The present invention is directed to a method and system for generating cost accounting data. The method may include retrieving information including descriptive attributes that represent content captured during patient care. The method may additionally include associating each descriptive attribute with a cost. A system may be provided for generating cost accounting information in a healthcare environment. The system may include automated information capture equipment and a retrieval component for retrieving content captured by the automated information capture equipment. The system may additionally include an association component for associating captured content with a cost and an implementation component for generating cost accounting information based on created associations.

A system and method for receiving medical or other database information and pregrouping and extending that data include a data enhancement layer configured to generate additional stored dimensions capturing the data and relevant attributes. Data sources such as hospitals, laboratories and others may therefore communicate their clinical data to a central warehousing facility which may assemble and extend the resulting aggregated data for data mining purposes. Varying source format and content may be conditioned and conformed to a consistent physical or logical structure. The source data may be extended and recombined into additional related dimensions, pre-associating meaningful attributes for faster querying and storage. The attributes, data and other pieces of information may likewise in embodiments be subjected to an inference analysis to determine whether previously unidentified or unexploited relationships may exist within the universe of source data, for instance using correlation, inference or other analytic techniques. Newly detected, identified or inferred data groupings, which may for instance reveal hidden trends or patterns residing in the data, may then be added back to the enhanced data groupings.

Users running analytics against the resulting medical or other datamarts may therefore access a richer set of related information as well as have their queries and other operations run more efficiently.

A system and method for a management interface for clinical environments presents aggregated clinical, financial, operational and other data to administrators and other users. Clinical or department lines and other groupings may be presented in graphical representations of patient outcomes, costs, drug and other therapies and other indicators. Outcomes and other benchmarks may be selectively compared against historical trends or known medical benchmarks, and in embodiments scenario modeling based on alternative therapies, procedures or other variables may be presented. The clinical and other source data from which the graphical interfaces may be presented may be generated via data warehouse platforms including grouping engines which process originally captured data into extended, pre-grouped or pre-related dimensions. A closed feedback loop between current operational outcomes, baseline recommended therapies and adjusted treatment plans may in embodiments be established to permit rigorous tracking and improvement in benchmarks of interest.
