Abstract: A method for improving a physician's workflow by optimizing the physician's access to patient data during a visit of patients to a medical facility includes an electronic medical record (EMR) processor implementing a Health Value Analytics (HVA) component and receiving inputs from EMR/HVA devices. In response, the EMR processor creates value baselines for patient visits, generates a health care value continuum based on a visit of a first patient to the medical facility, and generates a comparison of the health care value continuum to a value baseline, detects a location, on a display screen of the EMR/HVA device, of an EMR record for the first patient; provides the comparison for display in a location adjacent to the displayed EMR record for the first patient; detects replacement of the EMR record with an EMR record for a second patient; and in response to the replacement, discontinues display of the HVA page.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method analyzes a medical treatment plan for a patient having a medical condition and determines a value of health care of the plan. The method includes a processor executing instructions to enter the patient into an electronic medical records (EMR) system of a medical facility visited by the patient, assign the patient a diagnosis, recording the medical treatment plan, and generate a portal for accessing and displaying the medical treatment plan. The method further includes a health care value analytics (HVA) server accessing and using historical data, generating a value baseline for approved medical treatments of medical conditions addressed by the medical treatment plan, generating one or more HVA data objects that provide a running comparison of the medical treatment plan and the value baseline, and providing the HVA data objects for display through the portal onto an EMR/HVA access device.

Abstract: A processor-implemented method for determining and indicating values of medical treatment plans, includes the processor creating value baselines comprising health metric values for approved plans of care; detecting an activity indicating a patient-related event during a visit associated with a patient; generating a health value continuum based on the visit; generating a comparison of the health value continuum to a value baseline; and providing data and instructions to display on a display page, a representation of the health value continuum to value baseline comparison.
