Abstract: Healthcare costs accumulated across a plurality of claims systems are managed using a centralized accumulator, which receives cost accumulator data for adjudicated claims from multiple sending claim systems. An accumulator record type is identified from the cost accumulator data and used to generate a cross-reference record. The record type includes an adjudicated claim. A routing message is generated for at least one receiving claim system according to the identified accumulator record type, the cost accumulator data received from the sending claim system, and an identity of the at least one receiving claim system. In response to sending the routing message to the receiving claim system, an acknowledgement is received, which is used to update the cross-reference record by the processor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for treating a subject are provided. A first dataset comprising timestamped autonomous glucose measurements of the subject over a first time course is obtained. A second dataset, associated with a standing insulin regimen for the subject over the first time course and comprising insulin medicament records, is also obtained. Each record comprises a timestamped administration event including an amount and type of insulin medicament administered into the subject by an insulin delivery device. The first and second datasets serve to calculate a glycemic risk measure and an insulin sensitivity factor of the subject during the first time course, which are used to obtain a basal rate titration schedule and a fasting blood glucose profile model over a subsequent second time course for the subject. The model predicts the fasting blood glucose level of the subject based upon amounts of insulin medicament administered into the subject.

Abstract: A medical device data back-association system, apparatuses, and methods are disclosed. In an example embodiment, a server receives first medical device data from a medical device including a device identifier and stores the first medical device data to an unassociated record in a database after determining that there is no association between the device identifier and any patient identifier or medication order identifier. While the medical device is administering the medication to a patient, the server receives an identifier message including at least two of the device identifier, the patient identifier, and the medication order identifier. The server creates an identifier association between a medical record of the patient and the medical device using the identifier message. The server uses the identifier association to store subsequent medical device data from the medical device to the medical record of the patient.

Abstract: Healthcare object (HCO) discriminator systems and methods are presented. Systems can obtain a digital representation of a scene via a sensor interface. An HCO discriminator platform analyzes the digital representation to discriminate objects within the scene as being associated with a type of HCO or as being unrelated to a type of HCO. Once the HCO recognition platform determines that a type of HCO is relevant, it instantiates an actual HCO. The HCO can be routed to one or more destinations based on routing rules generated from a template or based on the manner in which the objects in the scene were discriminated.
