Medical information navigation engine (mine) system

Abstract

A medical information navigation engine (MINE) for transacting medical information by receiving medical information from a medical sources, identifying, mapping, and consolidating the received medical information by a back-end medical processor, presenting access to specific relevant data, based on a user's security privileges, within the identified, mapped, and consolidated medical information, based on user-specific functions or roles by a front-end medical processor, and generating user-customized processed medical information to a plurality of users, with at least a portion of the user-customize processed medical information being provided to each of the plurality of users based on its relevancy to each user's specific function or role and each user's associated security privileges.

         5 . In a medical information navigation engine (MINE), a method for population analysis useful in association with at least one electronic health record (EHR) system, the method comprising: analyzing clinical data from at least one electronic health record system, wherein the clinical data includes clinical narratives associated with a plurality of patients; and providing a view including at least one of patient disease, patient condition, patient risk stratification, patient care quality measure compliance, and patient actionable care gap, associated with the plurality of patients. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5  wherein the patient risk stratification includes co-modalities associated with at least one of the plurality of patients. 
     
     
         7 . In a medical information Navigation Engine (MINE), a method for HCC optimization useful in association with at least one electronic health record (EHR) system, the method comprising: analyzing clinical data and patient claims from at least one electronic health record system, wherein the clinical data includes clinical narratives associated with at least one patient; identifying at least one coding opportunity associated with at least one patient condition mined from unstructured clinical data, wherein the at least one patient condition has not yet been associated with one of the patient claims; presenting a user with source clinical narrative thereby enabling the user to verify the at least one patient condition can be appropriately/accurately associated with the at least one patient; and presenting at least one optimized target billing code associated with the at least one patient condition. 
     
     
         8 . In a medical information Navigation Engine (MINE), a method for patient analysis useful in association with at least one electronic health record (EHR) system, the method comprising: analyzing clinical data from at least one electronic health record system, wherein the clinical data includes clinical narratives, coded data and scanned documents, associated with at least one patient; providing a reconciled list of relevant information extracted from the clinical data, wherein the key information includes at least one of medication, patient condition, procedure, immunization and allergy; and providing at least a portion of the longitudinally formatted clinical data associated with the at least one patient. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8  wherein the clinical data is stored in a longitudinal format for easy retrieval. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8  further comprising providing at least one patient actionable care gap associated with the at least one patient.
