Automated patient/document identification and categorization for medical data

A system, comprising:

• a memory device for storing a program;
• a processor in communication with the memory device, the processor operative with the program to:
• receive a data source selection, the data source including medical information of a plurality of patients;
• receive a data pattern that is related to a concept to be explored in the data source;
• query the data source to find information that approximately matches the data pattern;
• and
• receive the information from the data source, wherein the information includes unstructured data, assign a classification to individual parts of the information based on the part's relationship to the data pattern, and output the classified information, including the unstructured data in a table, the table being of the unstructured data separated into the individual parts, the unstructured data of the table comprising fragment passages that are one or more sentences, one or more clauses, or one or more sentences and clauses, which include a query term and surrounding text of a passage column header, and the classified information including a corresponding indication of in favor or against or not applicable to the data pattern in a classification label column header for each of the passages of the table.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
• computer readable program code configured to perform the acts of:
• querying a data source to find data that exactly or approximately matches a data pattern, wherein the data source includes medical information of a plurality of patients;
• and
• receiving the data from the data source, wherein the data includes unstructured data, assigning a classification or score to individual parts of the data based on the part's relationship to the data pattern, and outputting the classified/scored data, including the unstructured data in a table, the table being of the unstructured data separated into the individual parts, the unstructured data of the table comprising fragment passages that are one or more sentences, one or more clauses, or one or more sentences and clauses, which include a query term and surrounding text of a passage column header in the table, and the classification or score of a classification label column header in the table including a corresponding indication of positive, negative or not applicable for each of the fragment passages in the table.
