Application ID: 12568414

Base Claim:
1. A method for providing a data translation comprising: selecting a transform by receiving a data set comprising a plurality of input strings entered at a particular organization, processing the data set using at least two different transforms each of which defines a corresponding transform rule for transforming free text into a corresponding translated value, comparing results of the processing for each of the at least two different transforms to the rational range, discounting values in the results that are outside the rational range, and selecting, as the selected transform, one of the at least two different transforms that produced more results within the rational range than other transforms; receiving an input string comprising a free text response indicative of a physiologic condition, wherein the free text response is entered by personnel at the organization; and applying the selected transform to the input string, with a processor, to transform the input string into a translated value indicative of a value associated with the physiologic condition for storage in a fact repository, wherein applying the selected transform comprises transforming an initial representation of the input string to the translated value in a standard form of representation, wherein the selected transform is selected from a library of potential transforms by applying the at least two different transforms from the library to the data set and selecting the selected transform from among the library of potential transforms based on results of the selected transform applied to the data set encountered at the respective organization relative to the rational range defined by physiologic limits associated with the physiologic condition and in comparison to results obtained by application of other transforms from the library to the data set.

Claim 4:
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying data falling outside the rational range after translation using the selected transform and selectively: discarding the identified data; presenting the identified data with an indication that the identified data is suspicious; processing the identified data to produce a value within the rational range; or using the identified data without any indication that the identified data is suspicious.
