Abstract: Computerized systems and methods facilitate searches by identifying instances in which search input is an ambiguous query and resolving the ambiguous query. The search system identifies ambiguous queries by querying a common data store prior to querying a patient database. More particularly, when the search system receives search input entered into a search tool, the search system queries the common name data store before querying the patient database to determine if the search input matches a common name and is an ambiguous query. If so, the search system may provide a notification to the user to indicate the search input is an ambiguous query with a common name and prompt the user to enter additional search criteria. In some instances, the search system may prevent a search from being performed on the patient database if the search input matches a common name until additional search criteria is entered.

Abstract: Computerized systems and methods facilitate patient searches by providing a search quality indicator for presentation to a user entering a patient search input to indicate to the user the likelihood the search input will return search results that will allow the user to identify a search result corresponding with a desired patient. When a user enters search input, a search quality score is generated. The search quality score may be determined based on the amount of search input provided and/or the type of search criteria provided. A search quality indicator is presented to the user based on the search quality score.

Abstract: Computerized systems and methods facilitate patient searches by identifying instances in which search input includes a common name that may return a large number of search results. A common name data store is generated that includes common names identified in a patient database. When a user enters search input into a patient search tool, the common name data store is queried to determine if the search input matches a common name. If so, a notification may be provided to the user to indicate the search input matches a common name. In some instances, a search may not be allowed on the patient database if the search input matches a common name.
