Publication number: 20170372028Abstract: A method of evaluating managed care organizations (MCOs) includes acquiring medical data associated with patients' healthcare encounters with the MCOs, calculating a health risk score of a subpopulation using patient characteristic data included in the medical data, providing encounter data included in the medical data and the health risk score as input to analytic processes that track services provided by the MCOs, and generating a risk-adjusted performance metric of the MCOs by the analytic processes. The risk-adjusted performance metrics relate to categories of concern. The method further includes generating a standardized score for each of the risk-adjusted performance metrics based on a comparison of the subpopulation with an entire population, assigning a weight to each of the standardized scores based on an importance level of each category of concern, and generating a final score corresponding to a performance category for each of the MCOs based on the standardized scores.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2016Publication date: December 28, 2017Inventors: JING ZHOU, MICHAEL D.

Patent number: 9027247Abstract: A method and structure for forming an ink jet printhead can include the use of a transfer pad to transfer an adhesive solution to an ink jet printhead substrate. The adhesive solution can be placed within a patterned recess of a cliché and then an upper surface of the adhesive solution can be gelled. A surface of the transfer pad contacts the gelled upper surface and transfers the adhesive solution to the ink jet printhead substrate. During the transfer, a lower surface of the adhesive solution gels. During contact with the ink jet printhead substrate, the gelled lower surface adheres to the ink jet printhead substrate while the gelled upper surface releases from the transfer pad.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2012Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Xuejin Wen, Mark A.
