  • Patent number: 11151505
    Abstract: A device may receive data associated with one or more healthcare organizations. The data may relate to a performance of one or more processes or operations of the one or more healthcare organizations. The device may process the data using one or more techniques to permit mapping of the data to a healthcare operating model. The device may map the data to the healthcare operating model. The healthcare operating model may be used to perform one or more analyses of the one or more processes or operations of the one or more healthcare organizations. The device may perform one or more analyses of the data to identify one or more deficiencies related to the one or more processes or operations. The device may perform one or more actions to positively impact the performance of the one or more processes or operations of the one or more healthcare organizations.

  • Patent number: 10679755
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for data analysis and inference of particle diffusion in mucus barriers and generic permeable biomaterials are disclosed. According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for data analysis and inference of particle diffusion in target materials, such as mucus barriers, or their simulants. The method includes collecting experimental data of observed particle movement through samples of a target material or simulant (“the target”), analyzing the collected data to determine the stochastic diffusive process that is being observed for particular particles in the particular sample, using one or more of the observed stochastic diffusive processes to simulate the diffusion of particles through layers of the target of various thicknesses, using the simulation results to determine how passage time scales according to thickness of the target, and verifying the simulation results.

  • Publication number: 20180253676
    Abstract: A device may receive multiple data elements related to a technical capability of resources of an organization. The technical capability may be associated with gathering, storing, processing, or providing data. The multiple data elements may be received from a hardware resource of the organization. The device may store the multiple data elements in a storage device associated with a cloud computing environment. The storage device may store multiple other data elements associated with another organization. The device may perform an analysis of the multiple data elements to identify a deficiency related to the technical capability of resources of the organization. The device may generate multiple action items to perform based on identifying the deficiency, where the multiple action items are to reduce the deficiency. The device may perform an action associated with the multiple action items to positively impact the deficiency.
