Publication number: 20230326587Abstract: A method for developing codes and a cross functional set of rules that suggest to a physician, in real-time, potential diagnoses related to diagnostic results or other clinical data entered into the electronic Medical Record (EMR). The method generates a possible diagnosis for consideration and addition to the patient problem list. When the physician selects a suggested diagnosis, the problem list is automatically updated with the diagnosis. In view of the above, the physician has the needed information at the point of care so that the timeliness, safety and quality of care is improved. The generated documentation also assists other physicians throughout the continuum of care for the Patient. The method creates crosswalk from data element to diagnosis to enhance the completeness of documentation. As a result, the Diagnostic Related Group (DRG) is more accurately assigned by coders at discharge to drive more accurate and efficient billing for improved reimbursement and revenue.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: Steward Health Care System LLCInventors: Ralph de la Torre, Justine M.

Publication number: 20130243733Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, EC progenitors can be used in a method for regulating angiogenesis, i.e., enhancing or inhibiting blood vessel formation, in a selected patient and in some preferred embodiments for targeting specific locations. For example, the EC progenitors can be used to enhance angiogenesis or to deliver an angiogenesis modulator, e.g. anti- or pro-angiogenic agents, respectively to sites of pathologic or utilitarian angiogenesis. Additionally, in another embodiment, EC progenitors can be used to induce reendothelialization of an injured blood vessel, and thus reduce restenosis by indirectly inhibiting smooth muscle cell proliferation.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2011Publication date: September 19, 2013Applicant: Steward St. Elizabeth's Medical Center of Boston, Inc.Inventor: Linda Isner
