1090 + Example: Semantic search finds relevant medical research when a clinician asks
+ "treatments for resistant hypertension" using natural language.
1091 +
1092 + #### Shortest Path Algorithm
1093 +
1094 + A graph algorithm finding the minimum number of edges or lowest-weight path
+ between two nodes.
1095 +
1096 + Example: The shortest path algorithm finds the quickest referral chain from a
+ patient's primary physician to a specialized treatment center.
1097 +
1098 + #### Similarity Measure
1099 +
1100 + A quantitative method for assessing how alike two nodes or subgraphs are based on
+ defined criteria.
1101 +
1102 + Example: Computing similarity measures identifies patients with comparable
+ medical histories for cohort analysis.
1103 +
1104 + #### Specialist Provider
1105 +
1106 + A physician with advanced training focused on treating specific diseases, organ
+ systems, or patient populations.
1107 +
1108 + Example: An oncologist is a specialist provider treating patients with cancer.
1109 +
1110 + #### Subgraph Query
1111 +
1112 + A graph query extracting a subset of nodes and edges matching specified patterns
+ or conditions.
1113 +
1114 + Example: A subgraph query extracts all nodes and relationships for patients
+ treated in the cardiology department during 2024.
1115 +
1116 + #### Symptom
1117 +
1118 + A physical or mental feature perceived by the patient indicating disease or
+ abnormal condition.
1119 +
1120 + Example: Chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue are symptoms that may
+ indicate heart disease.
1121 +
1122 + #### Transparency
1123 +
1124 + The degree to which system operations, decisions, and data are visible and
+ understandable to stakeholders.
1125 +
1126 + Example: Transparency in healthcare pricing allows patients to understand
+ costs before receiving services.
1127 +
1128 + #### Treatment Plan
1129 +
1130 + A structured approach outlining specific interventions, medications, and
+ procedures for managing a patient's condition.
1131 +
1132 + Example: A treatment plan for pneumonia includes antibiotics, rest, fluids,
+ and a follow-up appointment in one week.
1133 +
1134 + #### Treatment Timeline
1135 +
1136 + A chronological representation showing the sequence and timing of medical
+ interventions for a patient.
1137 +
1138 + Example: A treatment timeline displays when a cancer patient received surgery,
+ chemotherapy cycles, and radiation therapy.
1139 +
1140 + #### Unbundling
1141 +
1142 + A fraudulent billing practice of separating procedure components to charge more
+ than the bundled service rate.
1143 +
1144 + Example: Unbundling occurs when a provider bills separately for steps of a
+ surgical procedure that should be billed together.
1145 +
1146 + #### Upcoding
1147 +
1148 + A fraudulent practice of billing for more expensive services than actually
+ provided.
1149 +
1150 + Example: Upcoding happens when a physician bills for an extensive office visit
+ when only a brief consultation occurred.
1151 +
1152 + #### Utilization Review
1153 +
1154 + Evaluation of healthcare services to determine if they are medically necessary and
+ appropriate.
1155 +
1156 + Example: Utilization review may identify that a patient's extended hospital
+ stay is no longer medically necessary for acute care.
1157 +
1158 + #### Value-Based Care
1159 +
1160 + A healthcare payment model rewarding providers for patient health outcomes rather
+ than service volume.
1161 +
1162 + Example: Value-based care contracts pay bonuses to providers who achieve
+ target rates for diabetes control and preventive screenings.
1163 +
1164 + #### Value-Based Payment
1165 +
1166 + Reimbursement systems linking provider compensation to quality metrics and patient
+ outcomes rather than service quantity.
1167 +
1168 + Example: A value-based payment arrangement rewards a clinic for reducing
+ emergency department visits among their diabetic patients.
1169 +
1170 + #### Vector Embedding
1171 +
1172 + A mathematical representation of data as dense numerical vectors capturing
+ semantic meaning and relationships.
1173 +
1174 + Example: Vector embeddings convert patient diagnoses into numbers that
+ position similar conditions near each other in multi-dimensional space.
1175 +
1176 + #### Vector Store
1177 +
1178 + A specialized database optimized for storing and searching high-dimensional vector
+ representations of data.
1179 +
1180 + Example: A vector store enables fast similarity searches to find patients with
+ medical histories similar to a new patient.
1181 +
1182 + #### Vital Sign
1183 +
1184 + A measurable indicator of basic body functions used to assess health status.
1185 +
1186 + Example: Blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and respiratory rate are
+ vital signs measured at each clinical visit.
1187 +
1188 + #### Waste In Healthcare
1189 +
1190 + Unnecessary healthcare spending that does not improve patient outcomes, including
+ overtreatment and inefficiency.
1191 +
1192 + Example: Ordering duplicate lab tests that were already completed recently
+ represents waste in healthcare.
