Patent number: 11182721Abstract: An approach is provided in which an information handling system trains on a set of historical data that includes a set of first infractions caused by a set of first businesses and a set of fines imposed on the set of first businesses based on the set of first infractions. The trained information handling system then performs a risk assessment of a second business that includes predicting a set of possible infractions of the second business based on a set of characteristics of the second business. Then, the information handling system predicts a set of possible fines corresponding to the set of possible infractions based on the historical data. In turn, the information handling system generates a risk report that includes the set of possible infractions and the corresponding set of possible fines.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2018Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Cindy Harro, Mark E.

Publication number: 20210358584Abstract: A system and method of visually displaying healthcare protocols to a user receives from the user, via an electronic communications network, search term(s) associated with a health-related condition. A corpus of document(s) stored in an electronic format is identified with a computer and, based on the search term(s), at least one of the document(s) is analyzed with the computer for a treatment protocol associated with the health-related condition. First content for presentation to the user is determined with the computer, the first content including at least a portion of the treatment protocol associated with the health-related condition. A risk value indicative of risk(s) associated with the first content is determined.
