Claim 22:
23. The computer system of claim 1, wherein the patient data comprises data representing a plurality of medical events for a plurality of patients, wherein data representing a medical event includes a time, and wherein facts about patients may be represented inconsistently in the patient data, the computer system further comprising:
a patient history summarization module comprising computer program instructions stored in the computer storage which, when processed by the processing system, causes the processing system to:
for each patient for a time period:
access, from the source of patient data in the computer storage, data representing medical events for the patient for the time period,
access a library of medical instance definitions stored in the computer storage, wherein each medical instance definition converts one or more medical events into a more general corresponding medical instance,
map the accessed data representing medical events for the patient for the time period into data representing medical instances for the patient for the time period based on the medical instance definitions accessed from the library, thereby producing a data set with reduced dimensions and reduced inconsistency, and
store the data representing the medical instances for the patient for the time period in data structures in the computer storage for further processing by the sub-cohort analysis module.
