  • Publication number: 20220375556
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for medical billing includes providing a list of medical billing codes comprising standardized statistical codes, reading physician notes pertaining to a physician-patient meeting, executing a tokenization process on the physician notes, thereby producing a plurality of tokens from the physician notes, executing a natural language processing transformer comprising a dense, deep neural network trained on a medical language corpus, wherein the transformer is configured for reading and processing the plurality of tokens, and producing a plurality of output items from the plurality of tokens, wherein each output item comprises a clinical statement, for each of the plurality of output items, finding a matching medical billing code from the list of medical billing codes, thereby producing a plurality of medical billing codes, and storing said medical billing codes in an electronic health record in association with the physician notes.

  • Patent number: 8171100
    Abstract: Described are methods and apparatus for reducing latency of read and write requests for a set of storage system sites having a shared data set. An owner site may directly write to the shared data set and contains current data regarding the shared data set. The remote sites may experience substantial latency when accessing the shared data set stored at the owner site. Synchronizing and caching methods may reduce overall read latency experienced at remote sites by periodically transmitting images of the shared data set to the remote sites. Also, a migration method may be used to change ownership of the shared data set from a current owner site (that may be receiving a relatively low number of read/write requests) to a new owner site (that may be receiving a relatively high number of read/write requests) to reduce the overall read and write latency experienced in the sites.
