Patent number: 9165116Abstract: The present invention provides a data mining framework for mining high-quality structured clinical information. The data mining framework includes a data miner that mines medical information from a computerized patient record (CPR) based on domain-specific knowledge contained in a knowledge base. The data miner includes components for extracting information from the CPR, combining all available evidence in a principled fashion over time, and drawing inferences from this combination process. The mined medical information is stored in a structured CPR which can be a data warehouse.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2014Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: CERNER INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: Christopher Jude Amies, Arun Kumar Goel, Radu Stefan Niculescu, Bharat R Rao, Sathyakama Sandilya, Thomas R Warrick

Patent number: 8214224Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for automatically ensuring adherence to clinical guidelines during the course of patient treatments. A data source contains patient records, including records for patients being treated; a guidelines knowledge base contains clinical guidelines; and a quality adherence engine is configured to monitor adherence with the clinical guidelines for patients being treated. At least some of the patient records may include information obtained from mining unstructured patient data. The system includes an output component for outputting quality adherence information. The outputted quality adherence information may include reminders, including reminders to take clinical actions in accordance with the clinical guidelines. The outputted quality adherence information may also include warnings that the clinical guidelines have not been observed.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2002Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignees: Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc., Siemens CorporationInventors: R. Bharat Rao, Sathyakama Sandilya, Harm J. Scherpbier, Thomas R. Warrick

Patent number: 7917377Abstract: A technique is provided for automatically generating performance measurement information. At least some of the obtained performance measurement information may be derived from unstructured data sources, such as free text physician notes, medical images, and waveforms. The performance measurement may be sent to a health care accreditation organization. The health care accreditation organization can use the performance measurement to evaluate a health care provider for its quality of patient care. Alternatively, performance measurement information can be provided directly to consumers.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2002Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignees: Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc., Siemens CorporationInventors: R. Bharat Rao, Sathyakama Sandilya, Radu Stefan Niculescu, Harm J. Scherpbier, Thomas R. Warrick
