Embodiment Construction

[0054] Embodiments include health management systems and methods that facilitate patient health management, prevention of patient health deterioration, prevention of patient adverse events, patient care planning and execution, and / or the like. Embodiments include a health management system configured to manage care paths, which may include, for example, generating care paths, modifying care paths, analyzing compliance with care paths, and / or the like. A care path includes any number of different maps, plans, and / or other characteristics associated with a patient's disease or condition. In an embodiment, for example, a care pathway may include a set of steps associated with a patient's disease process, and may include, for example, symptom stages, clinical events, diagnoses, treatment steps, and / or the like. Care pathways may be patient-specific, designed for patient populations, or a combination thereof. That is, for example, general care pathways can be designed for certain ...

Abstract

A method of facilitating management of a care pathway includes the steps: receiving a care pathway definition, having a first care pathway step and a second care pathway step, where each care pathwaystep is identified by a unique identification (ID) code. The method includes determining a keyword associated with each care pathway step; and identifying, in patient information, care episodes. The method may include the steps: extracting, from the patient information, episode information corresponding to the care episodes; associating the care episodes with the corresponding care pathway steps;and determining, based on the care pathway definition and the episode information, a care metric. A display device may be used to present a representation of the care metric to a user.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to Provisional Application No. 62 / 380,635, filed August 29, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for facilitating management of care pathways. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for determining care metrics based on care pathways and patient information. Background technique [0004] The cost to the healthcare system of monitoring and treating patients with chronic diseases such as heart failure is significant and continues to rise. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important for healthcare providers to develop strategies to increase efficiency and reduce costs while delivering high-quality care with better patient outcomes. One such strategy includes developing standardized practices and reducing variability in care while providing pati...
