Abstract

The exemplary embodiments are related to systems and methods for ordering self-care behaviors according to an exemplary embodiment described herein. One embodiment relates to a method comprising receiving a desired outcome for a patient having a condition; retrieving information relating to a plurality of self-care behaviors; generating, from the information and the desired outcome, a population-specific ordered list of the self-care behaviors; receiving a self-care behavior assessment for the patient; and generating, from the self-care behavior assessment and the population-specific ordered list, a patient-specific ordered list of the self-care behaviors.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a desired outcome for a patient having a condition;

retrieving information relating to a plurality of self-care behaviors;

generating, from the information and the desired outcome, a population-specific ordered list of the self-care behaviors;

receiving a self-care behavior assessment for the patient; and

generating, from the self-care behavior assessment and the population-specific ordered list, a patient-specific ordered list of the self-care behaviors.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the information retrieved comprises one of clinical guidelines, local hospital standards of clinical practice, and recent clinical trials.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the population-specific ordered list corresponds to the condition.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the desired outcome is one of a reduced likelihood of hospital admission, a reduced likelihood of mortality, an improved quality of life, and an improved patient health.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the information is retrieved from a database.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the information includes an effect of each of the self-care behaviors on the condition and the desired outcome.

6. (canceled)

7. (canceled)

9. A system, comprising:

a processor;

a memory;

an extraction module receiving a desired outcome for a patient having a condition, retrieving information relating to a plurality of self-care behaviors, the information including an effect of each of the self-care behaviors on the condition and the desired outcome, and generating, from the information, a population-specific ordered list of the self-care behaviors; and

a combination module receiving a self-care behavior assessment for the patient and generating, from the self-care behavior assessment and the population-specific ordered list, a patient-specific ordered list of the self-care behaviors.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the information retrieved by the extraction module comprises one of clinical guidelines, local hospital standards of clinical practice, and recent clinical trials.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the population-specific ordered list corresponds to the condition.

12. The system of claim 9, wherein the desired outcome is one of a reduced likelihood of hospital admission, a reduced likelihood of mortality, an improved quality of life, and an improved patient health.

13. The system of claim 9, further comprising:

a database storing the information.

16. The system of claim 9, wherein the information includes an effect of each of the self-care behaviors on the condition and the desired outcome.

14. (canceled)

15. (canceled)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions executable by a processor, the set of instructions being operable to:

receive a desired outcome for a patient having a condition;

retrieve information relating to a plurality of self-care behaviors, the information including an effect of each of the self-care behaviors on the condition and the desired outcome;

generate, from the information, a population-specific ordered list of the self-care behaviors;

receive a self-care behavior assessment for the patient; and

generate, from the self-care behavior assessment and the population-specific ordered list, a patient-specific ordered list of the self-care behaviors.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the information is retrieved from a database.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 18, wherein the population-specific ordered list corresponds to the condition.

19. (canceled)
