  • Publication number: 20240047032
    Abstract: A care estimate module operating on a central computing entity receives a trigger indication (a) comprising patient identifying information and (b) that identifies a service; extracts the patient identifying information from the trigger indication; determines the service; identifies a potential provider that provides the service; and determines a care estimate for the potential provider to provide the service to the patient. The potential provider is identified based on eligibility information associated with the patient, a location associated with the patient, and an address associated with the potential provider. The care estimate is determined based on the eligibility information associated with the patient. The central computing entity generates a care estimate notification that identifies the potential provider and comprises the care estimate; and provides the care estimate notification such that a user computing entity receives the care estimate notification.

  • Publication number: 20200160955
    Abstract: A central computing entity receives an encrypted request for performance of a back-end function, the encrypted request associated with a provider and a corresponding practice management system; generates a trigger indication that comprises patient identifying information based on the encrypted request; processes the trigger indication using a program code module corresponding to the back-end function and operating on the central computing entity to generate a response; converts the response into a notification in a format corresponding to the practice management system; and encrypts and provides the notification such that a user computing entity receives the notification. The user computing entity may be configured to provide at least a part of the notification or a graphical representation thereof via a user interface of the user computing entity.

  • Publication number: 20200160949
    Abstract: A care gap module operating on a central computing entity receives a trigger indication comprising patient identifying information; extracts the patient identifying information from the trigger indication; queries a plurality of care standards stored in a memory media to identify care standards relevant to the patient based on at least one of (a) demographic information corresponding to the patient or (b) medical history information corresponding to the patient; and analyzes the medical history information corresponding to the patient based on the care standards to identify whether the medical history information is missing any data items indicative of gaps in care. The central computing entity generates a care gap notification that indicates whether any gaps in care were identified and, when a gap in care was identified, indicates what the gap was; and provides the care gap notification such that a user computing entity receives the care gap notification.
