Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for management of patient care and research using a combination of value-based methodology and translational research methodology. The system includes software to generate a single outcome measurement, or “Value-Quotient (VQ)” expressing a delivered health value and the associated costs. The software may also include a user interface to generate and manage coordinated care pathways (i.e. tight control scenarios) aimed at complication prevention and disease control. The software also may include functionality for direct task differentiation for provider teams, shifting work load from physicians to trained nurses and administration.
