  • Patent number: 11978541
    Abstract: Medical information is communicated between different entities. Personalized models of peoples' understanding of a medical field are created. Role information is used to assign user-appropriate ontologies. More information than mere role may be used for assigning ontologies, such as information on past medical history. The concepts and relationships in different ontologies may be linked, providing a translation from one personalized model to another. The terminology with similar or the same concepts and/or relationships is output for a given user based on their model.

  • Patent number: 11887170
    Abstract: Computer-implemented tools, techniques, and algorithms are provided for meeting financial targets in connection with medical procedures (e.g., surgical operations) performed by a healthcare entity. A method for restructuring classification of multiple medical procedures for a healthcare entity may be provided in which medical procedure data including charge related data are collected in association with multiple patient encounters for a medical procedure. A data model is created from the collected data and a predetermined number of procedure charge levels are generated each in association with an acuity resource value range. Each medical procedure is then reclassified into one of the procedure charge levels in accordance with at least one level assignment rule. This reclassification can then be processed to determine whether it results in a predetermined desired data distribution and/or meets financial targets for the medical procedure charge data.

  • Patent number: 11869638
    Abstract: A patient monitoring system helps staff personnel, clinicians and physicians who are making their rounds of patients quickly and accurately enter their reports of patient observations. The patient monitoring system has a monitoring device carried by the staff personnel as they make their rounds which wirelessly communicates with a central server. The monitoring device is populated with patient profile information saved within a centralized server when the monitoring device is in operative communication with the central server and allows the rounding personnel to report their observations back to the server. The monitoring device can also scan a code from a proximity device attached to the patient. The patient information and reported observations are stored by the server in a patient database and are not stored by the monitoring device or by the proximity device which reduces the risk that the patient information will be lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised.

  • Patent number: 11853976
    Abstract: A system to manage records in a healthcare practice includes a server and a memory that stores patient data records and inventory equipment records. A check-in client computing device and first and second HCP client computing devices run apps that program respective devices to check-in patients for appointments, retrieve, and store patient healthcare data at the server. Display screens show approved appointments and the apps sort appointments as selected. The patient check-in app verifies that patients meet check-in requirements and locks the appointments of patients who do not. Apps retrieve patient data for the approved appointments and sort them. The server stores examination, treatment, and prescription data. Equipment inventory delivery data and returns data are stored. The server is programmed to communicate with all apps in their form and format of data and to translate all disparate data types into that form and format.

  • Patent number: 11728013
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to systems and methods for accessing, managing, and exchanging patient information across a plurality of providers that may have various discrete medical record systems, including, but not limited to medical facilities, clinics, ambulatory emergency health systems, and other providers (e.g., heterogeneous healthcare providers). In various embodiments, the system receives a request from a requesting party for one or more records of a particular patient. In response, in one or more embodiments, the system identifies what information (if any) the requester is authorized to receive, retrieves the information the requester is authorized to receive from various discrete medical record systems, then normalizes and aggregates the retrieved information. In a particular embodiment, the system also denormalizes the data (e.g., converts the data to the local format and terms of the requester) before transmitting the retrieved data to the requester.

  • Patent number: 11705231
    Abstract: Systems and methods related to the computerized synthesis of simulated health data are provided. A computing device can receive a respective data model constructed from protected health information (PHI) hosted by a respective health data provider. The computing device can create a state transition machine from the received data model, where a state of the state transition machine represents a health related event of a synthetic life. The computing device can generate a synthetic health data set for each synthetic person in a synthetic population by calculating one or more health related events for each time step in the synthetic life. The computing device can calculate a similarity score by comparing the generated synthetic health data set to an actual health data set. The computing device can adjust the received data model based on the score falling below a threshold similarity, thereby creating an adjusted data model.

  • Patent number: 11701548
    Abstract: A system for physical rehabilitation comprises a clinician interface including a patient profile display presenting data regarding performance of a regimen for a body part. A patient interface presents instructions and status information regarding the performance of the regimen. The patient interface further presents a questionnaire soliciting responses to questions pertaining to current and past physical conditions of the patient. Selected responses to the questions cause the system to take actions, including preventing operation of a treatment apparatus by the patient, and/or transmitting an alert message to a clinician. The alert message may be transmitted within the clinician interface and/or as a real-time message outside of the clinician interface. A questionnaire is presented to the patient in response to occurrence of a triggering event pertaining to the patient's use of the treatment apparatus.
