Embodiment Construction

[0014]Technologies are provided herein for providing a decision support solution to medical professionals to optimize medical care through data monitoring and feedback treatment. The technologies described herein can be embodied as a method of optimizing medical care or as decision support tool configured to operate with real-time monitoring systems that are capable of collecting patient information available from a wide range of sources, such as bedside monitors, lab work, medical records, prescribed treatments, amongst others. This information, along with historical data of similar types of patients, can be used to achieve a paradigm shift from a signal-driven monitoring system to an event-driven monitoring system. That is, instead of the physician being confronted with various physiologic signals and test results, the physician is presented with a qualitative description of the patient's clinical state, the possible clinical states to which the patient may transition, and the pro...

Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing a decision support solution to medical professionals to optimize medical care through data monitoring and feedback treatment are provided herein. In another embodiment, a computer-implemented method for modeling patient outcomes resulting from treatment in a specific medical area includes receiving patient-specific data associated with a patient, determining a plurality of possible patient states under which the patient can be categorized, a current patient state under which the patient can be categorized and determining probabilities of the patient transitioning from any of the possible patient states to every other possible patient state.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]Practicing medicine is becoming increasingly more complicated due to the introduction of new sensors and treatments. As a result, clinicians are confronted with an avalanche of information, which needs to be evaluated and well understood in order to prescribe the optimal treatment from the multitude of available options, while reducing patient risks. One environment where this avalanche of information has become increasingly problematic is the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). There, the experience of the attending physician and the physician's ability to assimilate the available physiologic information have a strong impact on the clinical outcome. It has been determined that hospitals which do not maintain trained intensivists around the clock experience a 14.4% mortality rate as opposed to a 6.0% rate for fully staffed centers. It is estimated that raising the level of care to that of average trained physicians across all ICUs can save 160,000 lives and $4.3Bn annually. A...
