Publication number: 20240127305Abstract: Aspects include a pre-service optimization system that provides timely and accurate estimate information to clients. Responsive to an indication of an order for a service, the system may generate an estimate of service costs, including the client responsibility amount, generate an elasticity estimate corresponding to the estimate including an indication of how likely the estimate is to change, a range within which the estimate is likely to change, and information about trigger points that affect the possible variability of the estimate. The system may push a notification to the client that includes a link to access the estimate and elasticity estimate. The notification may be delivered to the client in real time or near-real time as the estimate is generated. The system may further provide a user interface via which the client can access the estimate and elasticity estimate, and to access scheduling, payment, and financial assistance functionalities.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Edmond Chase Pilkington, Spiro E.

Patent number: 11102311Abstract: A downtime registration service is discussed herein that enables client systems that rely on electronic record management systems to continue generating records during a downtime event for the electronic record management system without relying on a workaround that requires temporary identifiers or reentry of data. The downtime registration system improves the efficiency and accuracy of electronic systems because workarounds that involve using temporary identifiers, or reentering data collected during the downtime, increase the amount of work done and the chance for errors to be introduced into the records. The client systems are in communication with an outside facility providing advanced services, which track the records generated during normal operation (i.e., not downtime) so that new records created during downtime properly reuse existing record identifiers or assign new identifiers that correspond to the clients' record keeping policies.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Experian Health, Inc.Inventors: Kassandra Marie Kurth, Edmond Chase Pilkington, Abby Curtis

Patent number: 11080110Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure track and monitor automated system events, user-initiated events, and outcomes associated with system events and user-initiated events for providing real-time or near real-time measurements and insights. According to examples, a system is provided that is operative or configured to collect specific events and associated data associated with events that occur within various systems and products. The data is captured, aggregated, and stored in in-memory data storage. Accordingly, the data can be represented and displayed in a dashboard interface in real-time or near real-time. Accordingly, inefficient polling, long-running queries, and scheduled tasks can be eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Experian Health, Inc.Inventors: Edmond Chase Pilkington, David Stephen Phoebus, Gregory Scott MacKenzie, Michael Peter Ochs, Jason Harrison Wallis, Kassandra Marie Kurth

Patent number: 10733546Abstract: Tracking the process of a client activity via an electronic system involves the provision of user interfaces by which data are communicated to user. Optimizing the generation of these user interfaces in a cloud-based system reduces processing resources required by the cloud-based portion, improves the user experience on the local portions, and improves the data collected by users. Using, as described herein, historical data known to the cloud-based portion related to both the user and the client, the user interfaces are updated to show progress of the activity and to organize the tasks for the given user in an optimal arrangement. Reports may also be generated regarding the efficacy of the users in shepherding the activity to completion in a more efficient manner. Various user interface elements are integrated into the cloud-based system for quick provision of activity and task statuses to the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2016Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: EXPERIAN HEALTH, INC.Inventors: Edmond Chase Pilkington, David Stephen Phoebus, Aniss Driss, Julie F. Radtke, Keith Daniel Wenzler, Michael Ryan Kirton

Patent number: 10701057Abstract: An assembly management system allows a software service provider (SSP) to compile and upload client-specific client application code into a repository. The SSP deploys a client application comprising non-client-specific code to various clients. When a user logs in, a call is made to a web service, which queries the repository for code specific to the requesting client. If available, the web service sends a response with the name and version of the assembly to which the client is subscribed. If the locally-saved version does not match the version of the assembly in the repository, and if the SSP has permission to write to the client's disk, the web service retrieves the assembly and commits it to the disk. If the SSP does not have permission, the assembly is streamed to the client device and retained and executed in memory for the duration of the login.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2019Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: EXPERIAN HEALTH, INCInventors: Michael Peter Ochs, Edmond Chase Pilkington, Thomas Ryan Sears, David Stephen Phoebus

Patent number: 10410305Abstract: An exception-based integrated patient access workflow via a single user interface is provided. When patient data associated with a healthcare encounter is received, various rules may be applied to cross-check the received data with other stored and received data to ensure correct patient data and to ensure accurate information for downstream patient access workflow processes. An indication of discrepant data, missing data, or input/user-interaction that may be needed for performance of a patient access workflow process may be provided. The indication may be provided via alerts displayed in an integrated user interface. Accordingly, a user may be able to address and resolve alerts to ensure patient access workflow processes are performed prior to a healthcare encounter.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2013Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: EXPERIAN HEALTH, INC.Inventors: Edmond Chase Pilkington, Joseph M. Magee, III, Howard Bright, Michael Moreau, Lance Mansfield, Marcus Padgett

Patent number: 10362135Abstract: Aspects described herein pertain to monitoring and/or remediating operational components distributed throughout a distributed computer architecture, but is not so limited. A disclosed system provides monitoring information associated with a plurality of monitored server computers, wherein the monitoring information includes processing data, storage data, control data, and/or error data to quantify an operational state of one or more of the monitored server computers. A disclosed method monitors information associated with a plurality of monitored server computers, wherein the monitoring information includes processing data, storage data, control data, and the error data to quantify an operational state of one or more of the monitored server computers.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2017Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: EXPERIAN HEALTH, INCInventors: Brian McNeese, Edmond Chase Pilkington, David Stephen Phoebus, Jeffery Henson, Jason Harrison Wallis, Michael Peter Ochs

Patent number: 10354211Abstract: Account prioritization for a patient access workflow is provided. The patient access workflow may be an exception-based integrated workflow. An indication of discrepant data, missing data, or input/user-interaction that may be needed for performance of a patient access workflow process for a patient account may be provided via alerts displayed in an integrated user interface. A prioritization engine may determine a priority score for a patient account based on various determining factors and weightings applied to each determining factor. The patient account may be placed in a queue of accounts needing to be cleared in order by priority score, such that when a user selects to receive a next account to clear, the account with the highest priority score may be provided to the user. Accordingly, a user may be able to address and resolve alerts to ensure patient access workflow processes are performed prior to a healthcare encounter.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2013Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: PASSPORT HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS INC.Inventors: Edmond Chase Pilkington, Joseph M.
