  • Patent number: 11830584
    Abstract: A care estimate module operating on a central computing entity receives a trigger indication (a) comprising patient identifying information and (b) that identifies a service; extracts the patient identifying information from the trigger indication; determines the service; identifies a potential provider that provides the service; and determines a care estimate for the potential provider to provide the service to the patient. The potential provider is identified based on eligibility information associated with the patient, a location associated with the patient, and an address associated with the potential provider. The care estimate is determined based on the eligibility information associated with the patient. The central computing entity generates a care estimate notification that identifies the potential provider and comprises the care estimate; and provides the care estimate notification such that a user computing entity receives the care estimate notification.

  • Patent number: 11804286
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling dissemination of genomic data. One embodiment is a system that stores genomic data. The genomic data for each individual lists genetic variants determined to exist within that individual. The system receives an access request for a segment of genomic data for an individual, analyzes an authentication token within the request, authenticates the request as belonging to an account for a user based on the authentication token, and reviews authorization directives for the individual that indicate how predefined portions of genomic data are shared. The system also transmits the segment of genomic data in response to determining that the authorization directives permit the account to access the segment of genomic data, and prevents transmission of the segment of genomic data in response to determining that the authorization directives do not permit the account to access the segment of genomic data.

  • Patent number: 11488694
    Abstract: A method for predicting a patient outcome from a caretaker episode includes receiving a current episode snapshot of the caretaker episode comprising multi-modal data of the patient from an electronic health records (EHR) system, the multi-modal data including one or more available data modalities and one or more missing data modalities. The multi-modal data is applied as input to an embedding model having a submodel for each of the data modalities. A first embedding is generated for each of the available data modalities. A second embedding is generated for each of the missing data modalities using corresponding embeddings of neighbors in an episode snapshot graph. The first and second embeddings are combined to obtain a complete embedding. The patient outcome is predicted based on the complete embedding for the current episode snapshot using a machine learning component which has been trained using patient outcomes of the historical episode snapshots.

  • Patent number: 11456081
    Abstract: A drug distribution system and method utilizes a central pharmacy and database to track all prescriptions for a sensitive drug. Information is kept in the database regarding all physicians allowed to prescribe the sensitive drug, and all patients receiving the drug. Abuses are identified by monitoring data in the database for prescription patterns by physicians and prescriptions obtained by patients and/or caregivers. Further verification is made that the physician is eligible to prescribe the drug by consulting a separate database, and optionally whether any actions are taken against the physician. Multiple controls beyond those for normal drugs are imposed on the distribution depending on the sensitivity of the drug.
