Abstract
Disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented methods and systems that can efficiently generate highly relevant recommended search terms to clinicians. A hybrid collaborative filtering model recommends search terms for a specific patient to the clinician. The model draws on information from patients' clinical encounters and the searches that were performed during the clinical encounters. To generate recommendations, the model uses search terms which are (1) frequently co-occurring with the ICD codes recorded for the patient and (2) highly relevant to the most recent search terms. One variation of the model uses only the most recent ICD codes assigned to the patient. Another variation uses all ICD codes. Comprehensive experiments of embodiments of the methods and systems have demonstrate high levels of performance.
