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

an identifying component that identifies a population of patients based on a set of criteria;

a stratifying component that stratifies the population of patients based on one or more algorithms; 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; and

assets necessary for attribution, allocation, or measurement.

11. The computer system of claim 10, wherein the disparate sources include a plurality of EMRs, and wherein at least a portion of the plurality of EMRs is associated with the same patient.

12. 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.

13. The computer system of claim 10, further comprising a management component that is configured to provide a proposed plan to allocate healthcare resources to the least a portion of the population of patients.

14. The computer system of claim 10, further comprising a worklist component that provides a worklist that comprises a list of one or more patients from the at least a portion of the one or more groups, the one or more patients associated with a substantially similar medical condition, wherein the worklist supports, across multiple venues, multiple providers, and multiple conditions, providing actionable decision support tools and interventions.

15. The computer system of claim 10, further comprising a condition component that provides information for display, the information comprising a timeline of events related to the one or more medical conditions for at least one patient, the timeline of events including laboratory results, medications, diagnostics, and/or interventions derived from the healthcare data from multiple venues and/or multiple providers

16. 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 designing and utilizing population health programs:
