Abstract: A system for indicating the quality of a medical report including a medical report system which generates a medical score based on a clinician's interpretation of medical data, a portion of the medical report including text in a natural language; and a medical report grading device which processes the portion of text in natural language and generates one or more scores of one or more categories relating to the quality of the medical report.

Abstract: A system for displaying time-based events on a time line is described. A first timeline unit (1) displays a first timeline showing a first plurality of events within a first time segment (3) bounded by a first begin time and a first end time. A second timeline unit (2) displays a second timeline showing a second plurality of events within a second time segment (4) bounded by a second begin time and a second end time, wherein the first timeline and the second timeline are displayed in the same scale. An interaction unit (5) enables a user to indicate a change to the displayed time segments (3, 4). A time segment updater (6) determines an updated first time segment (3) and an updated second time segment (4) based on the indicated change, keeping the scale of the first timeline equal to the scale of the second timeline, and keeping an offset between the first time segment (3) and the second time segment (4) constant.

Abstract: A system for verifying document content comprising a knowledge base (1) comprising a collection of knowledge-base expressions (2) and a collection of knowledge-base relations (3) between the knowledge-base expressions (2). A database (4) is provided comprising a record (5) with documents comprising information relating to an entity, the documents including free-text documents (6) and/or structured documents (7). A natural language processor (8) is provided for extracting record expressions (10) from free-text documents (6) stored in the record (5) and for determining record relations (11) between the record expressions (10) based on the free-text documents (6). An analysis engine (12) is provided for analyzing the record expressions (10) and the record relations (11) also based on the knowledge-base relations (3) to detect an irregularity in the record (5). A notifier (14) is provided for providing a notification to a user in dependence on an output of the analysis engine (12).

Abstract: A method includes retrieving information indicative of patient care received by a patient during a plurality of phases of a patient care cycle for the patient, retrieving patterns of suggested care for the different phases of the patient care cycle, correlating the information indicative of patient care with the phases based on the patterns, extracting key disease descriptors from the information based on the correlation; and generating a signal indicative of the extracted key disease descriptors.

Abstract: A system for clinical decision support comprises subsystems for identifying a plurality of patient information types used in a decision rule of a clinical decision support system; accessing at least one data repository for verifying presence of patient information elements relating to a particular patient; determining which of the patient information types used in the decision rule have corresponding patient information elements relating to the particular patient; and presenting an indication of completeness of the available information relating to the particular patient in view of the information types having corresponding patient information elements or the patient information types lacking corresponding patient information elements. The presenting may be performed by a medical imaging workstation.

Abstract: Cardiac pacing to treat ventricle dysynchrony for improved cardiac function is performed as follows. Early paced inter-ventricular asynchrony is determined during ventricular pacing. Baseline inter-ventricular asynchrony is determined without pacing. Average inter-ventricular asynchrony is calculated by averaging the early paced inter-ventricular asynchrony and the baseline inter-ventricular asynchrony. Atrio-ventricular delay and ventricular-ventricular delay are adjusted during ventricular pacing to yield the average inter-ventricular asynchrony for optimal intra-left ventricular resynchronization and maximal cardiac function. The elements above can be configured in software contained in an implantable medical device or embodied as a computer software product that includes a medium readable by a processor.
