Contextual assessment of current conditions
In some examples, systems, methods, and devices are described that generate contextual suggestions for patients. Generation of the contextual suggestions is triggered by certain events performed by a medical professional with respect to a patient (e.g., updating a patient record). The contextual suggestions are related to addressing health conditions of the patient and represent tasks or considerations which the medical professional should be made aware. The contextual suggestions are generated in a way that is considerate of patient context, medical professional context, and contexts of similar patients. The contextual suggestions can be presented to the medical professional for selection and execution.
1. A system comprising:
a communication engine that:
facilitates one or more user interfaces provided via one or more user devices; and
processes input received via at least one user interface of the one or more user interfaces, the input corresponding to medical documentation relating to an interaction of a medical professional with a patient, where the medical documentation is gathered at least in part by permitting the medical professional to use the user interface to input at least part of the medical documentation at a documentation area;
a process engine that:
accesses first data corresponding to the medical documentation, the first data comprising unstructured data;
processes the first data using a natural language processing technique to extract a set of one or more medical process indicators from the first data, the set of one or more medical process indicators indicative of one or more process actions that are performable with respect to patients, where the processing comprises analyzing the medical documentation at least partially by parsing subjective data corresponding to the unstructured data to identify one or more of meaning, tone, humor, and/or sarcasm in the subjective data;
compute a score for each medical process indicator of the set of one or more medical process indicators, select one or more knowledge artifacts based on the set of one or more medical process indicators, and determine, based on the one or more knowledge artifacts and the scores for the medical process indicators of the set of one or more medical process indicators, a particular process action to be performed with respect to the patient, the particular process action being described in the first data in order to respond to a current condition of the patient; and
adds an indicator of the particular process action to a digital repository storing indicia of process actions; and
the communication engine causing provisioning of a notification for presentation via at least one user device of the one or more user devices indicating the particular process action performable with respect to the patient.

6. A method comprising:
facilitating one or more user interfaces provided via one or more user devices;
processing input received via at least one user interface of the one or more user interfaces, the input corresponding to medical documentation relating to an interaction of a medical professional with patient, where the medical documentation is gathered at least in part by permitting the medical professional to use the user interface to input at least part of the medical documentation at a documentation area;
accessing first data corresponding to the medical documentation, the first data comprising unstructured data;
processing the first data using a natural language processing technique to extract a set of one or more medical process indicators from the first data, the set of one or more medical process indicators indicative of one or more process actions that are performable with respect to patients, where the processing comprises analyzing the medical documentation at least partially by parsing subjective data corresponding to the unstructured data to identify one or more of meaning, tone, humor, and/or sarcasm in the subjective data;
computing a score for each medical process indicator of the set of one or more medical process indicators, select one or more knowledge artifacts based on the set of one or more medical process indicators, and determining, based on the one or more knowledge artifacts and the scores for the medical process indicators of the set of one or more medical process indicators, a particular process action to be performed with respect to the patient, the particular process action being described in the first data in order to respond to a current condition of the patient;
adding an indicator of the particular process action to a digital repository storing indicia of process actions; and
causing provisioning of a notification for presentation via at least one user device of the one or more user devices indicating the particular process action performable with respect to the patient.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the at least one user interface corresponds to a documentation user interface that comprises a documentation area and an order area.
8. The method of claim 7 , where:
the documentation area defines an area configured for input of note entries that describe one or more interactions comprising the interaction of the medical professional with the patient, and
the order area defines an area configured for presenting notifications about future orders that are automatically and contemporaneously suggested based on the note entries.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
accessing an output from a computerized treatment machine, the output being associated with treatment with respect to the patient and being in an unstructured format;
where the unstructured data corresponds to the medical documentation input via the documentation user interface and the output from the computerized treatment machine.
10. The method of claim 9 , where the determining the particular process action is determined based on the output from the computerized treatment machine.
11. One or more non-transitory, computer-readable storage devices for storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more computer systems, configure the one or more computer systems to perform operations comprising:
facilitating one or more user interfaces provided via one or more user devices;
processing input received via at least one user interface of the one or more user interfaces, the input corresponding to medical documentation relating to an interaction of a medical professional with patient, where the medical documentation is gathered at least in part by permitting the medical professional to use the user interface to input at least part of the medical documentation at a documentation area;
accessing first data corresponding to the medical documentation, the first data comprising unstructured data;
processing the first data using a natural language processing technique to extract a set of one or more medical process indicators from the first data, the set of one or more medical process indicators indicative of one or more process actions that are performable with respect to patients, where the processing comprises analyzing the medical documentation at least partially by parsing subjective data corresponding to the unstructured data to identify one or more of meaning, tone, humor, and/or sarcasm in the subjective data;
computing a score for each medical process indicator of the set of one or more medical process indicators, select one or more knowledge artifacts based on the set of one or more medical process indicators, and determining, based on the one or more knowledge artifacts and the scores for the medical process indicators of the set of one or more medical process indicators, a particular process action to be performed with respect to the patient, the particular process action being described in the first data in order to respond to a current condition of the patient;
adding an indicator of the particular process action to a digital repository storing indicia of process actions; and
