Abstract

Certain embodiments provide systems and methods for providing personalized, interconnected digital health services. Certain embodiments provide a digital health services system. The system includes an access portal providing access to health information for a patient from a plurality of clinical data sources. The system also includes a shared registry and repository storing information from the plurality of clinical data sources for interconnection and access via the access portal. The system further includes digital health information and services generating a personalized care plan for the patient based on health information from the shared registry and repository in conjunction with one or more rules applied to the health information to match the care plan with the health information for the patient and to track patient outcomes based upon compliance with the recommended care plan.

Claims

1. A digital health services system, said system comprising:

an access portal providing access to health information for a patient from a plurality of clinical data sources;

a shared registry and repository storing information from the plurality of clinical data sources for interconnection and access via the access portal; and

digital health information and services generating a personalized care plan for the patient based on health information from the shared registry and repository in conjunction with one or more rules applied to the health information to match the care plan with the health information for the patient and to track patient outcomes based upon compliance with the recommended care plan.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of clinical data sources further comprises one or more of a payer, a financial institution, an electronic medical record, a practice management system, a claims database, a pharmaceutical system, a physician portal, and a laboratory system.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the access portal provides access for the patient and wherein the system further comprises a clinical source interface facilitating exchange of information by the plurality of clinical data sources.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising a provider portal providing healthcare provider access to patient health information and care plan compliance, the provider portal facilitating personalized interaction with the patient outside of an office visit.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein artificial intelligence and patient compliance tools are used to generate customized algorithms for tracking the recommended care plan for the patient and provide projected simulations of an impact to the patient based on patient action.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the access portal, shared registry and repository, and digital health information and services provide a connectivity framework of a plurality of layers to enable product and information interoperability using one or more clinical standards.

7. A method for managing health information, said method comprising:

facilitating access to health information for a patient via an electronic access portal;

exchanging health information across a plurality of health data sources with respect to the patient via a cross-enterprise document sharing registry and repository;

generating a recommended care plan personalized for the patient based on health information from the registry and repository based on one or more rules for matching the care plan with the health information for the patient; and

tracking patient outcomes based upon compliance with the recommended care plan.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising modifying at least one of health information for the patient and access permission for the health information for the patient via the electronic access portal.

9. The method of claim 7, further comprising facilitating review of the recommended care plan and patient compliance by a care provider.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein the plurality of health data sources further comprises one or more of a payer, a financial institution, an electronic medical record, a practice management system, a claims database, a pharmaceutical system, a physician portal, and a laboratory system.

11. The method of claim 7, further comprising providing healthcare provider access to patient health information and care plan compliance and facilitating personalized interaction with the patient outside of an office visit.

12. The method of claim 7, wherein generating a recommended care plan further comprises using artificial intelligence and patient compliance tools to generate customized algorithms for tracking the recommended care plan for the patient and provide projected simulations of an impact to the patient based on patient action.

13. The method of claim 7, further comprising providing a connectivity framework of a plurality of layers to enable product and information interoperability using one or more clinical standards.

14. A digital health services connectivity framework, said framework comprising:

a data layer including one or more repositories, registries, and records for clinical data;

a services layer including one or more services processing clinical data from the data layer to provide clinical services to a user;

a user integration layer facilitating access to information and services by the user in the services layer and the data layer; and

a connectivity layer facilitating transfer of data from one or more clinical sources to one or more of the data layer and services layer.

15. The framework of claim 14, further comprising a security layer authenticating the user and regulating access to the services layer and the data layer.

16. The framework of claim 14, further comprising an interface layer facilitating transfer and storage of data to and from the one or more clinical sources in conjunction with the connectivity layer.

17. The framework of claim 14, wherein the data layer further comprises a shared registry and repository storing information from the one or more clinical sources for interconnection and access via the services layer and the user integration layer.

18. The framework of claim 14, wherein the services layer further comprises a digital health information and services generating a personalized care plan for the patient based on clinical data from the data layer in conjunction with one or more rules applied to the clinical data.

19. The framework of claim 18, wherein the services layer allows the user track patient outcomes based upon compliance with the personalized care plan.

20. The framework of claim 18, wherein the services layer further comprises artificial intelligence and patient compliance tools to provide customized algorithms for tracking the recommended care plan for the patient and providing projected simulations of an impact to the patient based on patient action.
