  • Searching and detecting interpretable changes within a hierarchical healthcare data structure in a systematic automated manner
    Patent number: 11250948
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, systems, and computer readable media are provided for identifying and optimizing performance drivers of a healthcare related system. Healthcare related data may be analyzed to produce performance information pertaining to performance indicators for performance drivers of the healthcare related system. From the performance information, changes in the sets of performance indicators over time for the performance drivers may be determined and performance drivers with determined changes satisfying a threshold may be identified. An impact of the determined changes in the performance indicators to the identified performance drivers and contributions to the determined impact from one or more factors may be identified. Factors of the identified performance drivers with opposing utilization trends may be identified and an impact of the identified factors on the performance drivers may be determined.
