Abstract: A method for determining a patient risk in according with the present application comprises obtaining patient information for a patient admitted to a medical facility, the patient information including patient descriptive information, diagnostic information and physiological information, determining a patient score according to the physiological information, and simultaneously determining, by circuitry, a patient morbidity risk and a patient mortality risk for the patient according the patient descriptive information, the diagnostic information and the patient score. The determining of the patient score according to the physiological information may further include identifying a numerical value for the patient descriptive information, the diagnostic information and the physiological information, and determining the patient score by computing the numerical values.

Abstract: A process and apparatus system for detecting an intravenous infiltration. A separate infiltration detecting solution containing an intravenously administerable infiltration indicator is intravenously administered singly or on a periodic basis and a qualitative and/or quantitative assessment of the indicator in tissue proximate and/or distal to the site of intravenous administration of a biological fluid is carried out.

Abstract: Computer implemented processes are disclosed for quantifying the severity of condition of patients of a pediatric hospital or pediatric intensive care unit. The measure of severity of condition can be used to calculate a probability of death during hospitalization as well as the expected length of stay for a patient, given information gathered about the patient during the initial hours of hospitalization. This information may then be used to determine availability of beds and to provide objective measures of the quality of care provided by a pediatric hospital or part thereof.
