Methods of organizing medical data include hierarchically relating a single type of medical or research event to medical data generated from the single type of medical or research event in a computer database environment. Organizing the data in this way enables a researcher to access medical data collected as part of a medical procedure performed on a large number of patients, but at different times. For example, the medical data may be viewed in a more hierarchical fashion, thereby enabling the researcher to further investigate potential relationships between other factors.

Methods for hierarchical organization of data associated with medical events in databases

Methods, systems and computer program products for synthesizing diagnoses stored in healthcare databases are provided. A diagnosis query associated with a single patient or a group of patients is received. Query results are provided responsive to the diagnosis query. The query results may include diagnoses from multiple sources that are expressed in multiple standards formats.
