Patents by Inventor Daniel T. Heinze

Daniel T. Heinze has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20220147549
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20210073296
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20210042468
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10061764
    Abstract: A method for building a tree of parse items involves receiving a plurality of parse items stored in an ordered data structure, processing semantic attributes associated with the plurality of parse items, generating a merged parse item from at least two parse items of the plurality of parse items, and forming a portion of a tree data structure such that the merged parse item is a parent of the at least two parse items.
