Abstract: A caregiver credentialing system may receive, at a server, a request for creation of a caregiver account from a user device. The server may transmit a request for at least one credential for a caregiver associated with the caregiver account to the user device. The server may receive the at least one credential for the caregiver from the first user device and may create a caregiver account for the caregiver based, at least in part, on the receipt of the at least one credential.

Abstract: A method is provided for activating, on a second network, a terminal having a memory module including a temporary identification datum and being associated in a central database with a first predetermined network. The method includes a first step of authenticating the memory module with the central database by way of the temporary identification datum, a step of determining a new identification datum following an activation of the terminal in the second network, and transmitting this new identification datum to the memory module for storage on the memory module. Also provided are an associated computing entity and a terminal containing the associated memory module.

Abstract: A disease state of a patient population of interest, two or more disease outcomes targeted for improvement, two or more treatments, costs for the two or more disease outcomes targeted for improvement, and costs for the two or more treatments are received. An electronic database is searched for treatment outcome data that provides expected effects of the two or more treatments. Two or more deducible measures are created from the search that are a subset of the two or more treatment outcomes targeted for improvement. Improvement values are assigned to the two or more deducible measures for each treatment of the two or more treatments for a time period based on the expected effects found in the search. Cost values are calculated for each of the two or more deducible measures for no treatment and for each treatment of the two or more treatments for the time period.
