Abstract: Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and more particularly LED chip structures are disclosed. LED chip structures include arrangements of one or more contacts, interconnects, contact structures, and/or reflective layers that effectively route electrically conductive paths while also reducing instances of closely spaced electrically charged metals of opposing polarities. Certain LED chip structures include electrically isolated metal-containing layers in various chip locations that allow for the presence of n-contact interconnects that are vertically arranged under or proximate to a p-contact. Certain contact structures include various arrangements, including segmented contact structures, that extend laterally to electrically couple groups of n-contact interconnects across various LED chip portions.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a patient evaluation system that predicts a revenue stream corresponding to a patient if admitted into a healthcare facility. In one embodiment, the patient evaluation system parses medical records corresponding to a patient to automatically identify inputs into a daily rate calculator for determining a reimbursement or cost rate (e.g., a daily rate) corresponding to the patient. In addition to determining this rate, the patient evaluation system can use a ML model to estimate or predict the length of stay of the patient. Using the reimbursement or cost rate and the predicted length of stay, the patient evaluation system can estimate or predict the revenue stream corresponding to patient's stay at the healthcare facility. This information can be output in a graphical user interface which can be used to decide whether or not to recommend the patient be admitted to the healthcare facility.
