Publication number: 20150161535Abstract: A system for automating coordinated care management by mapping medical guidelines to clinical workflows and logistical operations may be provided. The system may include a mapping system, a medical guidelines database, a clinical workflow database and a logistical workflow database. The mapping system may receive medical guidelines from the medical guidelines database, generate clinical workflows to be stored in the clinical workflow database, and generate logistical workflows to be stored in the logistical workflow database. The logistical workflows can be generated from clinical workflows or directly from medical guidelines. The system may include a communications system that automatically manages communications between participants in a healthcare system using computer code generated based on the logistical workflows.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2013Publication date: June 11, 2015Applicant: Gary and Mary West Health InstituteInventors: Amnon Ptashek, Erik Tyrrell-Knott, Vikas Tandon, Joseph Martin Smith, Scott Edward Cassidy

Patent number: 6959212Abstract: The present invention provides a system and a method for discriminating supraventricular tachyarrhythmias from ventricular arrhythmias during a tachycardia episode. First cardiac signals and second cardiac signals are sampled for cardiac complexes. A first feature on the first cardiac signal and a second feature on the second cardiac signal are utilized to determine an average time difference for a plurality of normal sinus rhythm complexes. A time difference between the first feature and the second feature is then determined for each cardiac complex of a tachycardiac rhythm. The cardiac complex is characterized as a ventricular tachycardia complex if the time difference exceeds the average time difference by a predetermined amount. Otherwise, it is classified as VT if its morphology after alignment is different from that during normal sinus rhythm.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2001Date of Patent: October 25, 2005Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: William Hsu, Joseph Martin Smith

Patent number: 6728572Abstract: A system and method classify cardiac complexes based on cardiac information derived from two or more cardiac signals. Two or more cardiac signals containing cardiac complexes are monitored. A cardiac complex in the two or more cardiac signals is isolated in an analysis window. The morphology of the cardiac complex in each of the two or more cardiac signals is then compared to the morphology of a template cardiac complex representing a predetermined cardiac condition. Based on this comparison, the cardiac complex is classified as either belonging or not belonging to the predetermined cardiac condition.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2002Date of Patent: April 27, 2004Assignee: Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc.Inventors: William Hsu, Joseph Martin Smith
