Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions executable by a processor. The set of instructions is operable to receive a set of data relating to a current symptom of a patient; determine one of a current level of breathlessness and a current level of edema for the patient based on the received data; and provide an alert to one of the patient and a medical professional, if the determined one of the current level of breathlessness and the current level of edema is greater than an acceptable level.

Abstract: A system for ordering a list of cases to be discussed in a meeting comprises an urgency unit (1) for determining a level of urgency of a case based on case information (50) and a set of rules (51), wherein the level of urgency relates to an urgency to discuss the case. An order unit (2) is arranged for determining an order of a plurality of cases that are the subject of at least one meeting, based on the level of urgency. The set of rules (51) represents at least part of a procedure (52), and the urgency unit (1) comprises a procedure unit (3) for determining a position of the patient case in the procedure (52) based on the case information (50). The urgency unit (1) is arranged for determining the level of urgency in dependence on the position of the patient case in the procedure (52).

Abstract: A medical system (10) and method (50) calculate holistic financial risks to caregiving facilities. Healthcare data for a caregiving facility is received. A first set of one or more key performance indicators (KPIs) is received relating regulatory data to financial risk to the caregiving facility from government regulations. A second set of one or more KPIs is received relating non-regulatory data to financial risk to the caregiving facility from one or more sources other than government regulations. The first and second sets of KPIs are simultaneously applied to the healthcare data to determine a net risk from both government regulations and other sources of financial risk.

Abstract: A method of selecting a solution, comprises identifying a set of performance indicators that are correlated with a quality indicator. A target value is set for at least one of the performance indicators, based on a target in respect of the quality indicator. A plurality of solutions is selected, wherein a solution is associated with an effect on said at least one of the performance indicators for which a target value was set. At least one solution is selected of the plurality of solutions based on the target value of said at least one of the performance indicators and the effect of the selected at least one solution on said at least one of the performance indicators. A scenario is simulated with a particular value of at least one of the performance indicators, to obtain a predicted value of the quality indicator.

Abstract: A system for analyzing an action is disclosed. An action input unit (1) is arranged for enabling a user (10) to indicate a proposed action in respect of a subject. A status unit (2) is arranged for retrieving status information relating to a status of the subject from a data record. A knowledge unit (3) is arranged for retrieving a representation of knowledge from a knowledge base (12), wherein the knowledge relates possible statuses with possible actions. A matching unit (4) is arranged for matching the action and the status information with the knowledge, to obtain a representation of relevant knowledge in support of the action. An explanation output unit (5) is arranged for generating an explanation comprising at least one representation of relevant knowledge obtained by the matching unit (4).
