Abstract: Methods and systems determine risks of deterioration of hospitalized or other monitored or cared-for patients, for example in a treatment facility such as a hospital or under home-health care. In embodiments, a warning or other instruction is issued to medical professionals to alert them that certain patients have moderate or high risk of transfer to a higher level of care or should be monitored more frequently. A medical professional can accept alerts regarding prediction of deterioration, causing a prophylactic transfer or increased monitoring, or a transfer or monitoring order can occur automatically. Data relating to all patients in a unit of a medical facility can be viewed including warnings relating to risk of transfer or deterioration, so that a medical facility can intervene prior to an event such as a cardiac event and/or plan to accommodate patients at higher levels of care or monitoring.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering a graphical object that visually represents those physiological components that account for a patient's acute physiology are provided. The method includes performing an acute physiology score (APS) calculation using diagnostic parameters to realize points associated therewith. The diagnostic parameters individually provide a measure of the patient's complete acute physiology. These points are combined to generate body-system scores that are values associated with each of the physiological components, respectively. Typically, the physiological components are predefined in number and each correspond with a respective body system. The method further includes the step of generating a graphical object that visually represents the body-system scores in an intuitive format, such as a pie graph. The graphical object is then rendered on a display device, and is presented in a bed gadget associated with a particular patient staying in the ICU.
