  • Patent number: 10770176
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying relationships and correlations between community healthcare attributes includes automatically displays relationships between selected community health measures. A correlation tool automatically computes correlations between a selected main measure and each other measures in a set of community health measures for selected communities. The correlation tool automatically displays a ranked list of the other community health measures based on their correlation to the selected main measure. A relationship tool automatically computes correlations between selected measures in the set of community health measures for selected communities. The relationship tool displays a correlation graph indicating values of the selected measures for each of a selected set of communities. An adjusted correlation graph is automatically displayed to indicate adjusted values of the selected measures to accommodate a selected third measure as a control variable.

  • Patent number: 10438701
    Abstract: A system and method for scoring and comparing communities includes the development of community health measures by on combining and supplementing healthcare data and community data from numerous sources. The community health measures may be stored in a community health measures database and may be accessed by interactive tools to generate customized representations of healthcare measures for selected communities. The representations are automatically computed in response to interactive user selections. Geographic map representation, heat map representations and data tables may be automatically generated to identify correlations between health outcomes and population attributes in different communities.
