Abstract: The problem with healthcare information today is that all of the information used to track a patient's entire encounter is not only stored in disparate systems or databases, but there are individual records or forms that are just stored as paper or images that need to be included as part of the encounter's “total picture.” The search tool links all of these disparate data sets and also converts the paper documents into data text and allows the user to search across all of the information that makes up an episode of care. Users have the ability to query large amounts of multiple data sources into a consolidated view of actionable information with immediate results. This information reduces time and increases the consistency of information for the end user. This can be used on a pre or post pay basis by either the payers or providers, clinical research entities and legal firms.
