87 results about "Patient Visit" patented technology

The present invention provides systems and methods for gathering, formatting, storing and/or distributing medical information. In one exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides for centralized maintenance of medical information derived from a patient visit, and for distributed access to various medical information by, for example, researchers, the patient, the patient's physician, a specialist, and/or other recipients. Thus, for example, a patient may visit their physician and during that visit the physician may read information from an implantable medical device associated with the patient, make other objective measurements of the patient, and record various subjective information about the patient. All of this information can be uploaded and maintained on a variably accessible system.

Clinical trials are defined, managed and evaluated according to an overall end-to-end system. The central authority creates protocol meta-models and makes them available to clinical trial protocol designers. Each meta-model includes a short list of preliminary patient eligibility attributes which are appropriate for a particular disease category. The protocol designer chooses the appropriate meta-model, and encodes the clinical trial protocol, including eligibility and patient workflow, within the selected meta-model. The resulting protocol database is stored together with databases of other protocols in a library of protocol databases. Sponsors and individual clinical sites have controlled access to the protocols. Study sites make reference to the pertinent protocol databases to which they have access in the protocol database library in order to perform patient eligibility screening. Once a patient is enrolled into a study, the protocol database indicates to the clinician what tasks are to be performed at each patient visit. These tasks can include both patient management tasks and data management tasks. The workflow graph advantageously also instructs the proper time for the clinician to obtain a patient's informed consent. The system reports patient progress to study sponsors, who can then monitor the progress of the trial, and to a central authority which can then generate performance metrics. Advantageously, a common controlled medical terminology database is used by all components of the system.

A system enables a healthcare organization to evaluate cost efficient treatment options early in a patient treatment process by automatic monitoring of profit or loss of a treatment, in real-time and enables a clinical user to screen, simulate and control treatment profit or loss during a patient visit, based on both expected reimbursement and the actual costs of performed services. A system enables cost based treatment selection by providing a healthcare worker with patient specific treatment cost information during a treatment episode. An acquisition processor automatically interrogates at least one information repository for data concerning cost to a healthcare organization of providing a proposed treatment to a patient and expected cost reimbursement to the healthcare organization for the proposed treatment. The acquisition processor initiates generation of at least one message including a patient identifier and treatment identification code for communication to the at least one information repository, in response to data indicating occurrence of a treatment related event. A display processor initiates generation of data representing at least one display image including information indicating the proposed treatment is unprofitable for the healthcare organization.

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for generating and outputting medical billing data. Data is captured by pervasive devices before, during, and after a patient encounter with a healthcare provider. Any unstructured data is transformed into usable structured data, and determinations, such as a service provided by the healthcare provider, are made based on that data as well as other stored data. Based on those determinations, billing data for billing claims related to the patient visit is generated and outputted to a payer of the claims. The billing data may include a medical code that is predicted by a billing model. Billing models may be created from data captured by the pervasive devices from patient visits and data in external data stores, such as electronic health records.
