Patent number: 11869667Abstract: Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are described for identifying significant incidental findings from medical records. In one example embodiment, an example computing device receives a medical report and derives a textual component from the medical report. The computing device then identifies one or more medical findings from the textual component and determines a clinical context for each of the one or more medical findings. The computing device then identifies one or more clinical cues from the one or more medical findings and generates one or more condition signals from the one or more clinical cues. The computing device then generates a condition alert from the one or more condition signals. The condition alert is indicative of a significant incidental finding. Using various embodiments contemplated herein, significant incidental findings can be identified for follow-up by a user.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Optum, Inc.Inventors: Brian C. Potter, Mark L Morsch, Emily V. Ho

Publication number: 20220198150Abstract: Computer implemented systems and methods of processing clinical documentation for a multi-axial coding scheme include inputting clinical documentation from memory operatively coupled with a computer system, and executing a natural language processor configured to process narrative text in the clinical documentation. The processor segments the narrative text based on boundaries defined in the clinical documentation, sequences words in the narrative text based on the segmentation, and maps the sequenced words to semantic objects in an ontology database. The ontology defines classes of semantic objects and relationships between them, corresponding to the multi-axial coding scheme. The semantic objects are converted into characters and output into slots in a medical code, with the characters positioned in the slots based on the multi-axial coding scheme.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2022Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: George Karres, Destinee Tormey, Christopher Miller, Brian Potter, Mark L.

Publication number: 20220147549Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for resolving multiple magnitudes assigned to a target vector are disclosed. A target vector that includes one or more target vector dimensions is received. One of the target vector dimensions is processed to determine a total number of magnitudes assigned to the processed target vector dimension. Also, a source vector that includes one or more source vector dimensions is received. The received source vector is processed to determine a total number of features associated with the source vector. When it is detected that the total number of magnitudes assigned to the processed target vector dimension exceeds one, one of the assigned magnitudes is selected based on one of the determined features associated with the source vector.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2022Publication date: May 12, 2022Inventors: Daniel T. Heinze, Mark L. Morsch

Publication number: 20220027765Abstract: There is a need for more effectively and efficiently performing predictive data analysis to determine associations between input data objects and predictive categories This need can be addressed by, for example, solutions for performing predictive data analysis to determine associations between input data objects and predictive categories that utilize at least one of accuracy scores for predictive categories, evidentiary scores for predictive categories, and predicted certification statuses for claim data objects. In one example, a method includes: for each predictive category of one or more predictive categories associated with a claim data object, determining an accuracy score and an evidentiary score; determining a predicted certification status for the claim data object based on each accuracy score for a predictive category and each evidentiary score for a predictive category; and performing prediction-based actions based on each predicted certification status.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2021Publication date: January 27, 2022Inventors: William M.

Publication number: 20210073296Abstract: Techniques for implementing Quality Assurance of the process of coding medical documents are disclosed. An audit of a coding process for a medical document is initiated by selecting and setting audit parameters. Using the selected parameters, a sample batch of coded documents is obtained from a universe of coded documents. The sample batch of coded documents is presented to auditor(s), and the auditor(s) provide corrections, which are recorded, and a score for each correction is calculated. A sample score, based on the corrections, is calculated in a manner that tracks to subjective auditor assessments of the process quality as being acceptable, marginally acceptable, or unacceptable, and which sample score accounts for the individual auditor subjectivity and an error.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: Daniel T.

Publication number: 20210049481Abstract: There is a need for solutions for more effective and efficient predictive data analysis systems in conceptually hierarchical domains. This need can be addressed, for example, by a system configured to obtain one or more initial raw inputs; determine a partial prediction for the one or more initial raw inputs, wherein the partial prediction is associated with an initial encoding hierarchy and the initial encoding hierarchy is associated with a plurality of prediction nodes; determine, based on the partial prediction and the initial encoding hierarchy, one or more partial prediction information deficiencies for partial prediction; obtain one or more supplemental raw inputs based on the one or more partial prediction information deficiencies; and generate a conceptually hierarchical prediction based on the one or more supplemental raw inputs and the partial prediction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2019Publication date: February 18, 2021Inventors: Jason Robinson, Mariya Wahlstrom, Ellyn Oliver, Michael Pedersen, Mark Messer, Brian C.
