Abstract

Disclosed aspects relate to generating rationales for treatment options. A set of preference scores that indicates a first preference score for a first treatment option of a set of treatment options may be received. A rank-order that indicates a first ranking for the first treatment option may be received. The set of preference scores may be analyzed with respect to the rank-order to determine a relationship between the first preference score and the first ranking for the first treatment option. Based on the relationship between the first preference score and the first ranking, a set of rationale data for the first treatment option may be generated with respect to the first rank. Based on a user profile for a user, the set of rationale data may be configured for the user. The set of rationale data which is configured for the user may be provided.

Claims (10)

1. A computer-implemented method for automatically generating rationales for a set of treatment options, the method comprising:

receiving, with respect to the set of treatment options, a set of preference scores that indicates a first preference score for a first treatment option of the set of treatment options, wherein receiving the set of preference scores includes using a treatment option management engine to compute the set of preference scores for the set of treatment options based on a historical archive of medical records;

receiving, with respect to the set of treatment options, a rank-order that indicates a score hierarchy of treatment options containing a first ranking for the first treatment option of the set of treatment options;

detecting a set of attributes to determine the relationship between the first preference score and the first ranking for the first treatment option, wherein the set of attributes define a merit feature of the set of treatment options, and wherein the merit feature comprises any one or more of a collection of traits, properties, qualities, characteristics, or features of the set of treatment options that contribute to a determination of the rank-order for the set of treatment options;

detecting a set of exclusion factors to determine the relationship between the first preference score and the first ranking for the first treatment option, wherein the set of exclusion factors define a demerit feature of the set of treatment options, and wherein the demerit feature comprises any one or more of a collection of traits, properties, qualities, characteristics, or features of the set of treatment options that contribute to a determination of the rank-order for the set of treatment options;

computing a correlation score based on analyzing the first preference score and the first ranking, wherein the set of preference scores are expressed as integer values between 0 and 10;

comparing the correlation score, between the first preference score and the first ranking, to a designated similarity threshold;

aggregating one or more subsets of the set of attributes and one or more subsets of the set of exclusion factors to generate a set of rationale data for the first treatment option with respect to the first ranking, based on the relationship between the first preference score and the first ranking;

configuring, based on a user profile for a user, the set of rationale data for the user; and

providing the set of rationale data which is configured for the user.
