Predicting diagnosis of a patient
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for predicting diagnosis of a patient performed by a computerized device having a processor, comprising:
- modeling data from a group of patients successfully diagnosed as having one or more medical conditions, wherein the data is modeled as treatment paths of patients including referrals to medical practitioners; and
predicting diagnosis of one or more medical conditions for a current patient by comparing a treatment path of the current patient with the modeled treatment paths of successfully diagnosed patients, including calculating a probability of a given diagnosis of one or more medical conditions from the modeled treatment paths, wherein the calculating is in accordance with;

Abstract
Method, system, and computer program product are provided for predicting diagnosis of a patient performed by a computerized device. The method may include: modeling data from a group of successfully diagnosed patients, wherein the data is modeled as treatment paths of patients including referrals to medical practitioners; and predicting diagnosis for a current patient by comparing a treatment path of the current patient with the modeled treatment paths of successfully diagnosed patients, including calculating a probability of a given diagnosis from the modeled treatment paths. The method may include: defining a set of medical entities including medical practitioners to which a patient has been referred; and gathering treatment paths of successfully diagnosed patients, wherein the treatment path links medical entities in a directional route. Predicting diagnosis for a current patient may use the modeled data to calculate the probability of each model instance for each diagnosis and choosing the model instance of the diagnosis that maximizes the treatment path probability.
