Abstract
A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory comprising instructions, which are executed by the at least one processor and configure the processor to implement a patient information extractor. The patient information extractor receives a query specification for executing a query on a patient electronic medical record (EMR). The query specification provides parameters indicating a methodology for extracting search results from the patient EMR. The patient information extractor retrieves the patient EMR from a patient registry. The patient information extractor automatically executes the query specification on the retrieved patient EMR to thereby extract the search results from the patient EMR in accordance with the parameters of the query specification. The patient information extractor automatically processes the extracted search results to generate a patient indicator value. The patient indicator value represents an answer to a question about the patient. A patient evaluation operation is performed based on the patient indicator value.
