  • Patent number: 11990216
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for implement a discrepancy detection mechanism for detecting discrepancies between clinical notes and administrative records. Clinical concepts are extracted from the clinical notes and the administrative records in a patient's electronic medical records (EMRs). The extracted clinical concepts are filtered based on semantic type information to identify concepts that reference diseases or syndromes while also removing negated instances. Utilizing the positive mentions of diseases in clinical notes, the positive mentions of diseases or syndromes in the clinical notes are compared against each positive entry in the administrative records. A discrepancy summary is then generated for diseases or syndromes that failed to translate correctly from clinical notes to the administrative records in the patient's EMRs.

    Abstract: An embodiment monitors an operational state of a processor-based system and identifies a system error that satisfies a reboot condition for a reboot event. The embodiment generates debug data indicative of the operational state of the system when the system error occurred. The embodiment stores the debug data in a memory that retains data during the reboot event. The embodiment intercepts a debug data requests from an untrusted entity, thereby preventing the untrusted entity from directly accessing the debug data in the memory. The embodiment analyzes the debug data using a sensitive data detection process where the analyzing detects sensitive data in the debug data. The embodiment generates modified debug data by performing a data protection process on the debug data and then sends, as a response to the debug data requests, the modified debug data to the untrusted entity.
