Publication number: 20200219611Abstract: A method may include identifying a shift associated with a clinician by applying a machine learning model trained to identify, based on a series of transaction records associated with the clinician, one or more shifts associated with the clinician. The clinician may be identified as likely to engage in a hazardous behavior based at least on the shift associated with the clinician. In response to determining that the clinician as likely to engage in the hazardous behavior, activating a protective workflow. The protective workflow may be configured to prevent the clinician from engaging in the hazardous behavior as well as to collect evidence associated with the hazardous behavior. Related methods and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2020Publication date: July 9, 2020Inventors: Abhikesh Nag, Cynthia Yamaga

Publication number: 20190341142Abstract: A peer network may include nodes corresponding to different clinicians. An edge may interconnect the two nodes based on the corresponding clinicians sharing at least one common attribute such as for example, treating the same patients and/or interacting with the same medical devices. A machine-learning model may be applied to identify, in the peer network, one or more peer communities of clinicians. The activity pattern of a clinician may be compared to the activity patterns of other clinicians in the same peer community to determine whether that clinician exhibits anomalous behavior. An investigative workflow may be triggered when the clinician is determined to exhibit anomalous behavior. The investigative workflow may include generating an alert, activating surveillance devices, and/or isolating medication accessed by the clinician.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2019Publication date: November 7, 2019Inventors: Abhikesh Nag, Cynthia Yamaga

Publication number: 20190244699Abstract: A method for detecting diversion may include receiving, from a dispensing cabinet including medication, data associated with a plurality of individuals accessing the dispensing cabinet to retrieve and/or return the medication. Diversion of the medication may be detected by at least applying, to at least a portion of the data received from the dispensing cabinet, a machine learning model trained to detect diversion. An identity of a first individual responsible for the diversion may be determined based on the data received from the dispensing cabinet. In response to the determination of the first individual as being responsible for the diversion, an investigative workflow may be triggered at the dispensing cabinet. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including apparatuses and computer program products, are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2018Publication date: August 8, 2019Inventors: Scott Loebig, Cynthia Yamaga, Abhikesh Nag

Patent number: 10064579Abstract: A system and method of managing therapy provided to patients in an institution. The system monitors all aspects of the medication delivery to a patient, as well as other information related to the patient, such as values of vital signs, laboratory results and patient factors such as history, diagnosis, allergies and the like. The system includes one or more databases of information, including institutionally developed rules, guidelines and protocol representing the best medical practices of the institution. The system provides alerts and/or recommendations based on the application of the rules to the information being monitored, and alerts care givers accordingly, providing for dynamic adjustment of the patient's therapy. The system also monitors the status of the alerts, and if no action is taken in a selected period of time, may escalate the priority of the alert and/or halt the delivery of medication to the patient until the alert is resolved.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2016Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: CareFusion 303, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Condurso, Cynthia Yamaga, Robert Butterfield, Simon Morling, Clifton Pait, Patricia West, Timothy W.

Publication number: 20140330581Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating and implementing multi-disciplinary treatment plans, which can allow healthcare and medical professionals and providers of various disciplines to collaborate in forming a patient treatment plan and subsequently managing patient care in accordance with this plan. Patient information is first received in a patient planning system. A team of multi-disciplinary healthcare or medical professionals and providers meet and collaborate to form a treatment plan which is then entered in the treatment planning system. As the course of treatment progresses, the treatment plan can be updated in the treatment planning system by each of the team members. The graphical user interface seen by the team members will typically be the same for each team member. This interface includes a generalized treatment planning section and a patient-specific section, each of which can be manipulated to add or update a treatment plan for a particular patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2013Publication date: November 6, 2014Applicant: Medsphere Systems CorporationInventors: Edmund Billings, Steven Marks, Cynthia Yamaga
