Method and system for dynamic risk assessment, risk monitoring, and caseload management
First Claim
1. A risk assessment system for evaluating and determining levels of risk, comprising:
- a computer;
a memory accessible by the computer;
a first file stored in the memory and including data defining weighted profile characteristics of a first individual;
an interface component that allows the first individual and a set of second individuals associated with the first individual to access the first file and set at least one of the profile characteristics; and
a risk assessment application in the computer for computing and storing in the computer memory a risk score for the first individual using input based on the profile characteristics.

Abstract
A system and method for assessing risk, monitoring risk, and managing caseloads of individuals under risk assessment is provided. The system includes a network server computer that stores into memory information regarding each individual'"'"'s environment, behavior, physical condition, personal relationships, and/or mental state of being. Similar information regarding other individuals associated with the individual being assessed for risk also may be stored in the server memory. Individuals under risk assessment, individuals associated with individuals under risk assessment, and workers responsible for overseeing individuals under risk assessment may input this information into the server memory. The server processes this information for input into a risk assessment application that may include a fuzzy logic, neural network, neuro-fuzzy, or other artificial intelligence software or hardware to compute a composite risk score. The system provides workers an alarm signal when an individual'"'"'s assessed score exceeds a predetermined level. The system provides workers an alarm signal when an assessed score of an individual exceeds a predetermined level or falls into a predetermined classification category. Worker caseloads are automatically updated and/or prioritized by the system in accordance with alarm signals present in the server database. The system and method also provide individuals accessing the system with helpful resources based on information they provide the system server, and a means for communication between system users.

16. A method of determining and monitoring a type of risk, comprising:
-
creating and storing in a memory accessible by a computer a first file including data defining profile characteristics of a first individual;
storing in the memory a risk assessment application for computing a composite risk score indicative of a level of the risk type;
computing the composite risk score by providing input based on the profile characteristics of the first file to the risk assessment application;
storing the composite risk score in the computer memory;
generating at least one first query set in the computer memory, wherein the query set corresponds to the risk type;
allowing the first individual or a second set of individuals associated with the first individual to access at least one question of the at least one first query set in the computer memory; and
allowing transmission of information corresponding to the profile characteristics, and based on responses to the at least one question of the at least one first query set from the first individual or second set of individuals associated with the first individual, to the computer and storing the information in the first file. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
