1. A data correlation engine that uses a computer to run a set of queries against a database that electronically stores clinical data, comprising:

  • a stored set of queries that had been previously created by a first user and run against the database, wherein each individual query within the set is associated with a first parameterized value corresponding to a first category and a second parameterized value corresponding to a second category;

    a filtering interface configured to (1) receive a category selection from a second user, (2) automatically present to the second user a plurality of parameterized values corresponding to the selected category, (3) receive from the second user a selection of a parameterized value from the plurality of parameterized values, and (4) retrieve a non-trivial proper sub-set of the queries based on the selected category and the selected parameterized value;

    a query selection interface through which the second user can select one or more queries from the retrieved sub-set of queries to be automatically run against the database according to a periodicity schedule to provide a set of exceptional case alerts;

    a presentation interface through which the second user can select a presentation aspect of how at least one of the exceptional case alerts will be presented to the second user; and

    a correlation module configured to (1) run the selected one or more queries against the database to produce a first value, (2) perform a comparison operation between the produced first value and a second pre-determined value to generate a difference value, and (3) present an exceptional case alert to the second user according to the selected presentation aspect only when the difference value indicates are exceptional case.
