Abstract: Systems and methods that facilitate extraction and analysis of patient encounters from one or more healthcare related information systems are provided. In an aspect, a system includes a reception component configured to receive information from a plurality of sources regarding courses of care of a plurality of patients, including information identifying activities associated with the courses of care, timing of the activities, resources associated with the activities, and caregiver personal associated with the activities. The system further includes an indexing component configured to generate an index that relates aspects of the information, a filter component configured to employ the index to identify a subset of the information related to a subset of the courses of care for patients associated with a similar medical condition, and an analysis component configured to compare aspects of the subset of the information to identify variance in the subset of the courses of care.

Abstract: A system and method for the analysis of one or more patient encounters from one or more healthcare related information systems of a healthcare organization are disclosed. The system and method include a data processing system, which provides a graphical user interface which accepts a query regarding the patient encounters, which receives data in response to the query from the one or more healthcare related information systems about a plurality of pre-selected objects concerning the one or more patient encounters, and which arranges the data according to a data model which sets relations between the pre-selected objects. The system and method also employ the relations between the pre-selected objects to provide a report to the accepted query, and output the report.
