Abstract: In a method, a user at a client device may be provided with a user interface having user interactive controls, including a control to enable selection from among a plurality of disease groups. Each disease group may correspond to a respective set of two or more individual disease codes. A user selection of a disease group of interest may be detected. The set of individual disease codes corresponding to the disease group of interest may be used to identify a set of encounters associated with a patient cohort. The user may be provided with an indication of a number of unique patients in the patient cohort, a number of patients in the cohort having particular characteristic(s), a total number of encounters in the set of encounters associated with the cohort, and/or a number of encounters, in the set of encounters associated with the cohort, having particular encounter characteristic(s).

Abstract: A method for detecting temporal events includes accessing a non-relational database storing patient encounter information for a plurality of encounters and patients. The stored encounter information, and rules defining a patient condition, are used to generate an input data file having a plurality of patient entries. The rules define a temporal window size and include rules for determining whether the patient condition is expressed within any given instance of the temporal window. Each patient entry includes, for each encounter associated with the patient, an encounter identifier, a temporal indicator, and one or more attribute values. The input data file is processed at least by identifying instances of the temporal window, processing portions of the patient entries that correspond to encounters that occurred within the window instances to determine whether the rule(s) is/are satisfied, and adding to an output data file an indication of whether the rule(s) was/were satisfied.

Abstract: A user interface is provided that requests clinical note data from a healthcare provider as a patient is being seen by the healthcare provider. The clinical note data requested includes data needed to populate one or more variables of one or more national registries and data needed to populate a clinical note medical record of an existing electronic medical records system. The clinical note data entered by the healthcare provider for the patient is received from the user interface. Automatically and at substantially the same time, the entered clinical note data needed to populate a clinical note medical record of an existing EMR system for the patient is stored in the existing EMR system, and the entered clinical note data needed to populate one or more variables for the patient for the one or more national registries is stored in a database.
