Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a data mining framework for mining high-quality structured clinical information. The data mining framework includes a data miner that mines medical information from a computerized patient record (CPR) based on domain-specific knowledge contained in a knowledge base. The data miner includes components for extracting information from the CPR, combining all available evidence in a principled fashion over time, and drawing inferences from this combination process. The mined medical information is stored in a structured CPR which can be a data warehouse.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system for producing structured clinical information from patient records, the system comprising: a patient record comprising at least two data sources having patient information, at least one of the data sources being an unstructured data source and at least one of the data sources being a structured data source; a probabilistic data miner of a computer platform configured to (a) extract multiple pieces of information related to a variable for a patient…
