Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for developing an individual-specific patient baseline for a target patient. An exemplary method involves: determining one or more acuity scores for the target patient; identifying patient health data corresponding to one or more low acuity time periods; storing retrospective clinical data from a group of patients in a second database; comparing the patient health data corresponding to the one or more low acuity time periods with retrospective clinical data from a group of patients by identifying one or more patient subgroups; determining the individual-specific patient baseline using an adaptive baseline selection algorithm, wherein the adaptive baseline selection algorithm is used to determine whether to determine the individual-specific patient baseline using patient health data or using retrospective clinical data from one or more patient subgroups; and displaying, using a user interface, the individual-specific patient baseline.

Abstract: A method and system for generating real time workload balancing recommendations comprising receiving transition data, medical data, and staffing data; determining a transition probability for each of a plurality of patients; determining a predicted workload to be generated by each of the plurality of patients; simulating the predicted workload to be generated by each of the plurality of patients, the future workload for each of a plurality of units in the hospital; generating staffing recommendations; and displaying the generated staffing recommendations on a user display of the workload balancing system.

Abstract: A method for performing, using a patient disposition system, a disposition analysis of a plurality of patients to optimize a discharge planning process for each of the plurality of patients, including: (i) receiving electronic medical record information about each of the plurality of patients; (ii) identifying one of a plurality of different patient types for each of the plurality of patients based on the received electronic medical record information; (iii) selecting a trained multi-state model for each identified patient type; and (iv) determining, based on the selected trained multi-state model, a disposition state for each of the plurality of patients in real-time, wherein each disposition state includes a location to which the patient is to be discharged. The method further includes determining at least one service or assessment that can be deferred to the location to which the patient is to be discharged.

Abstract: A method for processing medical information includes identifying a first patient in a first state, identifying a second patient in a second state, calculating a first risk score for the first patient, calculating a first risk score for the second patient, and determining a risk prone area in a medical facility based on the first risk score for the first patient and the first risk score for the second patient. The first state is an infected state and the second state is different from the first state. The first risk score of the first patient provides an indication of a severity of the infected state of the first patient, and the first risk score of the second patient provides an indication of the second patient being infected by the first patient.

Abstract: A power supply system for a lighting unit, comprises a driver, a local energy storage device and a converter. The converter implements a first, charging mode, mode by connecting to the output of said driver for diverting at least a part of the driving current from the lighting unit to charge the energy storage device, a second, battery driving, mode by connecting to the lighting unit for converting the local energy storage device power supply to drive the lighting unit, and a third, grid driving, mode to neither charge the energy storage device nor convert the secondary power supply. The converter and the driver are controlled actively and synchronously to maintain the current through the lighting unit when switching the converter between modes.

Abstract: A lighting network for altering a power factor of an alternating current, AC, supply (5). The lighting network comprises luminaires (2, 3) having reactive components of a first reactive type which are controllably coupled, by a controller, to the AC supply so as to adjust the power factor of the AC supply. The controller controls the coupling of the luminaires based on a power factor signal indicative of a power factor of the AC supply, which is influenced by an appliance (6) with a reactive load of a second reactive type, which appliance is different to any one of the luminaires. Preferably, the first reactive type is capacitive, and the second reactive type is inductive.

Abstract: A method and system for providing a region based image modification method and system for performing the same. The method includes: selecting at least one region of interest of an image and editing image attributes of the selected region of interest. The edited region of interest is saved separately without affecting the image. The saved regions of interest acts as individual images having their own image attributes and display characteristics. The edited region of interest and original image can be retrieved at later stage without affecting each other.
