The apparatus includes at least one memory and at least one processor configured to receive queries from devices of health care systems. The queries include data requesting information associated with patients that corresponds to specified items of information indicated in the queries. The processor is further configured to analyze stored patient information to determine items of the patient information that correspond to the specified items of the information. The processor is further configured to detect a subset of the items of the patient information related to health data that is determined to correspond to a respective patient(s) based on a determined value that equals or exceeds a predetermined threshold. Corresponding computer program products and methods are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20140278525
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are therefore provided in order to provide improved searching of medical records. In this regard, the method, apparatus, and computer program product may provide a network infrastructure that gathers search analytics for medical records searches performed across a plurality of record keepers. Embodiments may identify correlations between querying record keepers and record keepers that provide records that are properly responsive to queries from the querying record keeper. For example, embodiments may derive search analytics related to which record keepers typically provide correct record results in response to a query from a particular record keeper, and these identified record keepers may be specifically queried in response to future requests received from the querying record keeper.
