SOCIAL NETWORK TECHNIQUES APPLIED TO THE USE OF MEDICAL DATA
First Claim
1. A method for identifying clinician teams comprising:
- accessing, by one or more computer systems, a social graph with a plurality of nodes having a clinician node for each clinician of an institution and at least an edge between each clinician node corresponding to each organizational relationship and each professional relationship between each clinician;
collecting at least one element of patient data for each of a plurality of patients treated by the institution;
associating, by the one or more computer systems, each of the plurality of patients with a patient node and creating an edge between each patient node and an element node corresponding to each element of patient data, the one or more computer systems creating an edge between each element node of corresponding patient data with each clinician node corresponding to each clinician treating the patient;
monitoring, by the one or more computer systems, each usage of the patient data by each clinician and creating an edge between each clinician node corresponding to the clinician using the patient data and each element node of patient data used;
assigning, by the one or more computer systems, a weight to each connection between each of the plurality of nodes relating at least to the number of edges between each of the plurality of nodes;
creating, by the one or more computer systems, a first data set that scores each clinician node that is connected to at least one chosen node of the plurality of nodes by the weight of the connection between the clinician node and the at least one chosen node; and
displaying, by the one or more computer systems, each clinician corresponding to a clinician node having a score over a threshold score in the first data set.

Abstract
A method for indentifying a clinician team using a computer system including accessing a social graph with nodes for each clinician in a medial institution and collecting patient data from patients treated by the medical institution. Edges are created between patient nodes and element nodes corresponding to patient data. Edges are also created between each element node the clinician node of each treating clinician. Additional edges are created by monitoring the usage of patient data by each clinician. A weight is assigned to each connection between each of the nodes. A data set is created which scores each clinician node with respect to a chosen node. Each clinician with a clinician node with a score over a threshold score is displayed. The display may automatically form a team of clinicians.

8. A system for identifying clinician teams comprising:
-
a processor; a mass storage component coupled to the processor and storing a social graph with a plurality of nodes having a clinician node for each clinician of an institution and at least an edge for each organizational relationship and for each professional relationship between each clinician; at least one interface which collects at least one element of patient data for each of a plurality of patients treated by the institution, the processor associates each of the plurality of patients with a patient node and creates an edge between each patient node and an element node corresponding to the element of patient data, the processor creates an edge between each element node and the clinician node of each clinician treating the patient; and a display, wherein the at least one interface is monitored by the processor which creates an edge between each clinician node corresponding to the clinician using the patient data and each element node of patient data used, the processor assigns a weight to each connection between each of the plurality of nodes by at least the number of edges between each of the plurality of nodes, the processor creates a first data set that scores each clinician node that is connected to at least one chosen node of the plurality of nodes by the weight of the connection between the clinician node and at least one chosen node, the processor displays each clinician corresponding to each clinician node over a threshold score in the first data set. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer readable medium having embodied thereon a program, the program being executable by a processor for performing a method for identifying a clinician team, the method comprising:
-
accessing, by one or more computer systems, a social graph with a plurality of nodes having a clinician node for each clinician of an institution and at least an edge between each clinician node corresponding to each organizational relationship and each professional relationship between each clinician; collecting at least one element of patient data for each of a plurality of patients treated by the institution; associating, by the one or more computer systems, each of the plurality of patients with a patient node and creating an edge between each patient node and an element node corresponding to each element of patient data, the one or more computer systems creating an edge between each element node of corresponding patient data with each clinician node corresponding to each clinician treating the patient; monitoring, by the one or more computer systems, each usage of the patient data by each clinician and creating an edge between each clinician node corresponding to the clinician using the patient data and each element node of patient data used; assigning, by the one or more computer systems, a weight to each connection between each of the plurality of nodes relating at least to the number of edges between each of the plurality of nodes; creating, by the one or more computer systems, a first data set that scores each clinician node that is connected to at least one chosen node of the plurality of nodes by the weight of the connection between the clinician node and the at least one chosen node; and displaying, by the one or more computer systems, each clinician corresponding to a clinician node having a score over a threshold score in the first data set. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
