  • Publication number: 20150046182
    Abstract: The current document is directed to methods and automated systems that assign individual medical codes selected from one or more medical codebooks to electronic medical records. In certain implementations, the currently disclosed automated systems generate multiple streams of medical terms or medical terms and phrases from an electronic medical record as well as multiple streams of medical terms or medical terms and phrases from individual medical codes contained within a medical codebook and then use stream-comparison functionality to select those individual medical codes of the medical codebook most likely to be relevant and related to the information encoded within the electronic medical record.

  • Publication number: 20150039344
    Abstract: The current document is directed to methods and systems for automated generation of evaluation and management medical codes (“E/M codes”). In one implementation, a series of processes are applied to a medical document in order to generate annotations and concepts, extract metadata, and, using the annotations and concepts, and, in certain cases, the extracted metadata, to generate a set of feature/feature-value pairs that parametrically represent the contents of the medical document. Models for E/M codes and E/M-code components are generated to contain sets of weights, each weight corresponding to a feature for which a feature-value is automatically generated from medical documents. These weights are used as multipliers, in certain implementations, of the feature values generated for a medical document. Multiplication of feature values by corresponding weights produces terms that are used to generate scores for each of various different E/M codes.

  • Patent number: 8721472
    Abstract: An adjustable golf club incorporates instructions into the golf club, and more particularly, in connection with the club head. More specifically, encoded information is visibly provided on the club head, the encoded information relating to the performance of the club head. In addition to the encoded information, a decoder or device for interpreting the encoded performance information is also provided on the club head. The encoded information, in conjunction with the decoder, allows the golfer to easily adjust his or her club head based on playing conditions or his or her swing. Typically, the encoded information relates to a weight of the club head, and may be used to vary the weight of the club head. A method of configuring a putter-type golf club head adaptable to a plurality of configurations is described, as well as a kit for selectively configuring components of a golf club head.

  • Patent number: 8706664
    Abstract: Techniques are described for determining and using relevant information related to domains of interest. In at least some situations, the techniques include automatically analyzing documents, terms and other information related to a domain of interest in order to automatically determine information about relevant themes within the domain and/or about which documents have contents that are relevant to such themes. Such automatically determined information related to a domain may then be used in various ways, including to assist users in specifying themes of interest and/or in obtaining documents and/or document fragments with contents that are relevant to specified themes. In addition, information about how the automatically determined information is used by users may be tracked and used as feedback for learning improved determinations of relevant themes and relevant documents within the domain, such as by using automated machine learning techniques.

  • Publication number: 20140108047
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to methods and automated documentation and medical-coding systems that combine predictions of clinical decision support or multiple medical-code assignments into a final medical-code assignment, such that the combination is different for different contexts. In certain implementations, each agent receives the same set of terms and phrases extracted from an electronic medical record (“EMR”). Based on the context of the EMR, each agent extracts medical codes from one or more medical codebooks, compares the terms and phrases to the medical codes, and assigns a code to the EMR based on a confidence score. The multiple code assignments are combined to generate a final medical-code assignment based on the confidence scores, context, and each agent's historical performance within the context. The automated system stores and outputs the final medical-code assignment.

  • Publication number: 20130325769
    Abstract: Techniques are described for determining and using information related to domains of interest, such as by automatically analyzing documents and other information related to a domain in order to automatically determine relationships between particular terms within the domain. Such automatically determined information may then be used to assist users in obtaining information from the domain that is of interest (e.g., documents with contents that are relevant to user-specified terms and/or to other terms that are determined to be sufficiently related to the user-specified terms). For example, recommendations may be automatically generated for a user by using information about specified preferences or other interests of the user with respect to one or more terms and identifying other particular terms that are sufficiently probable to be of interest to that user, such as based on a generated probabilistic representation of relationships between particular terms for the domain.
