An apparatus includes a processor and storage to store instructions that cause the processor to identify at least one correlation between a diagnosis group and a medication class for each patient of a first set of patients to derive a set of models for each diagnosis group that correlates the diagnosis group to at least one medication class based on the at least one identified correlation; and for each patient of a second set of patients, employ each model of each set of models to make at least one prediction of at least one diagnosis group as indicated in the corresponding diagnosis group record based on at least one medication class indicated in the corresponding medication class record, and compare the at least one prediction to the corresponding diagnosis group record to derive a tally of at least one of true positives or false positives for each prediction.

Distributed correlation and analysis of patient therapy data

Exemplary embodiments relate to systems for building a model of changes to data items when information the data items is limited or not directly observed. Exemplary embodiments allow properties of the data items to be inferred using a single data structure and creates a highly granular log of changes to the data item. Using this data structure, the time-varying nature of changes to the data item can be determined. The data structure may be used to identify characteristics associated with a regularly-performed action, to examine how adherence to the action affects a system, and to identify outcomes of non-adherence. Fungible data items may be mapped to a remediable condition or remedy class. This may be accomplished by automatically deriving conditions and remedial information from available information, matching the conditions to remedial classes or types via a customizable mapping, and then calculating adherence for the condition on the available information.
