Abstract

Methods, systems, computer storage media, and graphical user interfaces for population health management are disclosed. The population health management system may allow for cross-continuum tracking and subsequent interactions with transactional systems, providers, and/or patients. The population health management system may include utilizing clinically relevant algorithms to populate registries to enable healthcare providers to better facilitate care for a population of patients. The population health management system may consolidate and provide comprehensive condition-specific and/or patient situation specific information that is accessible and updatable across venues. The population health management system may create cross venue antibiograms based on medications information and susceptibility results which can be filtered for selected demographics. The population health management system may be utilized to provide multiple medication options including dosing, generic alternatives, cost, availability, and susceptibility information. Inappropriate trends may be flagged and monitored and medication stewards may be alerted or notified to intervene.

Claims

1. One or more computer storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method that facilitates using at least one clinically relevant algorithm in population health programs, the method comprising:

receiving, at a population health server, healthcare data from disparate sources;

utilizing the population health server to stratify a population of patients based on one or more algorithms to create one or more groups of patients, wherein the one or more algorithms comprise at least one clinically relevant algorithm utilizing clinical data, wherein at least one group of the one or more groups of patients comprises a plurality of patients having at least one substantially similar attribute; and

utilizing the population health server to create at least one registry, the at least one registry comprising at least a portion of the one or more groups.

2. The media of claim 1, wherein the healthcare data comprises one or more of clinical data, healthcare-related financial data, and patient sensor and/or patient device data.

3. The media of claim 1, wherein the clinical data comprises one or more of medications, laboratory values, diagnostics, and clinician assessments and/or narratives.

4. The media of claim 1, wherein, the method further comprises updating the at least one registry when additional clinical data is available for the at least one clinically relevant algorithm to utilize.

5. The media of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises identifying at least a portion of the population of patients based, at least partly, on one or more medical conditions.

6. The media of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises utilizing the at least one registry to provide a proposed plan of care for a first patient in a first group of the at least a portion of the one or more groups.

8. The media of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises utilizing the at least one registry to propose a plan to allocate healthcare resources to at least a portion of the population of patients.

9. The media of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises providing the opportunity for a clinician to confirm an output of the one or more algorithms.

10. A computer system that facilitates designing and utilizing population health programs, the computer system comprising a processor coupled to a computer storage medium, the computer storage medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer software components executable by the processor, the computer software components comprising:

a receiving component that receives healthcare data from disparate sources;

a stratifying component that stratifies a population of patients based on one or more algorithms, the one or more algorithms comprising at least one clinically relevant algorithm; and

a creating component that creates a registry for at least a portion of the population of patients, wherein the registry accounts for one or more of;

resources available to a patient;

lifestyle and prognostic assets that can be used for prediction;

or assets necessary for attribution, allocation, or measurement.

7. The media of claim 13, wherein the method further comprises utilizing the at least one registry to provide a proposed plan of care for a second patient in a second group of the at least a portion of the one or more groups, wherein the first plan of care is different than the second plan or care.

11. The computer system of claim 10, wherein the healthcare data comprises one or more of clinical data, healthcare-related financial data, and patient sensor and/or patient device data.

12. The computer system of claim 10, wherein the clinical data comprises one or more of medications, laboratory values, diagnostics, and clinician assessments and/or narratives.

13. The computer system of claim 10, wherein the stratifying component is configured to re-stratify the population of patients when additional clinical data is available for the at least one clinically relevant algorithm to utilize.

14. The computer system of claim 13, wherein the creating component is configured to update the registry based on a re-stratification of the population of patients.

15. The computer system of claim 10, further comprising an identifying component that identifies at least a portion of the population of patients based on a set of criteria.

16. The computer system of claim 15, wherein the set of criteria comprises one or more medical conditions.

17. The computer system of claim 10, further comprising a management component that is configured to provide a proposed plan of care for at least one patient of the at least a portion of the population of patients.

18. One or more computer storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method that facilitates utilizing clinically relevant algorithms for registry population, the method comprising:

receiving, at a population health server, healthcare data from disparate sources;

utilizing the population health server to identify a population of patients based, at least partly, on one or more medical conditions;

utilizing the population health server to stratify the population of patients based on at least a clinically relevant algorithm, the clinically relevant algorithm utilizing clinical data, the clinical data including one or more of medication information, laboratory values, diagnostics, clinician narratives, and clinician assessments;

utilizing the population health server to create at least one registry for the population of patients based on at least a portion of an output of the clinically relevant algorithm; and

utilizing the population health server to update the at least one registry when additional clinical data is available for the clinically relevant algorithm to utilize.

19. The media of claim 18, wherein the healthcare data comprises one or more of clinical data, healthcare-related financial data, and patient sensor and/or patient device data.

20. The media of claim 18, wherein the method further comprises providing the opportunity for a clinician to confirm an output of the one or more algorithms.
