Patent number: 11023679Abstract: An apparatus for automatically mapping a verbatim narrative to a term in a medical terminology dictionary includes a natural language processor and a comparator. The natural language processor processes terms from the medical terminology dictionary and from a medical coding decision database to generate a processed database that also includes the original terms from the medical terminology dictionary and the medical coding decision database. The natural language processor also processes the verbatim narrative. The comparator compares the processed verbatim narrative to the terms in the processed database and determines whether the processed verbatim narrative is an exact match to a term in the processed database. The verbatim narrative is mapped to the term in the medical terminology dictionary that corresponds to the term in the processed database that is an exact match. The verbatim narratives may include adverse event narratives, concomitant medication narratives, or other types of narratives.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2017Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Medidata Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Patricia Allen, Andrew Howland, Philip Beineke, Mark Chandler, Michael Elashoff, Mladen Laudanovic, Jingshu Liu, Michael Cestone, Jenny Liu

Publication number: 20070003981Abstract: Provided are methods for the detection and diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome or ACS. The methods are based on the discovery that abnormal levels of selected analytes in sample fluid, typically blood samples, of patients who are at risk are supportive of a diagnosis of ACS. At least two new biomarkers for ACS are thus disclosed, MMP-3 and SGOT. Altogether the concentrations of twelve analytes provide a sensitive and selective picture of the patient's condition, namely, whether the patient is suffering a heart attack.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2006Publication date: January 4, 2007Inventors: Mark Chandler, Michael Spain, James Mapes, George Rodgers
