  • Publication number: 20100312581
    Abstract: A system and method for efficiently allocating medical resources includes identifying patients to be seen by a medical facility in accordance with medical best practice guidelines and availability of medical resources. The method utilizes existing patient data, medical provider data and/or patient population data to create a new dataset used to rank patients for priority of contacting them. The patients are thus scheduled in a manner that the available resources are allocated for improved clinical outcome and/or greatest profit. The method may include dynamically changing the dataset to update the rank order of patients when any new data becomes available. The method may include changing weighting factors for patient rank order based on historical performance of the allocated medical resources, past performance of the patients, and/or criteria from the patient data record. The method may include automatically contacting patients in prioritized order to invite them to access medical resource.
