Patent number: 8751257Abstract: A readmission risk prediction model is generated and used for identifying patients having elevated risk of readmission and determining inpatient treatment and outpatient activities based on readmission risk. Readmission risk prediction models may be generated for a variety of different clinical conditions using logistic regression techniques. When a patient is admitted to a hospital, the patient's condition is identified and a corresponding readmission risk prediction model is employed to identify the patient's risk of readmission. The readmission risk may be presented to a clinician and employed to recommend interventions intended to treat the patient and reduce the probability of readmission for the patient. The patient's readmission risk may also be calculated after the patient has been discharged and used for planning outpatient activities for the patient.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2010Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Cerner Innovation, Inc.Inventors: Robert Charles Amland, Hugh Ryan, Jason Howard, Bharat Sutariya

Publication number: 20120166222Abstract: A method, system, medium, and graphical user interface are provided for managing treatment of patients on anticoagulant medications. Patients undergoing anticoagulant treatment are identified. A consolidated list of anticoagulant patients is generated. The list includes patient information, prescribed anticoagulant medications, reasons for treatment, and laboratory test values, among other data. It is determined that a laboratory test result associated with an anticoagulant medication is outside of a desired range. Guidelines associated with provision of the medication are identified and provided to a clinician via a graphical user interface. The GUI provides a centralized consolidated presentation of anticoagulant patient information that allows clinicians to more easily access the information and to more quickly identify activities to be performed for anticoagulant patients. Clinicians may also enter or change orders, document treatment, and receive alerts regarding treatment of anticoagulant patients.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2010Publication date: June 28, 2012Applicant: CERNER INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: Jason Howard, Hugh Ryan

Publication number: 20120016685Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media are provided for enabling management of a patient's blood when the patient has a scheduled elective procedure. Blood test results are received for the patient and are recorded in the patient's electronic medical record (EMR). It is determined that the elective procedure is associated with a high risk of blood loss. Based on the blood test results, it is determined that the patient requires blood treatment prior to the elective procedure. Blood treatment instructions are automatically determined and are displayed on the patient's EMR such that the clinician associated with the patient can review the instructions and determine if the patient will receive any or all of the recommended blood treatment prior to the elective procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2010Publication date: January 19, 2012Applicant: CERNER INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: HUGH RYAN, JASON HOWARD, BHARAT SUTARIYA

Publication number: 20120016686Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media are provided for enabling management of a patient's blood when the patient has been admitted to a healthcare facility but does not have a scheduled procedure. A patient who is admitted to the healthcare facility is identified and based on the patient's red blood cell measurements, it is determined that the patient is anemic. It is determined that the patient requires blood treatment based on these red blood cell measurements. Blood treatment instructions are determined by way of algorithms, and these instructions are displayed in the patient's electronic medical record such that a clinician can determine, based on the recommended instructions, which interventions to administer to the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2010Publication date: January 19, 2012Applicant: CERNER INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: HUGH RYAN, JASON HOWARD, BHARAT SUTARIYA

Patent number: 7878141Abstract: The present invention is directed to an airbag system that a user can deploy to reduce the chances of being buried in an avalanche or if buried, likely being buried near the surface, thereby improving the user's chances of surviving the experience. In one embodiment, the airbag system is comprised of an inflatable balloon, a pressure gas cylinder for holding a pressurized gas that is used in inflating the balloon, a valve that can be placed in a closed state to retain a pressurized gas in the pressure gas cylinder or an open state in which pressurized gas is released from the pressure gas cylinder. The system further comprises an ejector that operates to use pressurized gas received from the pressure gas cylinder and ambient air to inflate the balloon. Also part of the system is a flow restrictor that is located to receive pressurized gas from the pressure gas cylinder before the ejector receives the gas. A harness supports the noted elements of the system adjacent to an individual's body.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2009Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: Backcountry Access, Inc.Inventors: Dwayne Ralph Paynton, Jason Howard Cloyd, Bruce Jencks Edgerty, Eric Steven Moore

Patent number: 7873658Abstract: A method in a data processing system for propagation of filter expressions across multi-layered systems. If a selection criteria expression in a data request received by a first data processing engine from an application is incompatible with selection criteria expressions of a second data processing engine, the data request and the portion of the selection criteria expression that is compatible with selection criteria expressions of the second data processing engine is transmitted to the second data processing engine. If the second data processing engine received a message that matches the compatible portion of the selection criteria expression, the message that matches is transmitted to the first data processing engine. If the message that matches the compatible portion also matches the portion of the selection criteria expression that is incompatible with the selection criteria expressions of the second data processing engine, the message that matches is transmitted to the application.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2007Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jason Howard Cornpropst, Kevin Allen Kizer, Denilson Nastacio

Publication number: 20050024022Abstract: A method of charging a battery is provided that alters the amount of energy stored within the battery based upon a temperature profile across time. Battery materials and components, like liquid electrolyte or electrodes for instance, can be damaged when a rechargeable cell is exposed to elevated temperatures for extended amounts of time, thereby reducing the overall amount of energy that may be stored within the cell. This method monitors stored energy capacity and temperature. When a fully-charged cell is held at a temperature that exceeds a predetermined temperature threshold for an extended amount of time, the method discharges the cell, thereby reducing the amount of energy stored within the cell. For example, when a single, lithium-ion cell is maintained at 4.2 V for over 10 hours, the method will discharge the cell by roughly 1% or 50 mV. The discharge may be either automatic, or at the prompt of a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2003Publication date: February 3, 2005Inventors: Jason Howard, Hossein Maleki
