Abstract
A system processes medical information of multiple patients to provide data for use in supporting clinical decision making. The system includes an interface for receiving, from a remote source, data representing patient non-specific medical information excluding patient specific information. The patient non-specific medical information comprises medical information of multiple individual patients treated at one or more healthcare organization sites. A data processor automatically, parses the received data, identifies, within the parsed received data, site specific information associated with a particular healthcare provider organization site and facilitates identification of the particular healthcare provider organization site. The data processor removes the identified site specific information from the data representing patient non-specific medical information to provide both patient and site non-specific, patient medical information representative data and stores both the patient and site non-specific, patient medical information representative data in a repository.
