ABSTRACT:
A method for automatically and iteratively updating patient encounter reports based on recognized patterns of occurrences. A patient's information is obtained prior to a visit to a healthcare facility. This information is compared to a set of guidelines. The result is a preliminary patient encounter report that may be presented to a physician as well as act as a preset trigger to generate financial transactions. The physician can edit the report due to his own preferences and the updated report automatically sent to a rules engine that examines the edits, on a physician, healthcare facility, and patient level and determines if changes to the existing guidelines need to be made. The new guidelines are sent to a predictor module so that upon subsequent visits by patients, new guidelines will appear on the preliminary patient encounter summary report along with other learned administrative and financial transactions within the system.
