  • Techniques to compute attribute relationships utilizing a leveling operation in a computing environment
    Patent number: 9529649
    Abstract: Various embodiments include a system having interfaces, storage devices, memory, and processing circuitry. The system may be coupled with one or more storage devices and may receive episode information for a patient from a storage device via one or more wired or wireless links, the episode information includes a plurality of episodes associated with the patient, each of the plurality of episodes is a specific instance of a medical condition. The system may generate a candidate episode pairs list comprising a plurality of candidate episode pairs. Embodiments may also include the system generating a transition list comprising episode pairs from the plurality of candidate episode pairs in the candidate episode pairs list and determining attribute relationships between the plurality of episodes for the patient based on episode pairs in the transition list, the attribute relationships used to attribute items between the plurality of episodes.
