  • Publication number: 20140214452
    Abstract: A computer implemented system and method for matching drugs and diseases involves matching drugs identified in a specific patient's prescription claim records with diseases associated with diagnosis codes. A weighted relationship is generated between the matched drugs and diseases by calculating a link weight in accordance with a preprogrammed formula for each of the diagnosis codes identified that is identified as associated with the disease identified and the drug. The link weight provides a statistical match association value to each of the matched diseases identified by way of a diagnosis code and the drug identified in the prescription claim.

  • Patent number: 8301468
    Abstract: A computer implemented system and method for matching drugs and diseases and generating a weighted relationship between the matched drugs and diseases. The system stores a quantity of patient medical history billing records identifiable as patient prescription claim records and medical claim records. The system also stores a grouping of drug codes and groupings of diagnosis codes. The system is configured to match drugs identified in a specific patient's prescription claim records with diseases identified in the patient's medical claims. The system generates a weighted relationship between the matched drugs and diseases by calculating a link weight in accordance with a preprogrammed formula for each occurrence of the diagnosis codes identified in the patient's medical claims that is identified as associated with the disease identified and the drug upon which the query is being processed. The link weight provides a statistical match association value to each of the matched diseases.

  • Patent number: 7698155
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for determining a probability that a member of a health plan has a disease or condition within one or more disease categories, by using data from the member's pharmacy claims. Logistic regression models are generated for each condition category using therapeutic drug categories, provider information, and/or other variables including member demographic information.

  • Publication number: 20030167189
    Abstract: A computer implemented system and method for matching drugs and diseases and generating a weighted relationship between the matched drugs and diseases. The system stores a quantity of patient medical history billing records identifiable as patient prescription claim records and medical claim records, including provider and facility medical claims. The system also stores a grouping of drug codes and groupings of diagnosis codes. The system is configured to match drugs identified in a specific patient's prescription claim records with diseases identified in the patient's medical claims. The system generates a weighted relationship between the matched drugs and diseases by calculating a link weight in accordance with a preprogrammed formula for each of the diagnosis codes identified in the patient's medical claims that is identified as associated with the disease identified and the drug upon which the query is being processed.
