  • Publication number: 20140214444
    Abstract: Methods and training programs for improving the level of quality of care within a healthcare plan. The methods include obtaining medical data from a population of patients within the plan, storing such data in electronic medical records embodied on a computer readable medium, evaluating at least one metric within the data via a computer capable of interpreting said electronic medical records, and presenting a notification if the metric is found to be below a standard for the metric. The training includes evaluating the healthcare plan's current practices, training the healthcare provider in improved practices, providing a system for recording medical documents, and training the healthcare provider in use of the system.

  • Publication number: 20140164018
    Abstract: Methods for administering preventative healthcare measures to a patient population are disclosed. A patient population eligible to receive certain healthcare benefits is defined and thereafter multiple sources of healthcare data are compiled and analyzed to create health profiles for each individual. An objective set of criteria for providing preventative care is provided to eligible members within the patient population and appropriate healthcare is administered to the degree necessary to make sure a sufficient percentage of the population receives adequate healthcare treatment consistent with the recognized, objective healthcare standards. Patients remaining non-compliant are sought for further administration of healthcare until requisite compliance standards are met.

  • Publication number: 20140164020
    Abstract: Healthcare is administered to members/enrollees of a healthcare plan according to objective quality standards. A patient population of eligible members/enrollees is identified and for each member/enrollee, medical information is aggregated via a web-based compilation of medical data from multiple sources that is continuously updated so as to provide an accurate, up-to-date and readily accessible compilation of a member/enrollee past diagnoses, healthcare history, medical procedures, medications and the like. Such member/enrollees are continuously tracked, on an individual basis, and monitored to ensure healthcare is delivered for a variety of specific medical conditions pursuant to objective health program quality criteria.

  • Publication number: 20130144650
    Abstract: A method of administering healthcare to patients with multiple integral diagnoses such that the clinical outcomes and health-related quality of life of said patients are improved while medical costs are minimized. A patient population is first identified. The population is then stratified into specific levels of intervention. Each individual patient is then assigned a Priority Care Nurse Manager who serves to establish communication between the patient, the patient's Primary Care Physician, and any healthcare providers. The most appropriate treatment plan is cooperatively developed and the patient receives treatment according to the plan. The most appropriate treatment may include home care and palliative measures. The patient may appoint a Health Care Agent to make medical decisions for the patient should the patient be unable to make decisions.

  • Publication number: 20120329015
    Abstract: Systems and methods of recording patient's medical documents and training programs for improving medical document recordation. The system includes a computer readable medium capable of storing medical data obtained from patients, including disease codes, a computer with software capable of evaluating the data stored on the computer readable medium for completeness, and a notification system capable of presenting to the user of the system a warning if any of the data is found to be incomplete or incorrect. The training includes evaluating the healthcare provider's current medical documentation process, training the healthcare provider in methods of recording medical documents, providing a system for recording medical documents, and training the healthcare provider in use of the system.
