First Claim
1. A coronary heart disease screening system comprising:
- a first database including a plurality of structured computerized patient records mined, at least in part, form an unstructured data source using probabilistic inference, a first of the structured computerized patient records having patient information for a plurality of coronary risk factors for a patient;
a second database including a knowledge base relating to coronary heart disease, the second database including at least one test for determining coronary heart disease risk wherein the at least one test includes a plurality of data fields relating to the coronary risk factors; and

Abstract
A system and method for screening for coronary heart disease is provided. The method includes the steps of retrieving a test for assessing risk of coronary heart disease, the test including a plurality of data fields relating to coronary risk factors; accessing a database to populate the data fields with information of an individual patient; and calculating a risk assessment of the individual patient developing coronary heart disease. A system includes a first database including a plurality of structured computerized patient records; a second database including a knowledge base relating to coronary heart disease, the second database including at least one test for determining coronary heart disease risk; and a processor for retrieving the at least one test from the second database, populating the at least one test with patient information retrieved from the first database and calculating a risk assessment for at least one patient.
