Abstract

A medical information navigation engine (“MINE”) is provided. In some embodiments, the system computes a current patient encounter vector for a current patient encounter, and then an optimal patient encounter vector is computed by assuming a best case patient encounter in accordance with the organizational objectives. The system is then able to compute the difference between the best case encounter and the current patient encounter. This difference is used to compute a corresponding payoff using an intelligent matrix.

Claims (35)

1. A Medical Information Navigation Engine (“MINE”) including at least one hardware processor configured to:

convert medical information formatted in various formats into a format to facilitate search speed for data queried from the medical information, the medical information associated with a plurality of patients;

generate, using the converted medical information, a plurality of patient state timelines, wherein a subset of the plurality of patient state timelines includes at least one state of interest;

generate a plurality of impact measures for each of the plurality of patient state timelines, wherein each impact measure is a cost of services provided at a given time to transition from one state to another;

generate a probability distribution of future impacts by summing all impact measures after the at least one state of interest occurs for each of the subset of the plurality of patient state timelines;

generate a suggestion model by analyzing the probability distribution of future impacts; and

apply the suggestion model to one patient state timeline to generate recommendations for the corresponding patient.

2. The MINE of claim 1 , wherein each patient state timeline corresponds to a particular patient of the plurality of patients.

3. The MINE of claim 1 , wherein each patient state timeline is an ordering of individual states in a time order.

4. The MINE of claim 1 , wherein the least one hardware processor is further configured to select, based on analyzing the probability distribution of future impacts by the at least one hardware processor, actions that change a likelihood of a future outcome that maximizes at least one organizational objective.

5. The MINE of claim 1 , wherein the least one hardware processor is further configured to receive, from a plurality of medical data sources, the medical information for the plurality of patients.

6. The MINE of claim 1 , wherein the least one hardware processor is further configured to apply the suggestion model to each of the subset of the plurality of patient state timelines to generate a set of actions for a cohort.

7. A computer-implemented method implemented by a Medical Information Navigation Engine (“MINE”) including at least one processor, the method comprising:

converting, by the at least one processor, medical information formatted in various formats into a format to facilitate search speed for data queried from the medical information, the medical information associated with a plurality of patients;

generating, by the at least one processor and using the converted medical information, a plurality of patient state timelines, wherein a subset of the plurality of patient state timelines includes at least one state of interest;

generating, by the at least one processor, a plurality of impact measures for each of the plurality of patient state timelines, wherein each impact measure is a cost of services provided at a (liven time to transition from one state to another;

generating, by the at least one processor, a probability distribution of future impacts by summing all impact measures after the at least one state of interest occurs for each of the subset of the plurality of patient state timelines;

generating, by the at least one processor, a suggestion model by analyzing the probability distribution of future impacts; and

applying, by the at least one processor, the suggestion model to one patient state timeline to generate recommendations for the corresponding patient.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein each patient state timeline corresponds to a particular patient of the plurality of patients.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein each patient state timeline is an ordering of individual states in a time order.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 further comprising selecting, based on analyzing the probability distribution of future impacts by the at least one processor, actions that change a likelihood of a future outcome that maximizes at least one organizational objective.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 further comprising receiving, by the at least one processor from a plurality of medical data sources, the medical information for the plurality of patients.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 further comprising applying, by the at least one processor, the suggestion model to each of the subset of the plurality of patient state timelines to generate a set of actions for a cohort.

13. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor of a Medical Information Navigation Engine (“MINE”) cause the at least one processor to:

convert medical information formatted in various formats into a format to facilitate search speed for data queried from the medical information, the medical information associated with a plurality of patients;

generate, using the converted medical information, a plurality of patient state timelines, wherein a subset of the plurality of patient state timelines includes at least one state of interest;

generate a plurality of impact measures for each of the plurality of patient state timelines, wherein each impact measure is a cost of services provided at a (liven time to transition from one state to another;

generate a probability distribution of future impacts by summing all impact measures after the at least one state of interest occurs for each of the subset of the plurality of patient state timelines;

generate a suggestion model by analyzing the probability distribution of future impacts; and

apply the suggestion model to one patient state timeline to generate recommendations for the corresponding patient.

14. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein each patient state timeline corresponds to a particular patient of the plurality of patients.

15. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein each patient state timeline is an ordering of individual states in a time order.

16. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the at least one processor to select, based on analyzing the probability distribution of future impacts by the at least one processor, actions that change a likelihood of a future outcome that maximizes at least one organizational objective.

17. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the at least one processor to receive, from a plurality of medical data sources, the medical information for the plurality of patients.
