Claim 16:
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, further including program code for executing the following steps:
determining a recorded stage of the chronic illness as diagnosed in the first encounter and recorded in the digital health care data for the first patient, wherein the stage of the chronic illness resides on a clinical continuum of stages coinciding with the progression of the chronic illness;
as a result of determining that the chronic illness was recorded in the digital health care data for the first patient for each temporally subsequent health care encounter, determining each stage of the chronic illness as diagnosed during each temporally subsequent health care encounter and recorded in the digital health care data for the first patient;
determining if the stage of the chronic illness diagnosed for each temporally sequent health care encounter has changed more than a predetermined number of stages along the clinical continuum in comparison to stages diagnosed for each prior health care encounter; and
as a result of determining that the stage of the chronic illness diagnosed for temporally each subsequent health care encounter has changed more than the predetermined number of stages along the clinical continuum in comparison to stages diagnosed for each prior health care encounter, generating a temporal inconsistency alert, thereby informing the user that the digital health care data for the first patient is temporally inconsistent with the clinical continuum of the progression of the chronic illness.
