  • Patent number: 11869667
    Abstract: Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are described for identifying significant incidental findings from medical records. In one example embodiment, an example computing device receives a medical report and derives a textual component from the medical report. The computing device then identifies one or more medical findings from the textual component and determines a clinical context for each of the one or more medical findings. The computing device then identifies one or more clinical cues from the one or more medical findings and generates one or more condition signals from the one or more clinical cues. The computing device then generates a condition alert from the one or more condition signals. The condition alert is indicative of a significant incidental finding. Using various embodiments contemplated herein, significant incidental findings can be identified for follow-up by a user.

  • Publication number: 20220027765
    Abstract: There is a need for more effectively and efficiently performing predictive data analysis to determine associations between input data objects and predictive categories This need can be addressed by, for example, solutions for performing predictive data analysis to determine associations between input data objects and predictive categories that utilize at least one of accuracy scores for predictive categories, evidentiary scores for predictive categories, and predicted certification statuses for claim data objects. In one example, a method includes: for each predictive category of one or more predictive categories associated with a claim data object, determining an accuracy score and an evidentiary score; determining a predicted certification status for the claim data object based on each accuracy score for a predictive category and each evidentiary score for a predictive category; and performing prediction-based actions based on each predicted certification status.

  • Publication number: 20210049481
    Abstract: There is a need for solutions for more effective and efficient predictive data analysis systems in conceptually hierarchical domains. This need can be addressed, for example, by a system configured to obtain one or more initial raw inputs; determine a partial prediction for the one or more initial raw inputs, wherein the partial prediction is associated with an initial encoding hierarchy and the initial encoding hierarchy is associated with a plurality of prediction nodes; determine, based on the partial prediction and the initial encoding hierarchy, one or more partial prediction information deficiencies for partial prediction; obtain one or more supplemental raw inputs based on the one or more partial prediction information deficiencies; and generate a conceptually hierarchical prediction based on the one or more supplemental raw inputs and the partial prediction.
