Patient data mining improvements
First Claim
1. In a computer readable storage medium having stored therein data representing instructions executable by a programmed processor for adherence to a clinical guideline, assessment for clinical trial and/or assessment for treatment, the storage medium comprising instructions for:
- receiving input identifying a patient;
linking the patient to a first patient record at a first institution and a second patient record as a second institution different than the first institution, the linking being as a function of the input;
mining the first and second patient records; and
determining a probability of a particular disease as a function of results of the mining of the first and second patient records.

Abstract
Improvements in mining information from patient records and/or use of such mined information are provided. The identity of the patient is used to link to patient records at different institutions for mining. The user controls one or more thresholds for mining and/or inferring. By providing a user interface that allows selection of a portion of the statistical summary, data supporting the statistics may be output. To assist in understanding the knowledge base used for mining or inferring, a visual representation is output. The mining may be used for diagnosis related groupings.
