Abstract
The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for ranking healthcare professionals, including: receiving healthcare information submitted by a user; launching search delegators to search respective channels of social media based on the healthcare information; receiving meta search records from the search delegators; scoring the meta search records based on the healthcare information as well as the channel of social media where the meta search record was found; filtering the meta search records based on the corresponding scores; and providing the filtered meta search records to the user.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method for ranking healthcare professionals, comprising:
- receiving, by a search engine, healthcare information submitted by a user;
- launching, by the search engine, search delegators to search respective channels of social media based on the healthcare information;
- receiving, by the search engine, meta search records from the search delegators;
- scoring, by the search engine, the meta search records based on the healthcare information as well as the channel of social media where the meta search record was found by ranking the meta search records according to (i) a match index indicating a degree of relatedness between each search record and the submitted healthcare information, and (ii) an authoritative index indicating an authority level of the channel of social media where the particular search record was found by the corresponding search delegator;
- and
- filtering, by the search engine, the meta search records based on the corresponding scores such that the filtered meta search records are automatically provided to the user based on the corresponding scores.
A computer system, comprising at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to perform the operations of:
- receiving healthcare information submitted by a user;
- launching search delegators to search respective channels of social media in response to the healthcare information;
- receiving meta search records from the search delegators;
- scoring the meta search records based on the healthcare information as well as the channel of social media where the meta search record was found by ranking the meta search records according to (i) a match index indicating a degree of relatedness between each search record and the submitted healthcare information, and (ii) an authoritative index indicating an authority level of the channel of social media where the particular search record was found by the corresponding search delegator;
- and
- filtering the meta search records based on the corresponding scores such that the filtered meta search records are automatically provided to the user based on the corresponding scores.
A computer-readable medium comprising software instructions that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform the operations of:
- receiving healthcare information submitted by a user;
- launching search delegators to search respective channels of social media in response to the healthcare information;
- receiving meta search records from the search delegators;
- scoring the meta search records based on the healthcare information as well as the channel of social media where the meta search record was found by ranking the meta search records according to (i) a match index indicating a degree of relatedness between each search record and the submitted healthcare information, and (ii) an authoritative index indicating an authority level of the channel of social media where the particular search record was found by the corresponding search delegator;
- and
- filtering the meta search records based on the corresponding scores such that the filtered meta search records are automatically provided to the user based on the corresponding scores.
