Abstract: An apparatus is provided for identifying patients of a cohort. The apparatus may include at least one memory and at least one processor configured to generate at least one user interface defining items of predefined criteria to identify a plurality of patients, among a candidate set of patients, of a cohort. The patients have at least one common characteristic associated with a designated medical condition or a designated health plan. The processor is also configured to identify the plurality of patients of the cohort in response to receiving indications of selections of one or more of the items of the predefined criteria. The processor is also configured to monitor and manage care of the identified patients of the cohort on an ongoing basis to provide interventions and track outcomes. Corresponding computer program products and methods are also provided.

Abstract: Technology is described for associating semantic meaning with data elements. The system can include a messaging module configured to receive a message having data elements. A storage module can store the data elements from the message in a structured format. A message dictionary can be configured to identify a type of the message received and to lexically identify data elements of the message using the message dictionary and the type of message. In addition, a taxonomy module can be configured to provide a semantic meaning for the data elements of the lexically identified portions of the message. Further, a data definition tag repository can store data definition tags and link the message dictionary, the taxonomy, and storage location of the data elements in the storage module. The data definition tags can enable the semantic meaning of data elements to be queried.
