an output comprising a distribution graph on a shared scale from the first and second group of records, wherein the output displays the relevancy of each test code to the medical code.
