Publication number: 20220147549Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for resolving multiple magnitudes assigned to a target vector are disclosed. A target vector that includes one or more target vector dimensions is received. One of the target vector dimensions is processed to determine a total number of magnitudes assigned to the processed target vector dimension. Also, a source vector that includes one or more source vector dimensions is received. The received source vector is processed to determine a total number of features associated with the source vector. When it is detected that the total number of magnitudes assigned to the processed target vector dimension exceeds one, one of the assigned magnitudes is selected based on one of the determined features associated with the source vector.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2022Publication date: May 12, 2022Inventors: Daniel T. Heinze, Mark L. Morsch

Publication number: 20210073296Abstract: Techniques for implementing Quality Assurance of the process of coding medical documents are disclosed. An audit of a coding process for a medical document is initiated by selecting and setting audit parameters. Using the selected parameters, a sample batch of coded documents is obtained from a universe of coded documents. The sample batch of coded documents is presented to auditor(s), and the auditor(s) provide corrections, which are recorded, and a score for each correction is calculated. A sample score, based on the corrections, is calculated in a manner that tracks to subjective auditor assessments of the process quality as being acceptable, marginally acceptable, or unacceptable, and which sample score accounts for the individual auditor subjectivity and an error.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: Daniel T. Heinze, Peter Feller, Mark L. Morsch

Publication number: 20210042468Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for implementing a mere-parser are disclosed. Text data is processed to generate one or more parse items. A boundary based attribute associated with one of the parse items is identified, and the identified mere attribute is associated with one or more of the remaining parse items that is not blocked from associated with the boundary based attribute.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2020Publication date: February 11, 2021Inventors: Daniel T. Heinze, Mark L. Morsch
