Abstract

Described herein are techniques for automatically substituting information into orders generated by a data record system prior to persisting the orders in storage of the data record system. The techniques store substitution groups of data entities that store data associated with respective substances (e.g., medications). When order templates (e.g., medication regiments) are generated by the data record system, the techniques automatically modify the order templates (e.g., by substituting data entities in the orders) based on data entity substitution configurations of the substitution groups. Information from the modified order templates is input into orders before the orders are persisted in storage of the data record system.

Description

BACKGROUND Orders may be generated and persisted in storage of a data record system. One example of a data record system is an electronic health record (EHR) system. An EHR may generate medication orders for patients and persist them in storage of the EHR. For example, a physician may use a graphical user interface (GUI) provided by the EHR to submit information specifying parameters of a medication order (e.g., one or more medications to be included in the medication order, instructions for administering the medication(s) to a patient, a time interval at which to administer the medication(s) to the patient, and/or other information). The EHR system may generate an order using the information received through the GUI and persist the order in storage of the EHR system (e.g., by storing the medication order in a storage location associated with a particular patient's health record). The medication(s) indicated by the order may then be administered to a patient based on the information specified in the order. Another example of a data record system is a transaction database used by an e-commerce software application. The software application may generate orders (e.g., resulting from transactions in the software application) and persist the orders in storage of the data record system. The software application may generate an order using information obtained through a GUI provided by the software application (e.g., payment information, customer identification information, specification of item(s) to include in the order) and persist the order in the transaction database (e.g., by storing the order in a queue of orders to be fulfilled). The order may then be fulfilled (e.g., by packaging and shipping item(s) specified by the order). SUMMARY Described herein are techniques for automatically substituting information into orders generated by a data record system prior to persisting the orders in storage of the data record system. The techniques store substitution groups of data entities that store data associated with respective substances (e.g., medications). When order templates (e.g., medication regiments) are generated by the data record system, the techniques automatically modify the order templates (e.g., by substituting data entities in the orders) based on data entity substitution configurations of the substitution groups. Information from the modified order templates is input into orders before the orders are persisted in storage of the data record system. Some embodiments provide a data processing system for automatically substituting information into orders prior to persisting the orders in storage of a data record system, the data record system storing a plurality of data entities storing data associated with a plurality of substances. The data processing system comprises: a computer hardware processor; and memory storing: data indicating a plurality of substitution groups each assigned a subset of the plurality of data entities and including a data entity substitution configuration, the substitution groups including a first substitution group assigned a first subset of data entities sharing a common active ingredient of respective substances; and instructions that, when executed by the computer hardware processor, cause the computer hardware processor to: obtain a first order template generated by the data record system, the first order template indicating a first data entity of the first subset of data entities assigned to the first substitution group; access a first data entity substitution configuration of the first substitution group, the first data entity substitution configuration indicating an instruction to substitute a second data entity of the first subset of data entities in place of the first data entity; modify the first order template based on the first data entity substitution configuration at least in part by replacing the first data entity indicated by the first order with the second data entity to obtain a modified first order template; and persist, in the storage of the data record system, a first order storing information from the second data entity indicated by the modified first order template. Some embodiments provide a method for automatically substituting information into orders prior to persisting the orders in storage of a data record system, the data record system storing a plurality of data entities storing data associated with a plurality of substances. The method comprises using a computer hardware processor to perform: obtaining a first order template generated by the data record system, the first order template indicating a first data entity of a first subset of data entities assigned to a first substitution group of a plurality of substitution groups, the first subset of data entities sharing a common active ingredient of respective substances; accessing a first data entity substitution configuration of the first substitution group, the first data entity substitution co
