Claim One:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a computer processor of a computing device from a plurality of data sources, first health event data associated with a first plurality of heath care records associated with a plurality of patients, said computer processor controlling a cloud hosted mediation system comprising an inference engine software application, a truth maintenance system database, and non monotonic logic, wherein said non monotonic logic comprises code for enabling a Dempster Shafer theory; associating, by said computer processor, portions of said first health event data with associated patients of said plurality of patients; associating, by said computer processor, said portions of said first health event data with related records in said truth maintenance system database; deriving, by said computer processor executing said inference engine software application, first health related assumption data associated with each portion of said portions of said first health event data, wherein said first health related assumption data comprises multiple sets of assumptions associated with said plurality of patients, wherein each set of said multiple sets comprises assumed medical conditions and an associated plausibility percentage value, wherein at least two sets of said multiple sets is associated with each patient of set plurality of patients, wherein a first set of said multiple sets comprises evidence supporting a first fact indicating that a first patient of said plurality of patients has a first medical condition of said assumed medical conditions with a first plausibility percentage value, wherein a second set of said multiple sets comprises evidence supporting a second fact indicating that said first patient has a second medical condition of said assumed medical conditions with a second plausibility percentage value, wherein said first medical condition differs from said second medical condition, and wherein said first plausibility percentage value differs from said second plausibility percentage value; first executing, by said computer processor executing said non monotonic logic, the Dempster Shafer theory with respect to said first set and said second set with respect to said first patient; determining, by said computer processor, based on results of said first executing, that said first set comprises a higher belief assignment value than said second set; generating, by said computer processor based on results of said determining, said deriving and said first executing, an initial diagnosis and treatment recommendation for said first patient, said initial diagnosis and treatment recommendation associated with said first set; retrieving, by said computer processor from said truth maintenance system database, previous health related assumption data derived from and associated with previous portions of previous health event data retrieved from said plurality of data sources, said previous health related assumption data derived at a time differing from a time of said deriving, said previous health related event data associated with previous health related events occurring at a different time from said first health event data; executing, by said computer processor, said non monotonic logic with respect to said first health related assumption data and said previous health related assumption data; additionally executing, by said computer processor executing said non monotonic logic, the Dempster Shafer theory with respect to said first set, said second set, said first patient, and said previous health related assumption data; modifying, by said computer processor based on results of said additionally executing, said first plausibility percentage value of said first set and said second plausibility percentage value of said second set; determining, by said computer processor, based on results of said additionally executing and said modifying, that said second set comprises a higher belief assignment value than said first set; generating, by said computer processor based on said results of said additionally executing and said modifying, an updated diagnosis and treatment recommendation for said first patient; generating, by said computer processor executing said non monotonic logic and said inference engine software application, first updated health related assumption data associated with said first health related assumption data and said previous health related assumption data, wherein said previous health related assumption data, said first health related assumption data, and said first updated health related assumption data each comprise assumptions associated with detected medical conditions of said plurality of patients; and storing, by said computer processor in said truth maintenance system database, said first health related assumption data and said first updated health related assumption data.
