Publication number: 20140100880Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for organizational management of population health. A network management service builds and maintains data stores of organizational data associated with one or more healthcare organizations. A population health management service receives raw data from disparate sources, creates a reference record for each raw data source, and generates patient-centric longitudinal population records using the reference records. Programs for managing population health utilize both the organizational data and the population records to generate condition-specific or objective-specific solutions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2013Publication date: April 10, 2014Applicant: CERNER INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: NEAL PATTERSON, RYAN HAMILTON, BHARAT SUTARIYA, TEHSIN SYED

Publication number: 20070083386Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying opportunities for optimizing clinical processes within clinical facilities. An optimized practice process model may be defined for a particular clinical procedure, setting forth an optimal clinical process. In addition, critical levers may be identified within the optimal clinical process, representing the activities that have the greatest impact on outcomes. Clinical facilities may collect current measures for the critical levers, and the current measures may be compared against an optimal, benchmark, and/or target measure. Based on the comparison, opportunities for clinical process optimization may be identified.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2006Publication date: April 12, 2007Applicant: Cerner Innovation,Inc.Inventors: Ian Chuang, Paul Gorup, Neal Patterson

Publication number: 20070083385Abstract: Systems, methods, and graphical user interfaces are provided for identifying, analyzing, and adopting opportunities for optimizing clinical processes within clinical facilities. An optimized practice process model may be defined for a particular clinical procedure, setting forth an optimal clinical process. In addition, critical levers may be identified within the optimal clinical process, representing the activities that have the greatest impact on outcomes. Clinical facilities may collect current measures for the critical levers, and the current measures may be compared against an optimal, benchmark, and/or target measure. Based on the comparison, opportunities for clinical process optimization may be identified. Those opportunities may then be analyzed and prioritized for adoption into a facility's current practice. Clinical processes within healthcare facilities may be further improved by continuously monitoring facility data and identifying further opportunities of optimization.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2006Publication date: April 12, 2007Applicant: Cerner Innovation, IncInventors: Neal Patterson, Paul Gorup
