  • Publication number: 20190197428
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed herein that employ a contextually intelligent framework. In accordance with embodiments, a knowledge model having rules, axioms, and a domain ontology is evaluated to determine rules that are redundant to other rules and axioms, to determines those rules thresholds that may be refactored to generate composite rules and reduce the overall quantity of rules in the knowledge model, and to generate and add new concepts as axioms to the domain ontology as determined through refactoring. Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed herein that use the refactored and improved knowledge model to reconcile information currently stored in one system with information imported from a plurality of diverse systems, in order to generate recommendations that promote continuity of care in clinical settings.

  • Patent number: 10318635
    Abstract: Mapping of semantics in healthcare may involve accessing first transaction data of a first healthcare entity in a first database, the first transaction data corresponding to a collection of a first number of fields defined for a condition using a first semantic system to store information and calculating a first distribution of information in the first transaction data. Mapping may also involve accessing second transaction data of a second healthcare entity in a second database, the second transaction data corresponding to a second semantic system different than the first semantic system and the second database comprising a second number of fields using the second semantic system to store information, the second number of fields larger than the first number of fields and calculating a second distribution of information in the second transaction data. The distributions may then be compared and a map relating the semantic systems may be generated.

  • Patent number: 9544166
    Abstract: An Access Gateway Management System (AGMS) allows telephone operating companies to transition their existing wireline customers over to Voice over the Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology without having to invest in new workflow processes, systems, or maintenance facilities by adapting the Operational Support Systems interfaces currently employed for managing legacy circuit-switched switching systems to manage Line Access Gateways (LAGs), which are the generic line termination systems employed in VoIP infrastructure. The AGMS also configures and adapts metallic loop test systems currently deployed for the purpose of routine maintenance and troubleshooting of subscriber lines terminating directly or indirectly (through access systems) on existing switching systems to continue to provide this functionality when the lines terminate on LAGs. Synchronization of the subtended LAGs is coordinated with the legacy network by the AGMS.

  • Publication number: 20160239617
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for generating and outputting medical billing data. Data is captured by pervasive devices before, during, and after a patient encounter with a healthcare provider. Any unstructured data is transformed into usable structured data, and determinations, such as a service provided by the healthcare provider, are made based on that data as well as other stored data. Based on those determinations, billing data for billing claims related to the patient visit is generated and outputted to a payer of the claims. The billing data may include a medical code that is predicted by a billing model. Billing models may be created from data captured by the pervasive devices from patient visits and data in external data stores, such as electronic health records.

  • Patent number: 8351578
    Abstract: A wiring verification system is disclosed for testing the correct pairing of a plurality of subscriber lines between an existing line termination system and a replacement line termination system to assist in the transfer of the subscriber line terminations from the existing line termination system to the replacement system. The wiring verification system comprising a controller and two testheads, one of which places test calls from the line under test to a designated test line that is terminated by the second testhead. The electrical qualities of the wye splices between lines associated with new line termination system and those of the existing line termination system are analyzed for correctness and possible hazardous conditions. The directory number of the line under test can be verified by decoding the calling line ID. Automated test strategies provide details related to which splices require attention and suggestions for remediation.

  • Patent number: 7953210
    Abstract: A switch proxy comprising a controller, a translations database and a switching fabric are connected to a trunk group between a remote terminal and its controlling local switching system. The switch proxy monitors control and alarm signals to and from the switching system on the trunk. In the event of loss of control signals from the host switching system, the switch proxy intercepts requests for service, etc. from a calling telephone connected to the remote terminal and performs a look up in the translation database. If the call can be completed without the controlling switching system the call is looped back to the remote terminal. The translation database is maintained by a switch proxy management system that receives change orders from the local exchange carrier. The switch proxy management system forwards relevant changes to the switch proxy's translation database in the field.
