System and method for providing an on-demand real-time patient-specific data analysis computing platform
A computing platform configured to receive and process an on-demand real-time patient-specific data analysis order is provided. The computing platform can receive an order, determine the viability of the order, and then perform the desired analysis based on parameters provided within the order. As part of the analysis, the computing platform can mine one or more data sources to collect data relevant to the ordered diagnostic. Once the data is collected, the computing platform can analyze the data according to one or more pre-programmed algorithms. The selection of which algorithms to apply to the data set can be determined by the type of on-demand real-time patient-specific data analysis ordered. The on-demand real-time patient-specific data analysis in some examples can be ordered using an external ordering user interface.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the requested analysis comprises an eligibility analysis that assesses a user's eligibility for various programs, and wherein the result of performing the requested analysis comprises a respective indication of eligibility or applicability for each of the various programs.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the requested analysis comprises a risk analysis that assesses categories of care, or cost burdens, for a care model or a payment model.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request includes inclusion criteria that specifies specific sets of data stored on a data lake that are to be included in the requested analysis.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request includes exclusion criteria that specifies specific sets of data stored on a data lake that are to be excluded from the analysis.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the patient-specific data:
obtaining one or more data items that are externally stored at an external data source when the request is received.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data analysis system is exposed as a web service.
14. The method of claim 1 , comprising, after receiving the request, transmitting a secure socket layer (SSL) certificate to an order processing architecture.

16. The method of claim 1 , comprises receiving a data including a Boolean flag that indicates that sufficient data exists.
17. A system comprising:
one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by a computing platform, a request to perform a particular analysis of real-time, patient-specific medical data for a particular patient;
