  • Apparatus and Method for Automated Outcome-Based Process and Reference Improvement in Healthcare
    Publication number: 20140025390
    Abstract: A computer implemented system is provided for improving healthcare performance through use of outcome, reference and process modules. The interactions of these 3 modules impact a variety of aspects of healthcare service (e.g., diagnosis, treatment, clinical, management, finance, fraud and waste, etc.) and can build a functional eco system for healthcare service self improvement. This system is particularly useful to healthcare providers, payors (i.e., insurance companies), and healthcare compliance organizations (e.g., federal and state governments).

  • Management of information flow and workflow in medical procedures
    Patent number: 8249891
    Abstract: Managing information flow and workflow in medical imaging services includes mapping activities in medical imaging services to a set of discrete steps in a model medical imaging process. Data concerning the medical imaging services is collected and tracked using an electronic data store and a communications network. Collected data is correlated to at least one of the discrete steps in the model medical imaging process, and process metrics for performance are calculated based upon the correlated data.
