Optimizing veracity scores for diagnoses in patient records
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11875902B2) outlines a method and system for generating and optimizing veracity scores for diagnoses in patient records. The method involves electronically receiving a patient's health record, retrieving data representing dimensions and weighting values specific to the diagnosis, applying these values to a selected function to determine a veracity score, and displaying the score along with supporting reasoning on a visualization dashboard for healthcare providers. A veracity feedback tool allows providers to indicate agreement or disagreement with the diagnosis, automatically adjusting weighting values based on this feedback for future veracity score determinations. The system includes healthcare provider devices, data stores with health records, functions, dimensions, weighting values, and a diagnosis assessment unit to calculate veracity scores, a visualization dashboard generator, and a feedback processing system for user input on diagnosis veracity.
The system's innovative approach incorporates various dimensions such as the type of entity recording the diagnosis, physical location, date of diagnosis, related diagnoses, medications, procedures, and lab values to enhance the accuracy of veracity scores. By allowing healthcare providers to provide feedback on diagnoses, the system continuously refines weighting values for improved accuracy in subsequent veracity score determinations. The method also includes provisions for adding new diagnoses to a patient's health record based on predetermined veracity score thresholds. Overall, this patent introduces a comprehensive system that leverages data-driven insights to optimize the accuracy of diagnoses in patient records, ultimately enhancing the quality of healthcare delivery and decision-making processes.
