Prior Art Detail
Summary / Description
| Summary / Description | Techniques for an integrated system that may access various medical information databases to retrieve and analyze data for user-related purposes, patient-related purposes, as well as to identify and discover particular medical care needs or relationships between data to enhance diagnosis, treatment, institutional performance, and so forth. Includes searching and analyzing medical data based on a search parameter defining a criteria. The system includes data processing system that takes inputs from a user or initiates automatically, extracts information (crawls) from databases, and processes/ presents them for various benefits, including that of a medical practitioner. |
