Abstract: An outlier detector that exploits the existing risk structure of the decision problem in order to discover risk assignments that are globally inconsistent is described. The technique works on a set of candidates for which risk categories have already been assigned. In the case of insurance underwriting, the invention pertains to the premium class assigned to an application. For this set of labeled candidates, the system finds all such pairs of applications belonging to different risk categories, which violate the principle of dominance. The invention matches the risk ordering of the applications with the ordering imposed by dominance and uses any mismatch during the process to identify applications that were potentially assigned incorrect risk categories.

Abstract: A method provides for inputting and storing data for a clinical study in a uniform manner by different study locations. Accordingly, the method comprises generation of an input platform program for an input of data of a clinical study, distribution of the input platform to input locations, calling up and activating the input platform program dependent on a participant characteristic linked with a study participant in the clinical study, inputting the data at an input location via an input platform generated by the input platform program, and storing the input data.

Abstract: A system and method for generating and/or updating a personal/individual health record. Inputs of data to the system may come from diverse sources including, but not limited to, patient questionnaires, insurance company (or other payor) claims data, hospitals, clinics and other institutional providers, and individual physicians and physicians' offices.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method, relating to the transfer of patient files over a secure, HIPAA compliant, patient file transfer and outpatient order system and a computer site therefore. The method includes obtaining and compiling a patient record pertaining to a patient; electronically inputting the patient record obtained into a secure computer database containing other patient records, allowing physician access to the patient record wherein the access includes allowing the physician to order outpatient services and send part of the patient information, including certain defined fields for a complete record and to send and receive referrals including certain defined fields for a complete record.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for managing resources of an enterprise, in particular a healthcare enterprise. One aspect of the present invention provides a method and system for remote access and exchange of information for managing enterprise resources using a distributed computing environment such as the Internet or World Wide Web. The system provides real-time management of healthcare facility resources including clinical hours provided per patient per day.

Abstract: A method and system for medical analytics implemented on a computer and designed to aid a medical professional in diagnosing one or more diseases afflicting a patient. In contrast to prior art, the present method is based on using clinical data (m) that excludes subjective qualities of and also excludes prevalence of the one or more diseases (i). The method uses a knowledge base that contains disease (i) models exhibiting clinical data (m). Clinical data present (j) in the patient are input into the computer. Then, clinical data present (j) are matched with clinical data (m) in the knowledge base to enable the computer to compose a differential diagnosis list of ruled in diagnoses (k), where k=1 . . . n, for each of the disease (i) models that exhibits at least one clinical datum (m) that matches at least one clinical datum present (j) in the patient.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided, including an adverse drug reaction (ADR) control server (3) including a processor and a data port. The server is configured to receive from a user (20), via the data port, in a first interaction with the user, a list of one or more current medications, and to send to the user a first medication code responsively to the list. In a second interaction with the user, the server receives the first medication code from the user and an indication of a new medication. The server accesses, by the processor, the list of one or more current medications based on the received first medication code, and generates an adverse drug reaction (ADR) warning based on the list of one or more current medications and the new medication. The server sends the user a new medication code based on the list of one or more current medications and the new medication. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: A risk classification technique that exploits the existing risk structure of the decision problem in order to produce risk categorizations for new candidates is described. The technique makes use of a set of candidates for which risk categories have already been assigned (in the case of insurance underwriting, for example, this would pertain to the premium class assigned to an application). Using this set of labeled candidates, the technique produces two subsets for each risk category: the Pareto-best subset and the Pareto-worst subset by using Dominance. These two subsets can be seen as representing the least risky and the most risky candidates within a given risk category. If there are a sufficient number of candidates in these two subsets, then the candidates in these two subsets can be seen as samples from the two hypothetical risk surfaces in the feature space that bound the risk category from above and below respectively.

Abstract: An electronic documentation system for use in care for a patient given by a health care provider, comprising a documentation device having a digital video recorder directed towards the patient that records digital video images and audio signals concerning the care of the patient. An input interface is provided that accesses a library of patient care categories to select and output one or more patient care categories. A processor communicates with the digital video camera, audio recordings, and the input interface. A data storage device is in communication with the processor and digitally stores the digital video images, audio recordings, and the patient category output by the input interface. A date and time device communicates with the processor to provide a date and time marker correlating to the digital video images, audio recordings and the patient categories output by the input interface.

Abstract: A system and method for generating and/or updating a personal/individual health record. Inputs of data to the system may come from diverse sources including, but not limited to, patient questionnaires, insurance company (or other payor) claims data, hospitals, clinics and other institutional providers, and individual physicians and physicians' offices.

Abstract: A method and system suitable for managing a number of attachments is provided. The method includes the steps of displaying attachment details for the plurality of attachments, displaying a representation of at least a portion of a human body; generating a graphical indicia for each attachment and displaying the indicia at the appropriate location on the human representation; upon receipt of input from a user, displaying at least one task associated with at least one attachment; and upon receipt of input from a user, providing a clinical document or image associated with an attachment.

Abstract: A system and method for generating and/or updating a personal/individual health record. Inputs of data to the system may come from diverse sources including, but not limited to, patient questionnaires, insurance company (or other payor) claims data, hospitals, clinics and other institutional providers, and individual physicians and physicians' offices.

Abstract: A method is disclosed by which pharmacies and physicians are encouraged to select appropriate and effective medications but dissuaded from selecting higher priced medications where more economical versions are available as alternatives, but where physicians and patients can also select such higher priced medications if they so choose and are prepared to pay that higher price. Under this system a single representative price (capitation rate) is calculated by a prescription payment plan manager for a group of related medications, usually including both branded and generic, and that price is paid to a pharmacy for all prescriptions of that group of medications fulfilled under the plan. The representative prices for different groups, including their minimum levels, are periodically reviewed and updated as appropriate.
