Abstract

A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory, the memory comprising instructions that are executed by the processor to specifically configure the processor to implement a relevant information graphical presentation engine for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) that presents information from a patient electronic medical record (EMR). The relevant information graphical presentation engine generates a GUI presenting patient EMR data pertinent to a condition of the patient. The relevant information graphical presentation engine identifies a change in treatment recorded in the patient EMR, submits a question to a healthcare cognitive system to query the patient EMR for a reason for the change in treatment, and receives at least one answer from the healthcare cognitive system identifying of a reason portion of the patient EMR that provides a reason for the change in treatment. The relevant information graphical presentation engine generates a GUI element that references the reason portion of the patient EMR and inserts the GUI element in the GUI in association with the information from the patient EMR pertinent to the outcome. The relevant information graphical presentation engine outputs the GUI to the healthcare professional.
