Abstract:
A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided. Electronic health records of patients, indicating encounters with healthcare providers for medical conditions, are analyzed to determine networks of healthcare providers. Based on the analyzing, healthcare provider network data corresponding to a graphical representation of the determined networks of healthcare providers are generated. The healthcare provider network data includes multiple paths, each of which indicates a series of healthcare providers. Based on the generated healthcare provider network data, a path indicating a series of healthcare providers within the healthcare provider network data and corresponding to at least one medical condition indicated by an electronic health record of a patient is identified. An action for the patient and a corresponding healthcare provider to perform the action is determined based on the identified path. An appointment is automatically scheduled for the patient with the corresponding healthcare provider.
