Abstract

Systems and method for use in diagnosing a medical condition of a patient are provided. The method includes providing medical condition information, receiving patient data relating to the medical condition information, comparing the received data to a baseline, and determining, by a computing device including a processor, a class of patient based on the received patient data.

Claims

1. A method for diagnosing a medical condition of a patient, said method comprising:

providing medical condition information;

receiving patient data relating to the medical condition information;

comparing the received data to a baseline; and

determining, by a computing device including a processor, a class of patient based on the received patient data.

2. A method according to claim 1, further comprising providing a directive based on the received patient data.

3. A method according to claim 2, further comprising receiving patient directive data relating to the provided directive.

4. A method according to claim 3, wherein receiving patient directive data comprises receiving video of a patient performing the provided directive.

5. A method according to claim 3, wherein receiving patient directive data comprises receiving sensor data obtained during a performance of the provided directive.

6. A method according to claim 1, wherein determining a class of patient comprises diagnosing a medical condition.

7. A method according to claim 1, wherein providing medical condition information comprises providing a medical condition questionnaire.

8. A method according to claim 1, wherein determining a class of patient comprises determining, by a portable computing device, a class of patient.

9. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon are provided, wherein when executed by a processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the processor to:

provide medical condition information;

receive patient data relating to the medical condition information;

compare the received data to a baseline; and

determine a class of patient based on the received patient data.

10. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media according to claim 9, wherein the computer-executable instructions cause the processor to provide a directive based on the received patient data.

11. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media according to claim 10, wherein the computer-executable instructions cause the processor to receive patient directive data relating to the provided directive.

12. A method for determining a quality of care score for treatment associated with a patient, said method comprising:

receiving patient data;

tracking at least one treatment provided to a patient;

monitoring at least one result of the at least one treatment; and

determining, by a computing device including a processor, a quality of care score based on the at least one result.

13. A method according to claim 12, wherein determining a quality of care score comprises comparing the at least one result to the received patient data.

14. A method according to claim 12, wherein determining a quality of care score comprises comparing the at least one result to a baseline.

15. A method according to claim 12, further comprising normalizing the at least one result.

16. A method according to claim 12, further comprising transmitting the determined quality of care score to a payer of the at least one treatment provided.

17. A method according to claim 12, further comprising determining at least one of a payment amount and a payment percentage based on the determined quality of care score.

18. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon are provided, wherein when executed by a processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the processor to:

receive patient data;

track at least one treatment provided to a patient;

monitor at least one result of the at least one treatment; and

determine a quality of care score based on the at least one result.

19. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media according to claim 18, wherein the computer-executable instructions cause the processor to normalize the at least one result.

20. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media according to claim 18, wherein the computer-executable instructions cause the processor to transmit the determined quality of care score to a payer of the at least one treatment provided.
