  • Patent number: 11403330
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating customized annotations of a medical record are provided. The system receives a medical record and processes it using a predictive model to identify evidence of a finding. The system then determines whether to have a recall enhancement or validation of a specific finding. Recall enhancement is used to tune or develop the predictive model, while validation is used to rapidly validate the evidence. The source document is provided to the user and feedback is requested. When asking for validation, the system also highlights the evidence already identified and requests the user to indicate if the evidence is valid for a particular finding. If recall enhancement is utilized, the source document is provided and the user is asked to find evidence in the document for a particular finding. The user may then highlight the evidence that supports the finding. The user may also annotate the evidence using free form text.

  • Patent number: 11379793
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing implants for surgical procedures. In some implementations, a model that has been trained using data indicating characteristics of other patients and items used in surgeries for the other patients is obtained. Using the model and patient characteristics for a patient, such as the height and weight of the patient, the items needed for a surgery for a particular patient can be identified. For example, the likelihoods that different sizes of an implant component will be needed can be identified and used to determine which sizes of components should be provided at a medical facility and in the operating room for the patient's surgery.

  • Patent number: 11276484
    Abstract: Clinical activity network applications are described. Some embodiments provide an Operational Intelligence Platform (“OIP”) that is configured to generate a clinical activity network that uniformly represents actions and data updates occurring in a source healthcare system. Each clinical activity instance associates an action (or activity) with a context, a time, a user, and a patient or other subject. By analyzing collections of clinical activity instances, applications can identify patterns, processes, and relationships within the healthcare setting that would not necessarily be detectable when analyzing data from a single source, such as the source customer database.

  • Patent number: 11256876
    Abstract: By extracting clinical data of any format from respective different sources, a data repository normalized to a generic format is created. A medical domain specific language may be used to interact with the data repository for identifying cohorts and gaps in care for the respective cohorts. Any rules for finding gaps in care are converted into the medical domain specific language for determining gaps. This standardization in both the data repository and rule application may allow for a true cost and time to value solution accessible to many different medical practices.
