Method and system for cardiac risk assessment of a patient using historical and real-time data

Abstract

A method and system for assessing the risk of a cardiac event in a patient which utilizes real-time and historical data from Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems is described. A risk of a cardiac event is estimated, in real-time or near-real-time, for a patient who is currently in a hospital emergency department. Batch data for one or more past patients is extracted from EMRs into a machine learning model. Using the machine learning model, a risk level for one or more past patients is calculated. A real-time database is constructed from streams of real-time Health Level 7 (HL7) clinical data, wherein at least one stream of real-time HL7 data is associated with the current patient, and a risk prediction is estimated by joining the calculated risk level for the patient in the machine learning model with the real-time HL7 clinical data from the patient.
