Patent number: 11551814Abstract: Evaluating future healthcare event risks of a patient includes receiving, at one or more computers, patient healthcare data for the patient, wherein the patient healthcare data represents a healthcare event and includes one or more healthcare codes, accessing, with the one or more computers, a database that associates the healthcare event and the healthcare codes with risks of potentially preventable healthcare events, and presenting, with the one or more computers, indications of the risks of potentially preventable healthcare events to a user to facilitate mitigation of the risks of potentially preventable healthcare events for the patient.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2015Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Elizabeth C.

Publication number: 20190006045Abstract: 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: December 22, 2016Publication date: January 3, 2019Applicant: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Richard F.

Patent number: 9781168Abstract: The embodiments described herein recite a telephone communication system used for handling information such as messages, typically voice mail messages, and, more particularly, is directed to a system that provides distributed session initiation protocol (SIP) silos. Distributed SIP silos (DSS) is a Communications Application Platform (CAP) feature that maintains the site's call capacity even when a signaling server fails. DSS uses multiple non-redundant signaling servers to provide SIP signaling for the same set of media ports. Because there are multiple signaling servers providing signaling for the same set of ports, the failure of one signaling server only terminates the calls it was actively processing and once those calls have been cleaned up, all the available (non-suspended) ports in the configuration are available to the remaining signaling servers.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2014Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Inventors: Jon P Davis, Lynnette K Evans, Richard L Fuller, Gregory J Small, Scott S Preston

Publication number: 20160055310Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention is directed to a method of processing patient healthcare data, via one or more computers. In some examples, the method comprises receiving, at the one or more computers, patient healthcare data, wherein the patient healthcare data represents a healthcare event and includes one or more healthcare codes. The method may further comprise determining, by the one or more computers and based on the one or more healthcare codes, one or more patient factors associated with the healthcare event. The method may also comprise determining, by the one or more computers and based on the one or more healthcare codes and the one or more patient factors associated with the healthcare event, whether the healthcare event is a potentially preventable healthcare event, wherein the healthcare event comprises one of: an inpatient admission, an emergency room visit, and an outpatient ancillary service.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2014Publication date: February 25, 2016Inventors: Linda A.

Patent number: 5352365Abstract: Scale is removed, and its formation is reduced or prevented in the effluent section of a sewage treatment plant, by adding a solution containing a small amount of phosphonate and a terpolymer of acrylic acid. The treatment is especially effective in anaerobic areas of the plant, which includes transfer lines from sludge handling systems, pumps, piping, valves, overflow lines, and possibly centrifuges, etc., and particularly where the Ca+ 2 exceeds about 600 ppm, and the system alkalinity varies from about pH 6-9.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 1993Date of Patent: October 4, 1994Inventor: Richard L.

Patent number: 5311916Abstract: An annular filler mountable in the well of a one piece car or truck wheel rim for increasing the diameter of the well to a point where that bead seating diameter generally corresponds to the diameter of the tire size which is intended to be mounted on that wheel. Thus when a tire is mounted by placing one portion of its bead into the well while the diametric opposite portion of the tire bead is forced over the rim flange, only a tire having a correct bead seating diameter will be able to pass over the wheel flange and a tire with an incorrect bead seating diameter cannot pass over said flange.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1992Date of Patent: May 17, 1994Assignee: Standards Testing Laboratories, Inc.Inventor: Richard L.
