Techniques for implementing Quality Assurance of the process of coding medical documents are disclosed. An audit of a coding process for a medical document is initiated by selecting and setting audit parameters. Using the selected parameters, a sample batch of coded documents is obtained from a universe of coded documents. The sample batch of coded documents is presented to auditor(s), and the auditor(s) provide corrections, which are recorded, and a score for each correction is calculated. A sample score, based on the corrections, is calculated in a manner that tracks to subjective auditor assessments of the process quality as being acceptable, marginally acceptable, or unacceptable, and which sample score accounts for the individual auditor subjectivity and an error.

Auditing the coding and abstracting of documents

Methods, systems and computer program products for implementing a mere-parser are disclosed. Text data is processed to generate one or more parse items. A boundary based attribute associated with one of the parse items is identified, and the identified mere attribute is associated with one or more of the remaining parse items that is not blocked from associated with the boundary based attribute.

Mere-parsing with boundary and semantic driven scoping

Methods, systems and computer program products for resolving multiple magnitudes assigned to a target vector are disclosed. A target vector that includes one or more target vector dimensions is received. One of the target vector dimensions is processed to determine a total number of magnitudes assigned to the processed target vector dimension. Also, a source vector that includes one or more source vector dimensions is received. The received source vector is processed to determine a total number of features associated with the source vector. When it is detected that the total number of magnitudes assigned to the processed target vector dimension exceeds one, one of the assigned magnitudes is selected based on one of the determined features associated with the source vector.

Multi-magnitudinal vectors with resolution based on source vector features

A method for building a tree of parse items involves receiving a plurality of parse items stored in an ordered data structure, processing semantic attributes associated with the plurality of parse items, generating a merged parse item from at least two parse items of the plurality of parse items, and forming a portion of a tree data structure such that the merged parse item is a parent of the at least two parse items.

Methods, systems and computer program products for implementing a mere-parser are disclosed. Text data is processed to generate one or more parse items. A boundary based attribute associated with one of the parse items is identified, and the identified mere attribute is associated with one or more of the remaining parse items that is not blocked from being associated with the boundary based attribute.

A method, system and a computer program product for an automated interpretation and/or translation are disclosed. An automated interpretation and/or translation occurs by receiving language-based content from a user. The received language-based content is processed to interpret and/or translate the received language-based content into a target language. Also, a presence of a cultural sensitivity in the received language-based content is detected. Further, an appropriate guidance for dealing with the detected cultural sensitivity is provided.

Automated interpretation and/or translation of clinical encounters with cultural cues

A method, system and a computer program product for an automated interpretation and translation are disclosed. An automated interpretation occurs by receiving language-based content from a user. The received language-based content is processed to interpret the received language-based content into a target language. Also, a presence of a cultural sensitivity in the received language-based content is detected. Further, an appropriate guidance for dealing with the detected cultural sensitivity is provided.
