System for analyzing and processing orders related to healthcare treatment or services
First Claim
1. A system for analyzing data comprising healthcare orders initiating treatment or services used in patient healthcare, comprising:
- a data processor for identifying a potential change in use of a particular treatment by, examining data representing a plurality of orders generated over a particular time period and used in treating a plurality of patients, to identify a number of orders initiating application of a particular treatment to individual patients of said plurality of patients to address a particular medical condition and determining at least one of, (a) whether said number of orders exceeds a predetermined threshold and (b) whether a rate of change in said number of orders relative to a previously determined number of orders is significant; and
a message processor for initiating generation of a message to alert a message recipient of an identified potential change in use of said particular treatment.

Abstract
A system analyzes data including healthcare orders initiating treatment or services used in patient healthcare. The system includes a data processor and a message processor. The data processor identifies a potential change in use of a particular treatment by examining data, representing multiple orders generated over a particular time period, used in treating multiple patients to identify a number of orders initiating application of a particular treatment to individual patients of the multiple patients to address a particular medical condition. The data processor also determines whether the number of orders exceeds a predetermined threshold and/or whether a rate of change in the number of orders relative to a previously determined number of orders is significant. The message processor initiates generation of a message to alert a message recipient of an identified potential change in use of the particular treatment.

13. A system for suggesting to a user an alteration to an existing documentation order template used for initiating treatment or services used in patient healthcare, comprising:
a data processor for identifying a potential change in use of a particular treatment by, examining data representing a plurality of orders generated over a particular time period and used in treating a plurality of patients, to identify a number of orders initiating application of a particular treatment to individual patients of said plurality of patients to address a particular medical condition and determining whether a change in said number of orders relative to a previously determined number of orders is significant, and prompting a user with a suggestion of at least one of, (a) an additional order item to be added to an existing order set documentation template and (b) a deletion of an order item from an existing order set documentation template.

14. A system for analyzing data comprising healthcare orders initiating treatment or services used in patient healthcare, comprising:
-
an acquisition processor for acquiring data representing said plurality of orders used in treating said plurality of patients and for associating an individual order with at least one of, (a) said particular medical condition and (b) a set of medical conditions including said particular medical condition;
a data processor for identifying a potential change in use of a particular treatment by, examining data representing a plurality of orders associated with a particular medical condition and generated over a particular time period and used in treating a plurality of patients, to identify a number of orders initiating application of a particular treatment to individual patients of said plurality of patients and determining whether a change in said number of orders relative to a previously determined number of orders is significant; and
a message processor for initiating generation of a message to alert a message recipient of an identified potential change in use of said particular treatment.

15. A method for analyzing data comprising healthcare orders initiating treatment or services used in patient healthcare to identify a potential change in use of a particular treatment, comprising the steps of:
-
examining data representing a plurality of orders generated over a particular time period and used in treating a plurality of patients, to identify a number of orders initiating application of a particular treatment to individual patients of said plurality of patients to address a particular medical condition and determining at least one of, (a) whether said number of orders exceeds a predetermined threshold and (b) whether a rate of change in said number of orders relative to a previously determined number of orders is statistically significant; and
initiating generation of a message to alert a message recipient of an identified potential change in use of said particular treatment. - View Dependent Claims (16)
