Abstract: A method for generating a user interface for analyzing a patient-specific electronic medical or health record that includes a problem list includes the steps of grouping related potential problems into problem list categories, grouping a subset of the problems into clusters within the categories, mapping, using a computer, entries in the problem list with a respective description in an interface terminology, associating one or more of other medical data, e.g., medication, lab results, procedures, imaging results, past medical history or surgeries, notes, vital signs, or allergy data in the record with at least one problem, receiving a request corresponding to a problem or problem list category or to other medical data, identifying non-problem data in the record grouped in a cluster with the requested data, and modifying a user interface to display the identified data separate from other similar medical data included in the electronic medical or health record.

Abstract: A system and method for problem list categorization and management in an electronic health or medical record includes matching each entry in the list with an interface terminology concept, grouping related concepts together into one or more categories, and grouping entries into one or more nested sets of problems. Groupings are accomplished by analyzing semantic distances between concept elements to determine which entries are duplicates according to the interface terminology and which are different but related to sufficiently similar concepts. Certain elements will be sufficiently related that they are nested or clustered within a single problem list element. Others are different enough to merit different elements but classification within a common category of problems.

Abstract: A method for generating orders for a care plan through a problem list in an electronic medical record or an electronic health record includes the steps of mapping, using a computer, entries in a problem list with a respective concept in an interface terminology, analyzing, by a computer, each mapped entry to determine related problem list entries, grouping related entries into one or more categories, and aggregating a plurality of care plans relevant to one of the categories. Care plans may include medications and labs, and each care plan entry also may be coded with an external terminology, such as RxNorm or LOINC.
