  • Patent number: 11133091
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for processing content concerning a plurality of patients using a CAC system to define one or more billing codes concerning a social habit status of one or more patients of the plurality of patients. The one or more billing codes concerning the social habit status of the one or more patients are provided to a user for review. Feedback is received from the user concerning the accuracy of the one or more billing codes.

  • Patent number: 10290370
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to extracting specified data items from narrative text. In one scenario, a computer system accesses narrative textual information which includes data items that are to be identified and extracted. The computer system identifies specified data items in the narrative textual information that are to be extracted from the narrative textual information. The computer system then filters the identified data items to remove false positive identifications. The false positive filtering includes classifying the identified data items as specified data items, so that classified data items are identified as true positive items that are to be extracted from the narrative textual information. The computer system further extracts, from the narrative textual information, those filtered data items that were classified as being true positive items.
