Patent number: 11711327Abstract: In some examples, user models are generated to represent experience of users with respect to their roles. Models that represent conditions are also generated. As part of generating a support element for a particular user, a triggering event is detected (e.g., an update to a user record), a condition is identified, a condition model and a user model are compared to identify a condition preparedness score. This score is used to generate the support element, which is shared with a user device of the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2020Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: C/HCA, INC.Inventors: William Michael Gregg, Jim Najib Jirjis, Jonathan Perlin, Christopher Mason
