Abstract

Systems and methods for generating customized annotations of a medical record are provided. The system receives a medical record and processes it using a predictive model to identify evidence of a finding. The system then determines whether to have a recall enhancement or validation of a specific finding. Recall enhancement is used to tune or develop the predictive model, while validation is used to rapidly validate the evidence. The source document is provided to the user and feedback is requested. When asking for validation, the system also highlights the evidence already identified and requests the user to indicate if the evidence is valid for a particular finding. If recall enhancement is utilized, the source document is provided and the user is asked to find evidence in the document for a particular finding. The user may then highlight the evidence that supports the finding. The user may also annotate the evidence using free form text.

Claims (41)

1. A computer-implemented method implemented by a health information system including a processor, the method for generating customized annotations of a medical record, the method comprising:

converting, by the processor, a medical record source document into a standardized formatted medical record source document by indexing, by the processor, the medical record source document;

applying, by the processor, a predictive model to the standardized formatted medical record source document;

identifying, by the processor based on the application, evidence for a medical condition finding for a patient associated with the medical record source document;

generating, by the processor, a query requesting to operate the health information system in one of two modes;

in response to identifying the evidence and operating the health information system in the one mode, (i) highlighting, by the processor, the evidence for the medical condition finding or (ii) generating, by the processor, a request requesting a user to annotate the standardized formatted medical record source document to identify further evidence for the medical condition finding; and

causing, by the processor, the highlighted evidence or the request to be displayed on a user computing device.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising receiving, by the processor via a health information exchange or a picture archiving communication system, the medical record source document as a machine readable record having one of a plurality of formats.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the two modes include a specific finding validation mode and an enhanced recall mode.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 further comprising highlighting, by the processor, the evidence for the medical condition finding in response to operating the health information system in the specific finding validation mode.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein operating in the specific finding validation mode further comprises:

generating an additional request requesting the user to input in the health information system whether the finding is valid based upon the highlighted evidence.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 further comprising generating, by the processor, the request requesting the user to annotate the standardized formatted medical record source document in response to operating the health information system in the enhanced recall mode.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 further comprising generating, by the processor, a further request requesting the user to highlight the standardized formatted medical record source document in response to operating the health information system in the enhanced recall mode.

8. A health information system for generating customized annotations for a record, the health information system comprising a processor configured to:

convert a medical record source document into a standardized formatted medical record source document by indexing, by the processor, the medical record source document;

apply a predictive model to the standardized formatted medical record source document;

identify, based on the application, evidence for a medical condition finding for a patient associated with the medical record source document;

generate a query requesting to operate the health information system in one of two modes;

in response to identifying the evidence and operating the health information system in the one mode, (i) highlight the evidence for the medical condition finding or (ii) generate a request requesting a user to annotate the standardized formatted medical record source document to identify further evidence for the medical condition finding; and

cause the highlighted evidence or the request to be displayed on a user computing device.

9. The health information system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive, via a health information exchange or a picture archiving communication system, the medical record source document as a machine readable record having one of a plurality of formats.

10. The health information system of claim 8 , wherein the two modes include a specific finding validation mode and an enhanced recall mode.

11. The health information system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to highlight the evidence for the medical condition finding in response to operating the health information system in the specific finding validation mode.

12. The health information system of claim 10 , wherein operating in the specific finding validation mode further comprises:

generating an additional request requesting the user to input in the health information system whether the finding is valid based upon the highlighted evidence.

13. The health information system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate the request requesting the user to annotate the standardized formatted medical record source document in response to operating the health information system in the enhanced recall mode.

14. The health information system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate a further request requesting the user to highlight the standardized formatted medical record source document in response to operating the health information system in the enhanced recall mode.

15. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by a processor of a health information system for generating customized annotations for a record, the computer-executable instructions cause the processor to:

convert a medical record source document into a standardized formatted medical record source document by indexing, by the processor, the medical record source document;

apply a predictive model to the standardized formatted medical record source document;

identify, based on the application, evidence for a medical condition finding for a patient associated with the medical record source document;

generate a query requesting to operate the health information system in one of two modes; and

in response to identifying the evidence and operating the health information system in the one mode, (i) highlight the evidence for the medical condition finding or (ii) generate a request requesting a user to annotate the standardized formatted medical record source document to identify further evidence for the medical condition finding; and

cause the highlighted evidence or the request to be displayed on a user computing device.

16. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the processor to receive, via a health information exchange or a picture archiving communication system, the medical record source document as a machine readable record having one of a plurality of formats.

17. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the two modes include a specific finding validation mode and an enhanced recall mode.

18. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the processor to highlight the evidence for the medical condition finding in response to operating the health information system in the specific finding validation mode.

19. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein operating in the specific finding validation mode further comprises:

generating an additional request requesting the user to input in the health information system whether the finding is valid based upon the highlighted evidence.

20. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the processor to generate the request requesting the user to annotate the standardized formatted medical record source document in response to operating the health information system in the enhanced recall mode.
