PROCESSING OF CLINICAL DATA FOR VALIDATION OF SELECTED CLINICAL PROCEDURES

摘要

A processing system and/or method for determining a validation status of an examination request for a patient, the examination request having content including a plurality of examination data defining a clinical condition of the patient. The system and/or method can include a receipt module or similar functionality for receiving the examination request via a communication network; a storage or similar functionality adapted for storing a plurality of predefined clinical definitions, each of the plurality of predefined clinical definitions associated with at least one examination type, the at least one examination type having a match threshold including a subset definition set from the plurality of predefined clinical definitions. The system and/or method can include a matching module or similar functionality adapted for conducting a first stage analysis of the content by comparing the content with the plurality of predefined clinical definitions in order to determine one or more matching definitions. The system and/or method can include a validation module or similar functionality adapted for comparing the matching definitions against the match threshold of each of the at least one examination type for determining a validation indicator of the examination request. The system and/or method can include a response module or similar functionality adapted for transmitting the validation status of the exam request as an exam response via the communications network, the exam response including the validation indicator.
