Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for data analytics. An information ecosystem comprises a plurality of participants and a plurality of data sets associated with the participants. An event initiates performance of a computation over different obfuscated data sets to determine an obfuscated computational result. An integrity value pertaining to constituent data of the different obfuscated data sets and, correspondingly, an integrity value pertaining to the computational result itself, is quantified by checking if the earlier offered data set or any constituents thereof are consistent with one or more aspects of later retrieved data. Certain variations of methods, systems and computer program products are used for verifying data accuracy in privacy-preserving computations that are performed in a health ecosystem where the data sets pertain to health information associated with the participants.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: In the clinical pathway management device, if a request for change that requires the change of the content of a clinical pathway is received, with reference to schedule data, it is determined whether or not there is an overlap between hospital resources assigned to a treatment included in a clinical pathway as a target of change and hospital resources assigned to a treatment included in other clinical pathways different from the clinical pathway as a target of change in a case where the clinical pathway is changed according to the request for change. In a case where there is no overlap, the clinical pathway is changed according to the request for change. In a case where there is an overlap because of the change of at least either the clinical pathway as a target of change or other clinical pathways described above, plural kinds of plans of change for avoiding the overlap are generated.
