DETERMINING NEW KNOWLEDGE FOR CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT

摘要

Systems, methods and computer-readable media are provided for facilitating clinical decision support and managing patient population health by health-related entities including caregivers, health care administrators, insurance providers, and patients. Embodiments of the invention provide decision support services through new knowledge, including high-value itemsets having a plurality of codified clinical concepts from clinical information of a reference population and determining statistical measures of association between the high-value itemsets and codified clinical concepts in a target patient's electronic health records to determine additional clinical concepts that may be relevant for the patient. The high-value itemsets are discovered from the reference set of clinical information using data-mining approaches that include rare items and are linked to other clinical information to provide more contextually relevant information.
