  • Patent number: 11810665
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for customization of management of population health. A population tracking builder application is provided as a single application that allows users to completely customize population management. In particular, populations may be added or changed, algorithms for monitoring the populations may be added or changed to meet a user's needs or completely removed, specific variables of algorithms may be edited, and the like. This provides user's flexibility to customize population management tools at any time.

  • Patent number: 11688510
    Abstract: A computerized system customizes patient care workflows for health service providers. The system may extract essential details from various health service records for an individual, transform those details into standardized information, and use the standardized information to generate health service workflows that are particular to the patient. The health service workflows may be customized to a particular health service venue, a particular health service provider role, or even a particular health service provider.

  • Publication number: 20160224734
    Abstract: Decision support services relating to palliative care are provided including identifying patients who potentially would benefit from a palliative care program, providing palliative care to a population of patients, and managing care of the population. Patients may be identified using a combination of patient-centric data and evidence-based logic to determine patients who likely qualify for palliative care. The identified patients may be stratified or subdivided into one or more categories, so that corresponding palliative care programs may be identified and patient care may be prioritized. These identified patients may then be matched with suitable health care providers. Additional palliative care services are described for generating palliative care workflows, patient worklists, managing patient transitions, referrals, and assignments.

  • Publication number: 20150228043
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer storage media, and graphical user interfaces for population health management are disclosed. The population health management system may allow for cross-continuum tracking and subsequent interactions with transactional systems, providers, and/or patients. The population health management system may include utilizing clinically relevant algorithms to populate registries to enable healthcare providers to better facilitate care for a population of patients. The population health management system may consolidate and provide comprehensive condition-specific and/or patient situation specific information that is accessible and updatable across venues. The population health management system may create cross venue antibiograms based on medications information and susceptibility results which can be filtered for selected demographics.

  • Publication number: 20140310012
    Abstract: Systems, methods, computer-readable media, and graphical user interfaces for centralizing protocol guidance and documentation for a healthcare event are provided. In embodiments, protocols corresponding to healthcare events are received. Upon determining a particular healthcare event has occurred for a patient, a clinician is prompted to perform an action in accordance with the protocol. Information associated with the patient is received and, based on the information, a next action is selected. The clinician is prompted to perform the next action. In embodiments, an inventory of items used for the protocol is maintained and compared against a stock of items to determine when the stock of items needs to be restocked.

  • Publication number: 20140200915
    Abstract: Readmission risks of patients admitted to a healthcare facility are determined using a generic readmission risk algorithm. The readmission risk assessment of patients may be based on portions of a patient's profile and may be performed before, during, and after their index admission. Based on the readmission risk assessment of patients, those patients that are at a greater risk for readmission may be identified. A readmission prevention worklist may be provided that identifies those patients and facilitates managing the risk of readmission for those patients.
