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 designing and utilizing population health programs

stratifying a population of patients, via a population health server, based on one or more algorithms to create one or more groups of patients, 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;

providing a worklist to a device associated with the user, the worklist comprising a list of one or more patients from the at least a portion of the one or more groups;

receiving a selection of a patient from the list of one or more patients; and

providing a situational view for the patient, the situation view including patient information, vitals and measurements, appointments, a care plan, alerts, a longitudinal record, and/or a care team.

2. The media of claim 1, wherein the situational view includes background information for the patient including age, contact information and health insurance information.

3. The media of claim 1, wherein the alerts includes a notification that the patient has been added to a new registry.

4. The media of claim 1, wherein the longitudinal record includes a timeline view that provides medical information associate with a patient regarding at least one medical condition, the timeline view including information across all providers and/or venues for the patient with respect to the at least one medical condition.

5. The media of claim 4, further comprising receiving an interaction with the timeline view.

6. The media of claim 5, further comprising, in response to receiving the interaction, revealing at least a portion of the medical information related to the at least one medical condition for a specified time.

7. The media of claim 1, further comprising providing a list of education programs recommended for a patient related to the at least one medical condition.

8. The media of claim 7, further comprising indicating which education programs have been completed by the patient.

9. The media of claim 1, wherein the situational view enables cross-venue communications.

10. The media of claim 1, wherein the situational view consolidates and reconciles information across condition based programs.

11. The media of claim 1, wherein situational view captures and displays sensitive, patient-specific information within the purview of multiple, cross-continuum healthcare providers.

12. The media of claim 1, wherein the situational view is provided as a preview within a single view on a portion of a home page or viewing page.

13. The media of claim 12, wherein the preview provides alerts, notifications, registry identification, program enrollment, model predictions, and time sensitive events of interest for the patient.

14. The media of claim 12, wherein the alerts expire after a given time period.

15. The media of claim 12, wherein information provided in the preview is available for viewing over time and is not eliminated from the preview once a first clinician has viewed the information.

16. The media of claim 1, further comprising indicating a situation has occurred or may occur.

17. The media of claim 16, further comprising sequentially revealing a time of events related to the situation.

18. The media of claim 17, further comprising flagging particular events of interest for communication with additional providers.

19. 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 stratifying component that stratifies a population of patients based on one or more algorithms to create one or more groups of patients, 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;

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;

a situational component that provides, upon selection of a patient by a user from the worklist, a situational view for the patient, the situational view including patient information, vitals and measurements, appointments, a care plan, alerts, a longitudinal record, and/or a care team, the situational view comprising indicating a situation has occurred or may occur, sequentially revealing a time of events related to the situation, and flagging particular events of interest for communication with additional providers.

20. A computer-implemented method in a clinical computing environment comprising:

stratifying, via a first computing process, a population of patients based on one or more algorithms to create one or more groups of patients, 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

providing, via a second computing process, a worklist to a device associated with the user, the worklist comprising 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; and

providing, via a third computing process, upon selection of a patient by a user from the worklist, a situational view for the patient, the situational view including patient information, vitals and measurements, appointments, a care plan, alerts, a longitudinal record, and/or a care team, the situational view comprising indicating a situation has occurred or may occur, sequentially revealing a time of events related to the situation, and flagging particular events of interest for communication with additional providers;

wherein each of the computing processes is performed by one or more computing devices.
