  • Patent number: 11328806
    Abstract: An apparatus tracks patient recovery following an orthopedic procedure. A statistical computing engine implements a predictive model of the patient's post-procedural state for the orthopedic procedure based on a database of patient demographic data, comorbidities, pre-procedural walking parameters, including steps taken, and the orthopedic procedure that the patient is undergoing. The pre-procedural walking parameters are populated from physical sensor data automatically collected from the patient. The predictive model creates a temporal trendline of post-procedural walking parameters, including steps taken, and a temporal trendline of post-procedural pain level. A processor then compares the patient's actual post-procedural state to the predictive model of the patient's post-procedural state. The post-procedural walking parameters are also obtained from the physical sensor.

  • Patent number: 11183275
    Abstract: A patient case may be evaluated whenever new information is received or as scheduled. Evaluation may include resolving a Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) code and determining a CDI scoring approach based at least in part on a result from the resolving. Resolving a DRG code may include determining whether a DRG code is associated with the patient case. If no DRG code is found, the system may search for an International Classification of Diseases code or ask a user to select or assign a DRG code. Using the determined CDI scoring approach, a first score may be generated and adjusted by at least one of length of stay, documentation accuracy, payer, patient location, documentation novelty, review timing, case size, or documentation sufficiency. The adjusted score may be normalized and presented to a CDI specialist, perhaps with multiple CDI scores in a sorted order.
