  • Patent number: 9002863
    Abstract: A method for providing a data translation may include receiving an input string comprising a free text response indicative of a physiologic condition, and applying a selected transform to the input string to transform the input string into a translated value indicative of a value associated with the physiologic condition for storage in a fact repository. The selected transform may be selected from a library of potential transforms based on results of the selected transform relative to a rational range associated with the physiologic condition. A corresponding computer program product and apparatus are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20120053954
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products are provided for monitoring quality metrics for patients in health care facilities. For example, in one embodiment, a monitoring server can monitor a set of quality metrics associated with a patient in a health care facility. During the monitoring process, the monitoring server can determine whether activities associated with the respective quality metrics have been or need to be performed, providing medical providers information in time to correct care documentation. The monitoring server can also cause display of graphics that indicate the results of such determinations.
