Abstract
In one embodiment, a method comprises identifying one or more health-care-providers associated with one or more medical-specializations, wherein each medical-specialization is associated with a specialty class and at least one geographic area. A number of patient-diagnosis codes is received, each patient-diagnosis code corresponding to one of the health-care-providers and representing a patient-visit to the health-care-provider. The patient-diagnosis code includes at least one diagnosis within a condition-group for the patient visit, and a severity-factor for the diagnosis. The method further comprises determining all patient-diagnosis codes corresponding to the health-care-providers. A patient-volume is calculated for each health-care-provider, based on the patient-diagnosis codes and associated severity-factors. A variety-score is calculated for each health-care-provider based on the patient-diagnosis codes. An experience-score is calculated for each health-care-provider based on the patient-volume and variety-score.
