Methods for estimating injury recovery time data and devices thereof
Disclosed technology includes extracting claimant medical data including a current claimant's age, gender, and at least one injury from an electronic claims document. Estimated injury recovery time data is determined by correlating demographic medical data comprising prior estimated injury recovery time data associated with different prior claimant's ages, genders, and injuries based on programmed estimation rules configured to identify statistical correspondence between different combinations of the ages, the genders, and the injuries in the demographic medical data and the claimant medical data comprising at least the current claimant's age, gender, and at least one injury. The determined estimated injury recovery time data is updated based on at least identified and obtained medical treatment data and prescription medication data associated with the current claimant's at least one injury. The updated estimated injury recovery time data is provided via a graphical user interface to a claim management device.

transmitting, by the computing device, a plurality of notifications to the requesting claim management devices only when the estimated injury recovery time is an outlier or when the estimated injury recovery time is determined.
2. The method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising:
comparing, by the computing device, the updated estimated injury recovery time data against stored threshold injury recovery time data from a table correlated to the claimant's at least one injury;
determining, by the computing device, when the updated estimated injury recovery time data is a threshold percentage above the stored estimated injury recovery time data; and
providing, by the computing device, an outlier notification via the graphical user interface to the requesting claim management device when the updated injury recovery time data is determined to be above the threshold percentage.
3. The method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising, determining, by the computing device, when claimant medical data includes data necessary to determine the estimated injury recovery time data.
4. The method as set forth in claim 3 further comprising, sending, by the computing device, a specific request for missing data when the data necessary to determine the estimated injury recovery time data is determined to be absent.
5. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the estimated injury recovery time data is determined based on claimant's medical history data comprising an amount of time taken to recover from one or more prior injuries.
6. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the claimant medical data is extracted by identifying one or more keywords.
7. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions comprising executable code, which when executed by at least one processor, cause the processor to:
extract claimant medical data comprising at least a current claimant's age, gender, and at least one injury from an electronic claims document;
determine estimated injury recovery time data by correlating at least demographic medical data comprising prior estimated injury recovery time data associated with different prior claimant's ages, genders, and injuries based on one or more programmed estimation rules configured to identify statistical correspondence between different combinations of the ages, the genders, and the injuries in the demographic medical data and the claimant medical data comprising at least the current claimant's age, gender, and at least one injury;
update the determined estimated injury recovery time data based on at least identified and obtained medical treatment data and prescription medication data associated with the current claimant's at least one injury; provide the updated estimated injury recovery time data via a plurality of graphical user interface interfaces of requesting claim management devices; and
transmit a plurality of notifications to the requesting claim management devices only when the estimated injury recovery time is an outlier or when the estimated injury recovery time is determined.
8. The medium as set forth in claim 7 further comprising:
comparing the updated estimated injury recovery time data against stored threshold injury recovery time data from a table correlated to the claimant's at least one injury;
determining when the updated estimated injury recovery time data is a threshold percentage above the stored estimated injury recovery time data; and
providing an outlier notification via the graphical user interface to the requesting claim management device when the updated injury recovery time data is determined to be above the threshold percentage.
9. The medium as set forth in claim 7 further comprising, determining when claimant medical data includes data necessary to determine the estimated injury recovery time data.
10. The medium as set forth in claim 9 further comprising, sending a specific request for missing data when the data necessary to determine the estimated injury recovery time data is determined to be absent.
11. The medium as set forth in claim 7 wherein the estimated injury recovery time data is determined based on claimant's medical history data comprising an amount of time taken to recover from one or more prior injuries.
12. The medium as set forth in claim 7 wherein the claimant medical data is extracted by identifying one or more keywords.
13. An injury recovery estimation computing apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor which is configured to be capable of executing programmed instructions comprising and stored in the memory to:
extract claimant medical data comprising at least a current claimant's age, gender, and at least one injury from an electronic claims document;
