A
system and associated methods provide healthcare entities with analyzing capabilities for records of a
patient population. The analyzing process seeks to find matches between a piece of
clinical knowledge introduced to a healthcare entity and data contained in the
patient population records. According to one method, a service generates
executable code based on the piece of
clinical knowledge. Through a communication with the service, the healthcare entity makes a determination as to what extent the
clinical knowledge has relevance to a
patient population of the healthcare entity. Based on this determination, the healthcare entity receives at least a portion of the
executable code. Then, the records of the patient
population may be analyzed by the
executable code to register matches of the clinical knowledge with data contained within the records.
System activity may then be initiated based on the matches registered. Examples of
system activity include compiling a
contact list of patients and / or healthcare providers associated with specific records where matches occurred, generating a report about the matches registered, and
flagging specific records where matches occurred so that care providers may discuss issues surrounding the clinical knowledge with associated patients in a future encounter with the healthcare entity, among others.
