Generating Never-Event Cohorts from Patient Care Data
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for generating never-event cohorts, the computer implemented method comprising:
- responsive to receiving patient care data derived from a population of patients, processing the patient care data to form digital patient care data, wherein the digital patient care data comprises metadata describing a set of patient care patterns associated with one or more patients in the population of patients;
analyzing the digital patient care data using cohort criteria to identify a set of never-event attributes from the set of patient care patterns, wherein the cohort criteria specifies at least one never-event attribute from the set of never-event attributes for each cohort in a set of never-event cohorts; and
generating the set of never-event cohorts comprising members selected from the population of patients, wherein each member of a cohort in the set of never-event cohorts has the at least one never-event attribute in common.

Abstract
The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for generating never-event cohorts. In response to receiving patient care data derived from a population of patients, the patient care data is processed to form digital patient care data. The digital patient care data includes metadata describing a set of patient care patterns associated with one or more patients in the population of patients. The digital patient care data is analyzed using cohort criteria to identify a set of never-event attributes from the set of patient care patterns. The cohort criteria specifies at least one never-event attribute from the set of never-event attributes for each cohort in a set of never-event cohorts. Thereafter, a set of never-event cohorts is generated. The set of never-event cohorts is formed from members selected from the population of patients, and each member of a cohort in the set of never-event cohorts has the at least one never-event attribute in common.
