Decision support with clinical nomenclatures
First Claim
1. A computer-readable device having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that when executed, facilitate a method for improving a clinical decision support system, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of first clinical concepts encoded in a first nomenclature that is used by an electronic medical record system associated with a healthcare entity;
generating a plurality of mapped encoded first clinical concepts by mapping the plurality of first encoded clinical concepts from the first nomenclature that is used by the electronic medical record system associated with the healthcare entity to a second nomenclature associated with a metadata smart layer;
assessing from a library of clinical condition programs, a first clinical condition program implemented by an autonomous software agent operating on the metadata smart layer associated with the second nomenclature to determine a probability that a patient has a first clinical condition encoded in the second nomenclature;
utilizing the autonomous software agent within an autonomous multi-agent software system to determine the probability that the patient has the first clinical condition encoded in the second nomenclature based on a subset of second clinical concepts encoded in the second nomenclature that corresponds to the plurality of mapped first encoded clinical concepts;
identifying a set of first-condition information encoded in the second nomenclature to be mapped to the first nomenclature, the set of first-condition information including the first clinical condition and the subset of second clinical concepts used by the first clinical condition program, the first clinical condition and subset of clinical concepts being encoded in the second nomenclature;
mapping the set of first-condition information from the second nomenclature to the first nomenclature; and
providing, via a user interface, the mapped first-condition information and the probability that the patient has the first clinical condition to the healthcare entity in the first nomenclature.

Abstract
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 including providing timely contextual patient information including condition risks, risk factors and relevant clinical information that are dynamically updatable; imputing missing patient information; dynamically generating assessments for obtaining additional patient information based on context; data-mining and information discovery services including discovering new knowledge; identifying or evaluating treatments or sequences of patient care actions and behaviors, and providing recommendations based on this; intelligent, adaptive decision support services including identifying critical junctures in patient care processes, such as points in time that warrant close attention by caregivers; near-real time querying across diverse health records data sources, which may use diverse clinical nomenclatures and ontologies; improved natural language processing services; and other decision support services.
