An evidence based cost modeling and predictive analysis system, and an incentives based plan to reduce healthcare costs are disclosed. An analytics system may generate incremental expenditures among overweight and obese individuals, predictive forecasts of future medical costs, and predictive forecast of cost reduction based on financial incentives to recipients. The forecasts may include statistical trends, prevalence of diseases based on body mass index, and medical evidence associated with specific illnesses. A computer based program may process and analyze dependent and independent variables in electronically stored information (for example insurance, health and medical records). A health insurance provider may provide an annual rebate on paid premiums to recipients based on a qualifying annual BMI as an incentive. The recipients may receive the rebates in a qualified health reimbursement account (HRA) managed by the recipients towards future healthcare related expenditures.

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide an improved system and method for reducing transfer overhead of medical evidence data to a storage device. Certain embodiments of the method include determining an image count for a medical study including one or more images and comparing the image count for the medical study to image counts for other medical studies to be transferred to calculate a relative image count. Certain embodiments include identifying availability of computing resources, allocating available computing resources to the medical study based on the relative image count, and transferring the medical study using the allocated computing resources. In an embodiment, more computing resources are allocated to a medical study with a high relative image count than to a medical study with a low relative image count. Available computing resources may be selectively allocated based on relative image count to reduce transfer overhead.

An interactive ward monitoring system based on the wireless communication mode comprises a plurality of personal digital assistant (PDA) devices, data terminals in front of ward beds, a duty room work station, a server and wireless routers, wherein the PDA devices and the data terminals in front of the ward beds are communicated with the server through the wireless routers; and a computer in the duty room work station is connected with the server through a cable network. The invention has the following advantages: the PDA devices are used to view and record information and the wireless local area network is used to receive and send information. The medical personnel do not require to carry a large number of scattered treatment recipes and copy records repeatedly, thus increasing the work efficiency of the medical personnel and reducing the mistakes caused by repeated recordings. The front of each ward bed is not provided with a traditional paper label, but provided with the special data display terminal, thus data can be sent and received through the wireless local area network and the medical personnel do not require to change the label manually. The interactive ward monitoring system can store mass data, provide precious materials for the hospital, facilitate the future medical evidence-giving and realize the interactive monitoring of patients for doctors and nurses.

Methods and systems are described for automated processing of medical data for insurance and disability determinations. Based on medical conditions claimed by the claimant, medical evidence queries are automatically generated to provide instructions to medical providers for conducting physical exams and laboratory tests and for retrieving medical records. After medical evidence is collected according to the queries, the medical evidence and related rating codes and decisions are displayed to rating personnel in a user-friendly format to assist in making a rating decision.

The invention relates to a traditional Chinese medicine clinical decision support system which comprises the following steps: selecting medical evidences, and extracting medical entities and medical entity relationships; constructing a data set according to the extracted medical entities and the medical entity relationship; constructing a medical knowledge graph through a graph construction and updating module; adding patients through the patient management module, and inputting personal basic information of the patients. and allowing a doctor to check outpatient service information and carry out outpatient service through the outpatient service management module, and record symptom summary information according to patient description. The method has the beneficial effects that information is summarized for doctors, especially grassroots doctors with insufficient medical experience, according to symptoms such as chief complaints, medical history and various examination results of patients; the problem of insufficient inquiry and clinical experience of doctors is solved, and the doctors are assisted to quickly and effectively diagnose diseases and draw up a proper treatment scheme; and the evidence-based reasoning capability of the medical knowledge graph is continuously improved.
