Abstract: A method and system manages alerts a patient treatment management system to provide continuous process improvement. The method selects one-by-one each step in the treatment regimen for which alerts are being created and/or modified. The method defines a “step not completed” alert for the current regimen step and identifies any other needed alerts. The method determines whether the event represented by the alert endangers the patient or causes an adverse outcome. If “Yes”, the method indicates that there is no automatic suspension of the alert and indicates the “minimal” recipients for the alert. The method processes triggered alerts by determining whether the alert frequency for this alert type has been exceeded or the maximum number of outstanding alerts for this healthcare worker has been exceeded whereby the method notifies the system administrator of the alert overload. If an alert is suspended, information associated with the alert is recorded.

However, unfilled open access time slots are allocated to patients only during the open access time window, so as to accommodate patients who should be seen on the same day they call.

Abstract: The disclosed technology enables, among other things, the identification of persons and the characterization of mental perceptions (e.g., pain, fatigue, mood) and/or intent (e.g., to perform an action) for medical, safety, home care, and other purposes. Of significance are applications that require long-term patient monitoring, such as tracking disease progression (e.g., multiple sclerosis), or monitoring treatment or rehabilitation efficacy. Therefore, longitudinal data must be acquired over time for the person's identity and other characteristics (e.g., pain level, usage of a cane). However, conventional methods of person identification (e.g., photography) acquire unnecessary personal information, resulting in privacy concerns. The disclosed technology allows measurements to be performed while protecting privacy and functions with partial or incomplete measurements, making it robust to real-world (noisy, uncontrolled) settings, such as in a person's home (whether living alone or with others).
