SYSTEM AND METHOD TO MANAGE A QUALITY OF DELIVERY OF HEALTHCARE
First Claim
1. A method of managing a quality of delivery of healthcare to a patient, the method comprising:
- parsing, using a processor, a medical record for a patient, to identify at least one symptom data to compare to at least one keyword in each of a plurality of templates, the at least one keyword associated with a medical condition and a protocol to diagnose or treat the medical condition, each protocol comprising a plurality of tasks to be executed to complete the protocol according to a schedule associated with the protocol;
outputting, using the processor, a) a plurality of candidate hypothesis each associated with a different templates and b) a confidence level associated with each candidate hypothesis;
automatically outputting, using the processor, the protocol associated with a selected candidate hypothesis, the outputting to provide a representation of the protocol via an output device;
tracking completion of a portion of the protocol associated with the selected candidate hypotheses to deliver healthcare to the patient, wherein tracking completion of the portion of the protocol includes tracking completion of tasks executed according to the schedule associated with the protocol;
tracking a change in a quality of care metric directed to the patient with completion of the portion the protocol, the quality of care metric including at least one of a) a time to rate of reduction in a health risk to the patient and b) a time to or rate of reduction in symptom or abnormal biometric data of the patient;
outputting an alert using the processor in response to the quality of care metric exceeding a threshold; and
decreasing confidence in the selected candidate hypothesis and increasing confidence in one or more of the other plurality of candidate hypotheses triggered by acquiring the at least one quality of care metric exceeding the threshold.

Abstract
A system and method to manage a quality of delivery of healthcare to a patient. The method includes tracking completion of a portion of a protocol associated with one of a series of candidate hypotheses to deliver healthcare to the patient; tracking a change in a quality of care metric directed to the patient with completion of a portion the protocol, the quality of metric including at least one of a time to rate of reduction in a health risk to the patient and a time to or rate of reduction in symptom or abnormal biometric data of the patient; and outputting an alert in response to the quality of care metric exceeding a threshold.
