At least some of the patient records may include information obtained from mining unstructured patient data. The system includes an output component (208) for outputting quality adherence information. The outputted quality adherence information m ay include reminders, including reminders to take clinical actions in accordanc e with the clinical guidelines. The outputted quality adherence information ma y also include warnings that the clinical guidelines have not been observed.
