Computer-Based Patient Management for Healthcare
First Claim
1. A method for computer-based patient management for healthcare, the method comprising:
- gathering, with a processor, first clinical data for a patient of a healthcare facility;
establishing, with the processor, a workflow for care of the patient as a function of the first clinical data and a cost factor, the workflow being for multiple actions by different entities of the healthcare facility and including a timeline for the actions;
gathering, with the processor, second clinical data after establishing and as part of the workflow for the care of the patient;
updating, with the processor, the workflow for the care of the patient as a function of the first and second clinical data and the cost factor, the updating occurring while the patient is at the healthcare facility; and
generating, with the processor, at least one alert for at least one of the multiple actions, the alert generated as a function of the timeline.

Abstract
Computer-based patient management is provided for healthcare. Patient data is used to determine a severity, assign a patient to a corresponding diagnosis-related group, and provide a timeline for care at a medical facility. Reminders or alerts are sent to maintain the timeline for more cost effective care. Reminders, suggestions, transitions between care givers, scheduling and other risk management actions are performed. As more data becomes available as part of the care, the care and timeline may be adjusted automatically for more efficient utilization of resources. Accountable care optimization is provided as part of case management. Automated care before any injury or illness and automated care after discharge is provided to optimize the health and costs for a patient. The patient is assigned to the cohort based on the patient data.

13. A system for computer-based patient management for healthcare, the system comprising:
-
at least one memory operable to store data for a plurality of patients; and a first processor configured to; classify each of the patients into diagnosis-related groups based on respective data for each of the patients; select a timeline to discharge as a function of the diagnosis-related group for each of the patients; alter the diagnosis-related group for at least one of the patients, the altering being based on a utilization and new data not used in the classifying; change the timeline for the one of the patients, the changing being a function of the altering; and monitor tasks across multiple medical professionals as a function of the timeline. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
