Abstract

Devices and methods for clinical management and analytics can include a dashboard configured to be displayed on a device. Dashboards can include one or more graphs including a representation of a total number of patients and a set of the patients that have a common status relative to a metric. One or more of the graphs can include an area that is representative of the set of patients. The area can be selected to display information associated with the set of patients. The information can comprise contact information, demographic information, or health care cost information, for example.

Claims

1. A computer-enabled system for clinical management, comprising:

a data module that outputs, by a processor, (i) a first indicator, of data representative of a total number of patients in a group and a quantity of patients in the group with a common status relative to a metric, and (ii) a second indicator, of an area selectable at a client device, the area corresponding to the quantity;

wherein the first and second indicators are displayable at the client device; and

a response module that outputs, in response to receipt of a command representative of a selection of the area at the client device, a third indicator, descriptive of a set of patients in the group that correspond to the quantity;

wherein the third indicator is displayable at the client device.

2. The computer-enabled system of claim 1, wherein the third indicator comprises contact information for the set of patients.

3. The computer-enabled system of claim 1, wherein the third indicator comprises demographic information regarding the set of patients.

4. The computer-enabled system of claim 1, wherein the third indicator comprises health care cost information regarding of the set of patients.

5. The computer-enabled system of claim 1, wherein the first indicator further represents a second quantity of patients in the group with a common status relative to a second metric.

6. The computer-enabled system of claim 1, wherein the data module further outputs an fourth indicator, identifying of the metric, the fourth indicator being displayable at the client device.

7. The computer-enabled system of claim 1, wherein the area comprises at least one a graphical representation of the quantity.

8. The computer-enabled system of claim 1, wherein the third indicator comprises clinical data.

9. The computer-enabled system of claim 1, wherein the metric pertains to one of performance of a patient treatment or a patient attribute.

10. The computer-enabled system of claim 1, wherein the data module further outputs an benchmark indicator, of a clinical benchmark in connection with the metric.

11. A method for identifying patients for treatment intervention, comprising:

receiving, by a processor and at a client device, data representative of a total number of patients in a group and a quantity of patients in the group having a common status relative to a metric;

displaying a representation of the data with a selectable area corresponding to the quantity;

receiving an input indicating selection, by a user, of the selectable area; and

displaying, at the client device, an indicator of information regarding a set of patients that correspond to the quantity;

wherein the information comprises at least one of contact information, demographic information, or health care cost information.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising receiving data representative of at least a second quantity of patients in the group with a common status relative to a second metric and displaying a representation of the data representative of the second quantity.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein displaying the representation of the data comprises displaying a graphical representation of the total number and the quantity.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the selectable area comprises a graphical representation of the quantity.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein the quantity is displayed as a percentage of the total number.

16. The method of claim 11, further comprising receiving data representative of the metric and displaying an indication of the metric.

17. The method of claim 11, wherein the patient data further comprises clinical data.

18. The method of claim 11, further comprising receiving data representative of a benchmark in connection with the metric, and displaying an indication of the benchmark.

19. The method of claim 11, further comprising selecting a selectable option corresponding to a period of time from a current time to display a list of patients, among the set of patients, that have an appointment within the selected period of time.

20. The method of claim 11, wherein displaying at the client device comprises displaying at one of a smart phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, or a tablet computer.
