System and method for identifying and condensing similar and/or analogous information requests and/or responses
View Patent ↗A system and method for identifying and condensing similar and/or analogous information requests and/or responses comprising a computer apparatus having an intelligent global rules engine to facilitate interaction with information requests and/or responses. The computer apparatus comprises machine-readable medium, wherein data is stored, wherein the data comprises a comparison of similar and/or analogous information requests and/or responses, wherein redundancies and/or analogies in information requests and/or responses have been identified and condensed to remove the redundancies and/or analogies thereby creating at least one global rule, rule group and/or single rule. The computer apparatus further comprises both a data processing module, wherein the data processing module comprises a lexical analyzer with contextual awareness, and an intelligent global rules engine, wherein the intelligent global rules engine comprises the at least one global rule, rule group and/or single rules.
1. A system for identifying and condensing analogous information requests and user responses during setup and maintenance of a healthcare practice management system capable of directly submitting reimbursement claims to a payor comprising a computer apparatus having a processor and an intelligent global rules engine to facilitate interaction with information requests and user responses, the computer system comprising:
a machine-readable medium, wherein data is stored, wherein said data comprises a plurality of information requests and user responses;
a data processing module, wherein said data processing module comprises a lexical analyzer with contextual awareness configured to analyze information requests and user responses to identify and remove redundant or analogous information requests and user responses to generate at least one of a global rule, a rule group, and single rules: and
an intelligent and dynamic global rules engine, wherein said intelligent global rules engine comprises said at least one of said global rule, said rule group and said single rules configured to monitor new and existing information requests and user responses to further identify and remove redundant or analogous information requests and said user responses thereby updating said global rule, said rule group and said single rules: and
an established data connection to at least one payer whereby reimbursement information related to the medical treatment of at least one individual may be transmitted subsequent to said association of at least one of said rule, said rule group and said single rules with said information requests in relation to said user responses.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the lexical analyzer in the data processing module uses contextual awareness to analyze the information requests and responses to identify the redundancies or analogies.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein said redundancies and analogies identified by the lexical analyzer are condensed into at least one of said global rule, said rule group and said single rules.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein at least one of said global rule, said rule group and said single rules is then stored in said computer readable medium in said intelligent global rules engine.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein said analogies are condensed into at least one of said global rule, said rule group and said single rules by the lexical analyzer in the data processing module by:
analyzing the analogous information requests and responses.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein said analogous information requests and responses are broken up into elements.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the elements are further analyzed to identify commonalities.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein contextual awareness is used to condense the identified commonalities into the at least one of said global rule, said rule group and said single rules.
9. A method for identifying and condensing analogous information requests and user responses during setup and maintenance of a healthcare practice management system capable of directly submitting reimbursement claims to a payor via a computer apparatus having an intelligent global rules engine to facilitate interaction with information requests and user responses and connected to at least one payer whereby reimbursement information related to the medical treatment of at least one individual may be transmitted, the method comprising the steps of:
collecting analogous information requests and user responses;
comparing information requests and user responses to identify redundant analogous information requests and user responses;
establishing an intelligent and dynamic global rules engine configured to of dynamically generating rules on-demand via a data processing module by identifying and condensing analogous information requests and user responses in order to generate at least one of a global rule, a rule group, and single rules;
storing said at least one of a global rule, a rule group and single rules on a in machine readable medium;
applying at least one of said global rule, said rule group and said single rules via said intelligent and dynamic global rules engine to recognize duplicate information requests and user responses; and
eliminating said redundant or analogous information requests and user responses via said at least one of said global rule, said rule group and said single rules stored in the intelligent and dynamic global rules engine:
transmitting reimbursement information related to the medical treatment of at least one individual to at least one payer via established data connection subsequent to said association of said at least one of said rule, said rule group and said single rules with said information requests in relation to said user responses.
