Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for developing an individual-specific patient baseline for a target patient. An exemplary method involves: determining one or more acuity scores for the target patient; identifying patient health data corresponding to one or more low acuity time periods; storing retrospective clinical data from a group of patients in a second database; comparing the patient health data corresponding to the one or more low acuity time periods with retrospective clinical data from a group of patients by identifying one or more patient subgroups; determining the individual-specific patient baseline using an adaptive baseline selection algorithm, wherein the adaptive baseline selection algorithm is used to determine whether to determine the individual-specific patient baseline using patient health data or using retrospective clinical data from one or more patient subgroups; and displaying, using a user interface, the individual-specific patient baseline.

Abstract: A method for performing, using a patient disposition system, a disposition analysis of a plurality of patients to optimize a discharge planning process for each of the plurality of patients, including: (i) receiving electronic medical record information about each of the plurality of patients; (ii) identifying one of a plurality of different patient types for each of the plurality of patients based on the received electronic medical record information; (iii) selecting a trained multi-state model for each identified patient type; and (iv) determining, based on the selected trained multi-state model, a disposition state for each of the plurality of patients in real-time, wherein each disposition state includes a location to which the patient is to be discharged. The method further includes determining at least one service or assessment that can be deferred to the location to which the patient is to be discharged.

Abstract: A method for processing medical information includes identifying a first patient in a first state, identifying a second patient in a second state, calculating a first risk score for the first patient, calculating a first risk score for the second patient, and determining a risk prone area in a medical facility based on the first risk score for the first patient and the first risk score for the second patient. The first state is an infected state and the second state is different from the first state. The first risk score of the first patient provides an indication of a severity of the infected state of the first patient, and the first risk score of the second patient provides an indication of the second patient being infected by the first patient.

Abstract: A preconditioned air unit (10) for supplying preconditioned air to an aircraft parked on the ground, the preconditioned air unit comprising a main unit with a housing (12) accommodating a flow duct (20) with an air inlet (22) for ambient air and an air outlet (25) for connection to the parked aircraft, a blower (30) connected with the flow duct for generation of an air flow from the air inlet toward the air outlet, and a plurality of compartments (34), each of which is configured for accommodation of a self-contained cooling module comprising at least one refrigeration system, each of which includes at least one compressor (38), at least one condenser (40), at least one expansion valve (42), and at least one evaporator (44) connected in a flow circuit containing a refrigerant, and wherein each compartment is further configured so that the at least one evaporator interacts with the air flow in the flow duct when the self-contained cooling module is installed in the compartment, and wherein at least one self-co

Abstract: A method for detecting an error in a home network while a network-compatible device is newly added to the home network, the home network having a modem configured to be connected to the Internet, a home gateway connected between the modem and the home network, the method for detecting the error comprising employing address resolution protocol and detecting the error in the home network due to filtering based on MAC addresses is disclosed. The disclosed subject matter can be used for diagnosis of problems in the home network that can arise due to filtering based on Media Access Control addresses by the home gateway.
