20100306036 | Method, System and Apparatus for Evaluation of Employee Competencies Using a Compression/Acceleration Methodology - A mechanism to evaluate the value of employee competencies across a business entity is provided. Managers provide raw interpretations of employee competencies in a variety of selected competency areas. The raw evaluations of employee competencies are weighted and stored according to an organizational utility of each competency to the business entity, arriving at an adjusted competency value for each competency. Depth of an employee's competency in a particular area is evaluated by selecting the highest adjusted competency value for an employee and then compressing that highest adjusted competency value in order to level initial assessments of an employee's strongest skill. This compressed value is augmented by one or more accelerators based upon the assessments of the employee's other competencies. The result is an overall domain competency rating for the employee that can then be used for comparison against other employees in the business entity. | 12-02-2010 |

20120158421 | FUNCTIONALITY FOR PROVIDING CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT - An information management system (IMS) is described herein that provides supplemental information to a user who is interacting with an application module. In one implementation, the IMS includes a collection system, an information extraction module, and a notification system. The collection system provides collected information from one or more information sources. The information extraction module extracts application information from the application module, even though the application module may lack a native interface for providing the application information. The analysis engine determines supplemental information to present to the user based on the collected information and the application information. And the notification information provides notification information which alerts the user to the existence of the supplemental information. In one scenario, the IMS can be applied in a healthcare-related domain. | 06-21-2012 |
20120159637 | FUNCTIONALITY FOR PROVIDING DE-IDENTIFIED DATA - A de-identification system is described herein for converting original messages into de-identified messages. The de-identification system leverages original message-inception-functionality which operates as a gateway for providing original messages for use by a production environment. Namely, the de-identification system includes a transformation module that receives the original messages from the original message-inception functionality. The transformation module then converts instances of sensitive information contained in the original messages into non-sensitive information, to produce the de-identified messages. A de-identified environment can consume the de-identified messages with high confidence that the messages have been properly sanitized. This is because the de-identification work has been performed at a well-contained quarantine level of the message processing functionality. | 06-21-2012 |

One or more name phrases from the name are identified. Statistics for the one or more name phrases are identified. It is determined whether to perform a first parsing technique that parses different types of name elements within at least one field of the name. In response to determining that the first parsing technique is to be performed, the name is parsed using the statistics and the first parsing technique. In response to determining that the first parsing technique is not to be performed, the name is parsed using the statistics and a second parsing technique. | 01-19-2012 |
20120016663 | IDENTIFYING RELATED NAMES - Provided are techniques for identifying related names. A collection of names from different languages is stored, wherein each of the names has a native orthographic form and a romanized form. An input name is received in a known encoding scheme. An alphabet of the input name is determined based on the known encoding scheme. One or more romanized names are generated based on the query name and the determined query name alphabet. Culture-sensitive regularization rules are applied to create an additional romanized name. The one or more romanized names and the additional romanized name are matched against the romanized names in the collection of names from the different languages. Data store records that have romanized names that match the one or more romanized names or the additional romanized name are returned. | 01-19-2012 |

20080215562 | System and Method for Improved Name Matching Using Regularized Name Forms - A system and method for improved name matching using regularized name forms is presented. A regularization rule engine uses culture-specific regularization rules to iteratively convert candidate names and query names to a canonical form, which are regularized candidate names and regularized query names, respectively. The regularization rules are context-sensitive or context-free rules that pertain to a name's originating culture. Subsequently, a name search engine compares the regularized query name with the regularized candidate names and identifies the regularized candidate names that meet a particular regularization matching threshold. In turn, name search engine selects the candidate names that correspond to the identified regularized candidate names and provides the selected candidate names to a user. | 09-04-2008 |
