Patent number: 11922189Abstract: A pathway identification system includes processor and memory hardware. The memory hardware stores a pathway database including pathways corresponding to at least one pathway parameter, a framework database including a set of framework transformation models, and instructions. The instructions include, in response to receiving a first pathway parameter corresponding to a user, identifying a subset of pathways of the pathways corresponding to the first pathway parameter. The instructions include obtaining a first set of framework transformation models from the framework database, determining a pathway value for each pathway of the subset of pathways using the first set of framework transformation models, and selecting at least one pathway of the subset of pathways based on the corresponding pathway value. The instructions include transmitting information encoding the at least one pathway to the operator device and transforming a user interface of the operator device to display the at least one pathway.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Evicore Healthcare MSI, LLCInventors: Robinson Ortiz, Colleen H.
