  • Patent number: 11810165
    Abstract: A computerized analysis system includes a data retrieval module, a spike filter module, a chargemaster analysis module, and an alert module. The data retrieval module is configured to retrieve claimline data for a period of time from an input data store. The claimline data includes billing codes and prices of the billing codes associated with a provider. The spike filter module is configured to flag and filter price spikes in the claimline data. The chargemaster analysis module is configured to determine whether a changepoint exists in the billing codes in the claimline data. The chargemaster analysis module is configured to identify a chargemaster increase for the provider in response to a statistical parameter of changepoints exceeding a threshold. The alert module is configured to, in response to identification of a chargemaster increase, publish an alert that a chargemaster increase has occurred for the provider.

  • Patent number: 11810164
    Abstract: An analysis system includes a data retrieval module that retrieves claimline data for a period of time. The claimline data includes multiple billing codes and corresponding prices associated with a provider. An analysis module receives the claimline data from the data retrieval module, determines whether a changepoint exists in the billing codes in the claimline data, determines a statistical parameter of changepoints per day during the period of time, and identifies a chargemaster increase for the provider in response to the statistical parameter of changepoints exceeding a threshold. An alert module, in response to identification of a chargemaster increase, publishes an alert that a chargemaster increase has occurred. The alert includes the provider's identification, a chargemaster increase date, a claimline number, a changepoint number, the billing code identification, or a price of the billing code at the changepoint. The alert transforms a user interface displayed to a user.

  • Patent number: 11793703
    Abstract: An exoskeleton system and associated components are described herein. The exoskeleton system assists a user in lifting and/or bending to perform various operations. Components of the exoskeleton system can include a force device, a release mechanism, and a leg differential system. The force device includes a gas spring and a compression spring to store and release energy to assist a user of the exoskeleton system, the force device having a smooth force profile with no initial loading. The release mechanism disengages and re-engages the force device when actuated by a user. The leg differential system enables walking while wearing the exoskeleton system and equally loads different force devices of the exoskeleton system when a user's legs are displaced relative to one another.

  • Patent number: 11793374
    Abstract: A reconfigurable surface cleaning apparatus includes a floor cleaning unit comprising a surface cleaning head, and a hand vacuum cleaner. The reconfigurable surface cleaning apparatus is operable in a floor cleaning mode in which the hand vacuum cleaner is mounted to a rigid wand of the floor cleaning unit and operated using an energy storage member of the hand vacuum cleaner, and also operable in an above floor cleaning mode in which the hand vacuum cleaner is disconnected from air flow with the floor cleaning unit and operated using the energy storage member. A cross-sectional area through the rigid wand is less than a cross-sectional area through an upstream portion of an airflow path of the hand vacuum cleaner. A velocity of air travelling through the wand in the floor cleaning mode is greater than a velocity of air flow through the upstream portion in the above floor cleaning mode.
