Evidence-based healthcare information management protocols
First Claim
1. A healthcare information management system comprising:
- at least one computing device in communication with at least one data storage device maintaining digital patient records; and
one or more instructions that, when implemented in the at least one computing device, program the at least one computing device for;
associating at least one personal mobile device with at least one patient;
detecting that the at least one personal mobile device associated with the at least one patient is local to at least one healthcare administration space;
recording the detection that the at least one personal mobile device associated with the at least one patient is local to the at least one healthcare administration space in the digital patient records;
detecting, at least partially from the digital patient records and at least partially from the recorded detection that the at least one personal mobile device associated with the at least one patient is local to the at least one healthcare administration space, a number of institutional admissions of a patient associated with a particular medical condition;
determining whether the number of institutional admissions associated with the particular medical condition are less than a pre-determined threshold number of admissions in relation to the particular condition;
assigning an incentive to the patient at least partly based on an indication that the patient has undergone less than the threshold number of institutional admissions in relation to the particular condition; and
transmitting at least one indication of the assigned incentive to at least one application running on the at least one personal mobile device associated with the at least one patient, responsive to the indication of the assigning of the incentive to the at least one patient including at least invoking circuitry configured for controlling operation of at least one device to cause the at least one device to dispense currency to the patient.

Abstract
Structures and protocols are presented for signaling a status or decision (processing or transmitting a medical record or other resource, e.g.) conditionally. Such signaling may be partly based on one or more symptoms, regimen attributes, performance indicia (compliance indications, e.g.), privacy considerations (patient consent, e.g.), contextual considerations (being in or admitted by a care facility, e.g.), sensor data, or other such determinants. In some contexts this may trigger an incentive being manifested (as a dispensation of an item, e.g.), an intercommunication (telephone call, e.g.) beginning, a device being configured (enabled or customized, e.g.), data distillations being presented or tracked, or other such results.
