Abstract
The invention described herein solves the challenges encountered in searching for medical/clinical information from multiple data sources. Systems, methods, and devices of the invention allow a user to search a number of dissimilar information sources simultaneously, and view, process, and perform correlations on the information. The invention uses faceted search to process clinical values, subject characteristics, and population characteristics, thereby providing a user with an array of information useful for monitoring or improving the state of health of a patient or a patient population. The invention enables a user to evaluate information in a patient-centric way, and analyze information at either the individual or the population level.
