  • Patent number: 11037682
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for administering health care assessments to a patient. The mechanisms analyze patient information stored in a patient registry and determine a plurality of health care assessments to be administered to the patient based on the patient information and one or more pre-defined health care assessment guidelines specifying conditions for which health care assessments are to be administered to patients and timing for administering the assessments to the patients. The mechanisms generate a sequence of health care assessments, in the plurality of health care assessments, based on the guidelines and the patient information. The sequence comprises an ordering of the health care assessments, and a timing interval between health care assessments, determined based on the guidelines and the patient information. The mechanisms administer at least one health care assessment to the patient in accordance with the determined sequence of health care assessments.

  • Publication number: 20170300637
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for implementing a personalized patient care plan (PPCP) system. The PPCP system obtains personal and medical information about the patient and generates a patient registry record in a patient registry. The PPCP system generates a PPCP for the patient, comprising a sequence of goals for the patient, based on an analysis of the obtained personal and medical information. Each goal has an associated patient action to be performed by the patient. The PPCP system monitors performance of the goals to determine, for each goal, whether the associated patient action is performed by the patient. In response to determining that the patient did not perform an associated patient action, the PPCP system modifies a goal of the personalized patient care plan to replace the associated patient action with a replacement patient action that is more likely to be performed by the patient.

  • Publication number: 20170300662
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for implementing a personalized patient care plan (PPCP) system. The PPCP system obtains personal and medical information about a patient of interest and generates a patient registry record in a patient registry based on the obtained personal and medical information. The patient registry comprises a plurality of patient registry records corresponding to a plurality of patients. The PPCP system performs a historical analysis of at least one patient registry record to identify elements of one or more personal care plans which were able to be successfully achieved by at least one corresponding patient. The PPCP system generates a personalized patient care plan for the patient of interest, comprising a sequence of patient actions to be performed by the patient of interest, based on an analysis of the obtained personal and medical information in the patient registry record and results of the historical analysis.

  • Publication number: 20170286640
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for implementing a personalized patient care plan (PPCP) system. The PPCP system obtains demographic and medical information about the patient and automatically generates an initial patient care plan for the patient, comprising a sequence of goals for the patient, based on an analysis of the obtained demographic and medical information for the patient. The PPCP system obtains lifestyle information, characterizing a lifestyle of the patient, from a plurality of lifestyle information sources. The PPCP system modifies the initial patient care plan to include one or more patient actions specific to the patient based on the lifestyle information, thereby generating a personalized patient care plan. In addition, the PPCP system outputs the personalized patient care plan to a patient computing device.
