Abstract: Techniques presented herein disclose a method for generating a derived observation for a care plan assigned to a patient. According to one embodiment, an application executing on a care platform server receives an event log having a plurality of events. Each event includes one or more types of biometric data for the patient. The care plan includes one or more definitions for metrics that are derived from the one or more types of biometric data. A temporal slice of the event log is selected based on one or more of the definitions. The derived metrics are generated by evaluating events within the selected temporal slice of the event log against one or more of the definitions. A condition of the patient is evaluated based on the derived metrics.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing treatment of children with a congenital cyanotic heart condition such as Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) including determining predicted survival probabilities within a timeframe wherein patients await medical treatment such as surgical correction, based on amounts of a biomarker, such as BNP (brain natriuretic peptide) in serial samples of blood plasma from the subject and determining a Tetralogy of Fallot Index (TOFI®) score from the biomarker values. Some embodiments use TOFI score to determine severity and include scheduling and prioritizing medical treatment for patients based on the severity. In some embodiments, the TOFI score is calculated from a plurality of biomarker measurements, which are log-transformed and z-score transformed, by a mathematical survival predictive model, such as a Cox Proportional Hazards model.

Abstract: An exception-based integrated patient access workflow via a single user interface is provided. When patient data associated with a healthcare encounter is received, various rules may be applied to cross-check the received data with other stored and received data to ensure correct patient data and to ensure accurate information for downstream patient access workflow processes. An indication of discrepant data, missing data, or input/user-interaction that may be needed for performance of a patient access workflow process may be provided. The indication may be provided via alerts displayed in an integrated user interface. Accordingly, a user may be able to address and resolve alerts to ensure patient access workflow processes are performed prior to a healthcare encounter.

The server(s) may include: an artificial intelligence (AI) component for analyzing the personal medical data with the medical information and identifying at least one issue requiring follow-up by the patient or by at least one external authorized entity; and at least one real-time communication link for bi-directional communication with at least one external authorized entity.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for facilitating the voice-assisted creation of a shorthand clinical note on a mobile or tablet device. A microphone on the device is used to capture a conversation between a clinician and a patient. Clinically-relevant concepts in the conversation are identified, extracted, and temporarily presented on the device's touch screen interface. The concepts are selectable, and upon selection, the selected concept is populated into a clinical note display area of the touch screen interface. The shorthand clinical note may be used as a memory prompt for the later creation of a more comprehensive clinical note.

Abstract: A business model for facilitating the deployment of prescription validation systems into pharmacies is installed in pharmacies for little or no up-front cost to the pharmacy. Instead, the pharmacy is charged on a per use basis, that is, charged every time a prescription is validated in the system. In this way, the system vendor obtains payment on a subscription-like basis. Up-front costs at the pharmacy are avoided. Moreover, risks to a pharmacy concerning maintenance and slow productivity are avoided, or shifted onto the system owner, who is able to assess those risks.

Abstract: A system for documenting and coding diagnostic and interventional procedures for hospital and physician reimbursement, and automating the process of documenting and coding so that the two steps are unified into a singular activity. The computer-based system provides a graphical user interface allowing the physician to input details pertinent to the diagnostic and interventional procedures in an interactive manner. The computer program provides active guidance that enforces specification of details required to justify medical necessity of each performed procedure. Based on the physician's procedure entry, the program generates the resulting CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes and their accompanying documentation, thereby eliminating the opportunity for error. The program produces reports ready for submission for reimbursement.

Abstract: Provided herein are various systems and methods for monitoring how users interact with medical imaging exams to automatically determine the view order and importance of various series within medical imaging exams as a function of a particular user, exam type, clinical information, and/or other characteristic of medical data.

Abstract: Disclosed are the embodiments for creating a model capable of identifying one or more clusters in a healthcare dataset. An input is received pertaining to a range of numbers. Each number in the range of numbers is representative of a number of clusters in the healthcare dataset. For a cluster, one or more first parameters of a distribution associated with the cluster are estimated. Thereafter, a threshold value is determined based on the one or more first parameters. An inverse cumulative distribution of each of one or more n-dimensional variables in the healthcare dataset is determined. The one or more first parameters are updated to generate one or more second parameters based on the estimated inverse cumulative distribution. A model is created for each number in the range of numbers based on the one or more second parameters.

Abstract: Methods and systems for maintaining pharmacy provider networks are described. In one embodiment, claims adjudication data associated with a member and a prescribed drug is accessed. The prescribed drug associated with the member is classified as one of an acute medication and a maintenance medication. A pharmacy provider network is associated with the prescribed drug based on, at least in part, classifying the prescribed drug. It is determined if a pharmacy associated with the claims adjudication data is included within the pharmacy provider network associated with the prescribed drug. A pharmacy claim may be adjudicated for the prescribed drug based on the claim and the pharmacy provider network. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.

Abstract: A predictive system and method for using a physician's existing patient database to more effectively and efficiently identify potential candidates for medical treatments or clinical research trials. The system and method includes an automated three-tiered qualification process using information about a specific medical treatment received from a company looking for potential candidates for the medical treatment wherein potential candidates are initially prequalified by comparing the information about the medical treatment to the information contained in a physician's patient database. The potential candidates that are identified by the first tier of the qualification process then answer additional questions from a patient screening survey. Finally, additional questions from a physician consultation questionnaire are completed by the referring physician's office.
