Abstract: A medical classification code modeling system and method that generates visual maps in response to user queries, where the visual maps represent combinations of modifiers of an interface terminology that, taken together, map to medical classification code elements. The system and method may present multiple visual maps on the same display to permit visual analysis of multiple mapping revisions or versions. The system and method further may integrate into an electronic health record such that the user's ultimate selection of a mapping results in the corresponding medical classification code being inserted into the record of a patient at an appropriate location, such as on the patient's problem list.

Abstract: A method for implementing an interface terminology is described, the interface terminology comprising concepts and descriptions, a description being an alternative way to express a concept. The interface terminology also may include a plurality of domains, wherein each concept is unique within a domain. The method may include the steps of: storing a plurality of concepts in a database; storing a plurality of descriptions in a database; linking each description to a respective concept; storing an external code set in a database, the external code set comprising a plurality of external codes; and mapping an external code to a concept. The steps may occur via database table mapping. The method also may include deploying a front-end file, the front-end file comprises a link between the descriptions and the external code set.

Abstract: A system and method for including a medical classification code in a computer application such as an electronic health record includes a web service configured to render as an interactive object in a portion of an application user interface. In response to a query, the web service returns an output including data, user interface components, and behavioral logic in order to update an interactive object.

Abstract: A system and process for tagging electronic documents or other electronic content with concepts mentioned, contained, or otherwise described in that content. Once tagged, the content may be searchable, indexable, and retrievable in order to provide that content to an end user or another recipient. The system may be configured to handle a considerable number of asset files and a large number of users, workflows, and access applications simultaneously. The system may auto-tag the content and also may include a user interface for confirming and updating those tags and for manually creating new or additional tags. Content may include documents such as medical documents relating to procedures, diagnoses, medications or other domains. Alternatively, the content may include information about various care providers, in order to allow a user to locate a physician meeting one or more desired criteria.

Abstract: A system and method for searching and presenting data may include receiving a search request, storing data in an in memory database, accessing that data by one or more 64 bit processors, determining exact or approximate matches among the data to the search request, building a machine-readable data file including the search results, and serving the data file to a user's machine, where it is visible through a portal interface, which may be local or remotely served to the user's machine. The system may employ 64 bit technology in order to access and serve significant amounts of information, including mappings between code set and other data that may include mappings to one or more code sets. The system also may employ raw TCP/IP sockets to reduce latency and increase search speed.

Abstract: A system and method for keeping, organizing and managing electronic records, comprising generating a first instance of data objects comprising data elements during a first encounter, the elements comprising a first instance identifier and temporal identifiers; linking a data object to a summarization reference with a pointer; creating an additional instance of data objects also comprising data elements comprising an additional instance identifier and temporal identifiers during a later encounter; and providing continuity for the first instance data objects over time. Continuity may be provided by tracking a relationship between the first instance data object and an additional instance data object and repointing the pointer to point between the summarization reference and the additional instance data object. The additional instance data object may be a revision of the first instance data object, and tracking may occur by back-linking the revision to the first instance data object.

Abstract: A method for managing a back-end information storage infrastructure and a flexible development environment for data storage using a computer system. The method includes managing system resources including a relational database. Meta data models are created to model processes and to define meta data elements and their relationships by using trees and graphs. The method manages access to the data by authenticating users through several levels of authentication describing user rights, while providing management of multi-user access and concurrency. The method includes running the processes that generate instance data, storing the instance data following the meta data model, and transforming the instance data into physical views.
