Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided an apparatus (500; FIG. 5) for determining an action to be taken in response to an emergency call, the apparatus comprising: a processor (502; FIG. 5) configured to receive an indication that an emergency call has been initiated; extract, from speech transmitted as part of the emergency call, features indicative of a medical condition or event relating to a subject; obtain medical data relating to the subject; predict, based on the extracted features and the medical data, an acuity level of the subject; determine, based on the acuity level, an action to be taken in respect of the subject; and provide an indication of the determined action for presentation to a recipient.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for allocating a patient to one of a plurality of COPD remote patient monitoring programs, each remote patient monitoring program being tailored to a different level of disease acuity.

Abstract: Proposed concepts thus aim to provide schemes, solutions, concepts, designs, methods and systems pertaining to improving the allocation of COPD patients to a remote patient monitoring, RPM, program. Patients are periodically assessed so that they are dynamically placed in an optimal RPM program for their current state of health. Patients are therefore monitored and assistance can be given where necessary. By placing patients in the optimum RPM program, burdens on both patient and the service provider are reduced.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for planning resources for a plurality of COPD RPM programs. Each RPM program is tailored to a different level of disease acuity. Assessment data is obtained relating to the severity of COPD symptoms in respect of a set of patients currently following one of the RPM programs. For each patient, a prediction is made of which RPM program is most likely to be appropriate for the patient at a future time point and from this a required capacity for each RPM program at said future time point can be derived. The required resources for each RPM program can thus be determined.

Abstract: A system and method for selecting a set of value-base healthcare measures, including: presenting a ontological hierarchy to a user on a graphical user interface, wherein the ontological hierarchy includes the hierarchical relationship between healthcare measures and value-based healthcare topics; receiving user input indicating a set of topics from the ontological hierarchy; receiving user input indicating value-based optimization parameters; determining a list of healthcare measures based upon the set of topics and optimization parameters; and displaying a list of measures to the user on the graphical user interface.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a method for managing healthcare resources including receiving information selecting a first outcome perspective, calculating first impactibility scores for the first outcome perspective, determining a first subarea based on the first impactibility scores, and designating an allocation of healthcare resources and cost for the first subarea based on the first outcome perspective. The first impactibility scores are calculated for respective subareas including the first subarea, and the first outcome perspective corresponds to a first ratio of healthcare resources and cost.

Abstract: A method for managing healthcare costs includes generating a first set of event logs based on first information, extracting traces from the first set of event logs for different episodes of care, generating a second set of event logs based on second information, determining a plurality of clusters based on the second set of event logs, grouping the traces to form sets of traces linked to the plurality of clusters, and inputting the sets of traces into a process mining module.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method are defined for aiding decision making in selecting an implant treatment for a subject are provided. By exploiting a plurality of outcome prediction models based on historic treatment data, predicted treatment outcomes can be generated for a large number of different implant treatment types. These predicted treatment outcomes can then be generated based on subject specific pre-implantation baseline data, to give predicted treatment outcomes specific to the subject. By outputting the predicted subject outcomes for a large number of implant treatment types, the subject, in consultation with a doctor and/or surgeon, may make a more informed decision over a wide range of implant treatment types.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system for providing model-based predictions of beneficiaries receiving out-of-network care. In some embodiments, the system (i) obtains, from one or more databases, a collection of information related to care utilization and expenditures for a plurality of beneficiaries; (ii) extracts, from the collection of information, information related to healthcare services rendered to the beneficiaries within a predetermined time period; (iii) provides the extracted healthcare services information to a machine learning model to train the machine learning model; (iv) obtains characteristics information related to a current beneficiary and a corresponding healthcare provider; and (v) provides, subsequent to the training of the machine learning model, the current patient and corresponding healthcare provider characteristics information to the machine learning model to predict a likelihood of a future healthcare service provided to the current beneficiary to be rendered out-of-network.

Abstract: Example embodiments include a method for managing healthcare services including receiving information selecting an episode of care, identifying a plurality of care pathways for the episode of care, generating a plurality of clusters corresponding to the plurality of care pathways, respectively, and performing a clustering analysis to determine a first care pathway of the plurality of care pathways, and outputting information indicative of the first care pathway. Each of the care pathways corresponds to services from a combination of different healthcare personnel with associated costs, and the first care pathway corresponds to one of the plurality of clusters satisfying a selected outcome measure for a bundled payment reimbursement contract.
