Unified healthcare intelligence, analytics, and care management

Abstract

Healthcare intelligence and analytics may be improved by combining sets of disparate healthcare records and matching records between patients. The matched records may then be analyzed by identifying relevant individuals and providing information to a user containing the combined sets of healthcare records and the analysis. The information may be customized for the user after identifying the user accessing the interface. Additionally, rules may be applied to the analyzed data to enhance the data when viewed by the user.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes an apparatus, system, and method for analyzing and displaying different healthcare data. This system can help healthcare teams make better decisions and provide better care for patients. The system can use various data sources, including electronic health records and health information exchanges, to provide health intelligence to healthcare team members, patients, and other stakeholders. The system can also enhance the data through customized applications and improve the quality of care delivery. Overall, the system simplifies the process of making informed decisions and provides a patient-centered approach to healthcare.

Problems solved by technology

A drawback of providing a variety of disparate healthcare data records to the healthcare team members is that they may not be able to interpret all the disparate data or the ability to display it in one unified way.

As a consequence, providing all the healthcare data records directly to the healthcare team members leads to additional administrative expenses to sift through disparate healthcare data records and identify the healthcare data records that each member can interpret.

In some instances, the lack of coordinated data can compromise the health and wellbeing of patients.

However, the disconnect between information relied upon and the lack of collaboration when using a conventional patient healthcare system results in sub-optimal healthcare for an individual.

Additionally, the healthcare decisions made with the aid of conventional systems must be made on only partial data because only part of the entire list of healthcare data records was made available to each healthcare team member, which further leads to sub-optimal healthcare.
