摘要:
A processor-implemented method, computer program product, and/or computer system predicts a future event. A first bit array, which describes characteristics of a single entity while experiencing a first event, is generated using values received from a set of physical test devices. After the first single entity experiences a different second event, a second bit array is generated from another set of physical test devices. The second bit array describes characteristics of an event cohort, which is made up of entities, other than the single entity, which also experience the second event, but which never experienced the first event. When another single entity experiences the first event, a determination is made as to whether that other single entity has characteristics from both the first bit array and the second bit array. If so, a prediction is made that the other single entity will also experience the second event.

A request is received for a set of entries that make up a small cell in a database, wherein the small cell is initially described at a fine granular level of detail by a set of descriptors. In response to the total number of entries in the small cell being below a predetermined limit, the set of descriptors are modified to reduce the fine granular level of detail to a coarse granular level of detail in order to protect the privacy of individuals described by the set of entries.

A computer hardware-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product matches a current patient to a specific patient readmission cohort. The specific patient readmission cohort, made up of patients having a shared attribute, has a historical likelihood of hospital readmission within a predefined post-discharge length of time for members of the specific patient readmission cohort. A database describing a current patient is selected, based on the cost and speed of accessing that database, as well as the probability that the database describes a similar attribute for the current patient as the shared attribute in the specific patient readmission cohort. If the current patient meets the requisite criteria for entry into the specific patient readmission cohort, then a recommendation designed to reduce a likelihood of hospital readmission of the current patient is generated.

Method, system, and program product for configuring and using a federated database and data structure management system with error prone data. The design of the metadata and queries includes the steps of first determining schema and metadata configurations of the data source servers. The next step is enumerating available resources, and enumerating security and confidentiality requirements. These are used for calculating an optimal federated database management system design based on the schema and metadata, the enumerated available resources, and the enumerated security and confidentiality requirements; and designing an optimal federated database management system with provision for exception detection and error handling.

A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product creates a physical information environment for a specific industry type. A candidate industry type, which has specific information environment requirements, is selected to describe a customer's operations. A set of information environment components that is specific to the candidate industry type is selected. Inherent constraints, for the set of information environment components, are identified. A processor recursively optimizes the set of information environment components to create a set of optimized information environment components that meet the inherent constraints and key performance indicators (KPIs) of the candidate industry type. A hierarchy of KPIs for the candidate industry type is defined. The processor predicts access patterns to the optimized information environment components based on the hierarchy of KPIs. A physical information environment that comprises the set of optimized information environment components is then constructed and deployed.

A rules engine assigns a set of appropriateness rules to a particular data collection. The set of appropriateness rules describes an optimum usage for the particular data collection based on a source of the particular data collection and a type of activity that is deemed best suited to utilize the particular data collection. In response to determining that a requesting computer is implementing an activity that matches the particular set of appropriateness rules, a database controller is directed to transmit the particular data collection to the requesting computer.

The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for generating never-event cohorts. In response to receiving patient care data derived from a population of patients, the patient care data is processed to form digital patient care data. The digital patient care data includes metadata describing a set of patient care patterns associated with one or more patients in the population of patients. The digital patient care data is analyzed using cohort criteria to identify a set of never-event attributes from the set of patient care patterns. The cohort criteria specifies at least one never-event attribute from the set of never-event attributes for each cohort in a set of never-event cohorts. Thereafter, a set of never-event cohorts is generated. The set of never-event cohorts is formed from members selected from the population of patients, and each member of a cohort in the set of never-event cohorts has the at least one never-event attribute in common.

A computer implemented method for inferring a probability of a first inference absent from a database at which a query regarding the inference is received. Each datum of the database is conformed to the dimensions of the database. Each datum of the plurality of data has associated metadata and an associated key. The associated metadata includes data regarding cohorts associated with the corresponding datum, data regarding hierarchies associated with the corresponding datum, data regarding a corresponding source of the datum, and data regarding probabilities associated with integrity, reliability, and importance of each associated datum. The query is used as a frame of reference for the search. The database returns a probability of the correctness of the first inference based on the query and on the data.

A computer-implemented method, system and program product for creating a physical information environment for a specific industry type are presented. A candidate industry type is selected to describe a customer's operations. A set of information environment components, which is modeled and simulated in software and is specific for the candidate industry type, is selected. Inherent constraints, from the candidate industry type and the set of information environment components, are identified. The set of information environment components are then recursively optimized in order to comply with the inherent constraints and to meet the specific information environment requirements. Based on optimized information environment components, construction of a information environment is simulated in order to define an architecture of a simulated information environment for the candidate industry type. A physical information environment that comports with the architecture of the optimally simulated information environment is then constructed and deployed.
