SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING PATIENT-TO PATIENT RELATIONSHIPS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for identifying patient-to-patient relationships among patient electronic medical data, said method comprising:
- examining electronic patient information for one or more identifiers related to a first patient;
matching, using a processor, said one or more identifiers related to the first patient with one or more identifiers from electronic patient information related to a second patient;
identifying, using a processor, said second patient for connection to said first patient based on a relationship between said first patient and said second patient;
linking electronic patient information for said first patient to electronic patient information for said second patient pending approval; and
providing electronic access to linked electronic patient information for said second patient when reviewing said electronic patient information for said first patient.

Abstract
An example method for identifying patient-to-patient relationships among patient electronic medical data includes examining electronic patient information for one or more identifiers related to a first patient. The method includes matching, using a processor, the one or more identifiers related to the first patient with one or more identifiers from electronic patient information related to a second patient. The method includes identifying, using a processor, the second patient for connection to the first patient based on a relationship between the first patient and the second patient. The method includes linking electronic patient information for the first patient to electronic patient information for the second patient pending approval. The method includes providing electronic access to linked electronic patient information for the second patient when reviewing the electronic patient information for the first patient.

9. A patient-to-patient relationship identification system, said system comprising:
-
a processor to examine electronic patient information from at least one electronic document source for one or more identifiers related to a first patient and match said one or more identifiers related to the first patient with one or more identifiers from electronic patient information related to a second patient, said processor is to identify said second patient for connection to said first patient based on a relationship between said first patient and said second patient; and a patient registry to include electronic patient information for said first patient and providing a link to electronic patient information for said second patient based on approval by at least one of said first patient and said second patient, said patient registry is to facilitate access to linked electronic patient information for said second patient when a user is reviewing said electronic patient information for said first patient. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A tangible computer-readable storage medium including a set of instructions for execution on a processor, the set of instructions, when executed, implement a patient-to-patient relationship identification system, said system comprising:
-
a processor to examine electronic patient information from at least one electronic document source for one or more identifiers related to a first patient and match said one or more identifiers related to the first patient with one or more identifiers from electronic patient information related to a second patient, said processor is to identify said second patient for connection to said first patient based on a relationship between said first patient and said second patient; and a patient registry to include electronic patient information for said first patient and providing a link to electronic patient information for said second patient based on approval by at least one of said first patient and said second patient, said patient registry is to facilitate access to linked electronic patient information for said second patient when a user is reviewing said electronic patient information for said first patient. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
