  • Patent number: 10699814
    Abstract: The task is to provide a system which supports smooth patient referral from a referral source medical institution to a referral destination medical institution and which particularly prevents readmission due to cases that are difficult to determine simply based on patient attributes or due to the quality of medical services. To achieve this task, a referral difficult degree calculation unit calculates a referral difficulty degree which quantifies the risk that a patient cannot be discharged because a referral destination cannot be found, in consideration of a readmission risk calculated by a readmission risk calculation unit, the geographical distance between the patient and the referral destination medical institution, the total number of patients accepted, and the number of beds available. This referral difficulty degree is outputted to an output unit of the referral source medical institution or the referral destination medical institution.

  • Patent number: 10395766
    Abstract: Upon evaluation of a value of a diagnostic process, the value of a diagnostic process is evaluated not based on a simple cost but on a cost required for all processes of a patient who was in the diagnostic process through a follow-up survey. Diagnostic processes that are not relevant to a target diagnostic process are eliminated, clustering is performed on patients to divide the patients into clinically meaningful homogeneous groups, and the target diagnostic process is evaluated for each of the homogeneous groups. For the purpose, importance scores of data pieces of the clinical data are calculated and the relevant data is output using the output result of the medical knowledge extraction unit, clustering is performed on patients in the clinical data, and a clinical index and a cost are output for each of the clusters.
