Abstract:

A method for filtered, real-time referral searches includes receiving, by an analysis engine, during a patient interaction between a patient and an operator, an identification of a clinical need. The analysis engine analyzes the identification of the clinical need and data associated with the patient to determine at least one patient requirement. The analysis engine identifies a plurality of medical providers as potential referrals for the patient. The analysis engine generates a question to ask the patient and modifies a user interface displayed to the operator, during the patient interaction, to include the generated question. The analysis engine receives input responsive to the generated question. The analysis engine accesses at least one state machine to filter the plurality of medical providers. The analysis engine modifies, during the patient interaction, the user interface, resulting in a display of an identification of each medical provider in the filtered set of medical providers.
