Publication number: 20210005312Abstract: A health management system includes a processor, a searchable multi-dimensional data representation of the performance of an entire health care delivery system accessible by the processor, in which the performance of every healthcare provider, including downstream providers, that are delivering services is distilled down to a clinically credible measure of actual versus expected performance at analytic points across a comprehensive set of quality outcomes and resource utilization measures wherein the performance matrix has multiple dimensions, and a memory device coupled to the processor and having a program stored thereon for execution by the processor to perform operations. The operations include creating the multi-dimensional data representation to obtain performance measures of a selected healthcare provider and accessing the multi-dimensional data representation to obtain performance measures of the selected healthcare provider.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2020Publication date: January 7, 2021Applicant: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: Richard F. Averill, RICHARD R. FULLER, ELIZABETH C. MCCULLOUGH, KEITH C. MITCHELL, GARRI L. GARRISON

Publication number: 20200126647Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, devices, and techniques for automatically identifying missing or ambiguous information in documentation associated with a patient. For example, a system may include one or more computing devices configured to receive documentation comprising a plurality of documented items related to the patient and determine, based on at least a subset of the plurality of documented items, one or more undocumented items missing from the documentation, wherein the subset of the plurality of documented items and at least one of the one or more undocumented items define a medical concept. The one or more computing devices may also be configured to generate, based on the one or more undocumented items, a code representative of the one or more undocumented items and output the code.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2019Publication date: April 23, 2020Inventors: Jeremy M. Zasowski, David R. Bacon, Keith C. Mitchell, William L. Schofield III

Publication number: 20160034643Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, devices, and techniques for updating medical documentation associated with a patient. In one example, a computerized system for managing medical documentation associated with a patient may include one or more computing devices configured to receive user input responsive to a query presented via a user interface, wherein the user input addresses one or more undocumented items related to the query and determined from a plurality of documented items related to the patient. Responsive to receiving the user input, the one or more computing devices may be configured to generate updated information indicative of the user input and related to the patient, generate indicia indicative of the user input, and output, for display, the indicia.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2014Publication date: February 4, 2016Inventors: Jeremy M Zasowski, David R Bacon, Keith C Mitchell

Publication number: 20160019361Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, devices, and techniques for managing medical documentation associated with a patient. In one example, a computerized system for managing medical information associated with a patient may include one or more computing devices configured to identify one or more potential medical problems with the patient from encounter-related information associated with the patient, generate a list comprising the one or more potential medical problems, and output, for display, the list. The one or more computing devices may also be configured to receive an indication of selection input from a user and associated with at least one of the potential medical problems and update the list of potential medical problems according to the indication of the selection input.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2014Publication date: January 21, 2016Applicant: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: Jeremy M Zasowski, David R Bacon, Keith C Mitchell

Publication number: 20130166318Abstract: Computer-implemented methods of processing medical data are described. The methods comprise selecting cases associated with a first parameter from medical data associated with a plurality of cases, determining a subset of cases associated with a medical facility-acquired condition, and determining another subset cases not associated with the medical facility-acquired condition. Estimated costs associated with those cases associated a medical facility-acquired condition are generated, along with expected costs for these same cases in the absence of the medical facility-acquired condition. Methods further allowing comparisons to data related to normative collections of medical facilities are also disclosed. Computerized systems for processing medical data and computer-readable storage media comprising instructions that when executed in a processor cause the processor to process medical data are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2011Publication date: June 27, 2013Applicant: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: Catherine D.

Patent number: 5327868Abstract: A vehicle engine utilizes adaptive knock retard in which non-volatile memory cells store slowly changed values based on sensed knock to retard ignition timing. Upon engine start, the values in one or more of the memory cells may be reduced in a proportional manner to provide a more advanced engine ignition timing more appropriate to engine warmup. The proportional reduction is based on the sensed engine coolant temperature at the initiation of engine operation, either by itself or through the difference between it and the stored engine coolant temperature from just before the cessation of the last period of engine operation.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 1993Date of Patent: July 12, 1994Assignees: Saturn Corporation, Delco Electronics CorporationInventors: Michael R. Witkowski, Michael L. Velliky, Keith C. Mitchell, Kenneth R. Kridner, William J. Bolander
