First Claim
1. A method for indexing a plurality of nodes using a computer system, the computer system including data storage and a processor coupled to the data storage, the method comprising:
- storing the plurality of nodes in the data storage, each of the plurality of nodes having a hit count, a link count and an outcome, the hit count of each node indicating a number of times a case attribute associated with the node is presented to a user, the link count of each node indicating a number of times the case attribute associated with the node is affirmed as useful, the outcome of each node indicating a desirability of the outcome;
creating a qualitative index ordering a plurality of nodes according to the hit count, the link count and the outcome of each node;
creating a semantic index ordering the plurality of nodes according to a diagnosis-related group associated with each node;
creating a quantitative index ordering the plurality of nodes according to a plurality of patient data values associated with each node;
creating an ontological index ordering the plurality of nodes according to at least one clinical term taxonomy;
creating a temporal index ordering the plurality of nodes according to a time period associated with each node;
creating a temporal-ontological index ordering the plurality of nodes according to a time period associated with each node and the at least one clinical term taxonomy; and
storing the qualitative index in the data storage.

Abstract
A method for indexing a plurality of nodes using a computer system is provided. The computer system includes data storage and a processor coupled to the data storage. The method includes acts of storing the plurality of nodes in the data storage, each of the plurality of nodes having a hit count, a link count and an outcome, creating a qualitative index ordering a plurality of nodes according to the hit count, the link count and the outcome of each node and storing the qualitative index in the data storage. The hit count of each node indicates a number of times a case attribute associated with the node is presented to a user. The link count of each node indicates a number of times the case attribute associated with the node is affirmed as useful. The outcome of each node indicates a desirability of the outcome.
