Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing an information storage management system

A system, comprising:

• a computer processing device in communication with storage subsystems;
• and
• an information storage management application executing on the computer processing device, the information storage management application implementing a method, comprising:
• providing matrices of symptoms and corresponding conditions, wherein selected groupings of the symptoms and the corresponding conditions are mapped from the matrices to digital asset types, the digital asset types representing types of diagnostic testing performed for the corresponding conditions;
• receiving a data item related to a patient, the data item comprising at least one of the symptoms from the matrices;
• looking up a record for the patient, the record identifying digital assets for the patient that are stored in the storage subsystems;
• applying a policy to the digital assets using the matrices and based upon the data item, the policy defining a minimum number of a group of the symptoms related to a diagnosis;
• selecting a subset of the digital assets in the record, the subject selected responsive to the applying the policy;
• and
• migrating the subset of the digital assets to at least one designated storage subsystem, based on corresponding storage characteristics, operable for expediting access to the subset of the digital assets;
• wherein the data item further includes a severity value assigned to the symptom, and the policy comprises a minimum threshold of the severity value.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon, which when executed by a computer, causes the computer to implement a method, the method comprising:

• providing matrices of symptoms and corresponding conditions, wherein selected groupings of the symptoms and the corresponding conditions are mapped from the matrices to digital asset types, the digital asset types representing types of diagnostic testing performed for the corresponding conditions;
• receiving a data item related to a patient, the data item comprising at least one of the symptoms from the matrices;
• looking up a record for the patient, the record identifying digital assets for the patient that are stored in the storage subsystems;
• applying a policy to the digital assets using the matrices and based upon the data item, the policy defining a minimum number of a group of the symptoms related to a diagnosis;
• selecting a subset of the digital assets in the record, the subset selected responsive to the applying the policy;
• and
• migrating the subset of the digital assets to at least one designated storage subsystem, based on corresponding storage characteristics, operable for expediting access to the subset of the digital assets;
• wherein the data item further includes a severity value assigned to the symptom, wherein the policy comprises a minimum threshold of the severity value.
