A method includes receiving an event tracking query for a patient health care transaction from a requestor; receiving state transition updates for the event from ones of a plurality of different transaction processing entities that are independently controlled with respect to each other; mapping the state transition updates to a representational workflow model, which defines a plurality of tracking states; generating an event tracking result based on the mapping of the state transition updates to the representational workflow model and the plurality of different transaction processing entities; and communicating the event tracking result to the requestor.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for event correlation and tracking in a multi-stakeholder environment

A healthcare information system, method and computer program product are provided to receive, process and output healthcare data in compliance with data use restrictions associated with the healthcare data, even in instances in which data projections are assembled from the data elements. In regards to a healthcare information system, processing circuitry is configured to assemble the data projection from a plurality of data elements. At least some data elements have different data use restrictions associated therewith. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine a combined data use restriction for the data projection based upon the data use restrictions of the data elements from which the data projection is assembled. The processing circuitry is further configured to associate metadata with the data projection including the combined data use restriction. Further, the processing circuitry is configured to control access to the data projection in accordance with the combined data use restriction.

A method, computing device and computer program product are provided to define a level of assurance in one or more links between patient records that relate to the same person based upon external information. In the context of a method, one or more links are identified between a patient record associated with a person and pre-existing patient records. Each pre-existing patient record has a plurality of demographic attributes associated with a patient. The method identifies one or more links based upon an analysis of the demographic attributes of the person and the respective patients associated with the pre-existing patient records. The method receives external information regarding a relationship between the person and the respective patients associated with the pre-existing patient records or regarding confirmation of an identity of the person. The method also defines a level of assurance in the respective one or more links based upon the external information.

Method and apparatus for defining a level of assurance in a link between patient records

A method, computer system and computer program product are provided to associate a record of a person and pre-existing records utilizing multiple matching strategies. The implementation of a plurality of matching strategies includes identifying link(s) between the record of the person and pre-existing records based upon an analysis pursuant to the respective matching strategy of demographic attributes of the person and respective individuals associated with the pre-existing records. The implementation of the plurality of matching strategies also includes associating the record of the person and a set of pre-existing records based upon the respective matching strategy. A relationship is then defined between the person and respective individuals associated with one or more sets of pre-existing records as defined by at least one of the plurality of matching strategies.

An event-driven system, method and computer program product are provided to selectively generate events in response to receipt of data elements. The event-driven system includes processing circuitry configured to identify, in response to receipt of one or more data elements, an event that is impacted by the one or more data elements. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine whether at least a threshold number of consumers are currently listening for the event. In an instance in which at least a threshold number of consumers are currently listening for the event, the processing circuitry is configured to perform one or more computations based upon the one or more data elements to generate the event. Otherwise, however, the processing circuitry is configured to at least defer the one or more computations that would be performed upon the one or more data elements to generate the event.

A health care information system, method and computer program product are provided to transform health care data in an efficient manner. In the context of a health care information system, the health care information system includes processing circuitry configured to define a transformation pipeline that includes a plurality of ordered transform elements. The processing circuitry is also configured to ingest health care data with the transformation pipeline in order to transform the health care data. The processing circuitry is further configured to track propagation of data representative of or associated with the health care data through the transformation pipeline. The processing circuitry is configured to track the propagation by identifying one or more completed transform elements that have completed processing of the data and by also identifying one or more ongoing transform elements that have begun processing of the data but for which the processing is incomplete.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for providing facilitating searching. A method may include determining a search term. The method may further include searching a database having at least one codified terminology set. The searching may be performed based at least in part upon the search term and historical search data. The method may additionally include determining one or more search results from the search. Each search result may include a codified term from the at least one codified terminology set. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.
