Abstract: A web-based platform for guiding a user's encounter with a patient and for generating a medical record of the encounter. The web-based platform comprises a processor in communication with an output display device and an input user interface, a knowledge base. The processor outputs information to the output display device, accesses the knowledge base, and receives information from the input user interface. The output display device requests patient information in response to presented successive prompts for patient medical information. The prompts are responsive to the knowledge base and to prior responses to prior prompts as entered through the input user interface. The output display device presents a patient medical condition report based on responses to requests and prompts. ICD codes are included within the knowledge base and included within the patient medical condition report. The codes are determined, as applicable, as each prompt and response is entered.

Abstract: A system for evaluating information. The system defines a set of properties and one or more values for each property and then assigns property-value combinations to items of information and to profiles. Information is then evaluated by determining how the property-value combinations assigned to the items of information match those assigned to a profile. Assignments of property-value combinations have ratings and validities associated with them. In assignments to information items, the rating represents the relevance of the information item to the property-value pair; in assignments to profiles, it represents the relevance of the property-value pair to the profile. The validity for an assignment indicates a judgment concerning the strength of the assignment. The system further defines relationships between property-value combinations. When a property-value combination in a relationship is assigned, so are the related property-value combinations.
