Abstract

An embodiment provides a method, including: accepting, from a mobile device, clinician credentials; authenticating, using a processor, a clinician using the clinician credentials; displaying, at the mobile device, a clinician specific data within a mobile device application, wherein the clinician specific data includes a plurality of patients currently associated with the clinician credentials; displaying, at the mobile device, an admission request form for requesting that a patient of the plurality of patients be admitted to another healthcare facility; accepting, at the mobile device, user input that populates one or more data fields of the admission request form; communicating, over a network connection, to a remote device an admission request generated using the user input; receiving, at the mobile device, admission confirmation data; and updating, using a processor, an admission status for the patient. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

accepting, from a mobile device, clinician credentials;

authenticating, using a processor, a clinician using the clinician credentials;

displaying, at the mobile device, a clinician specific data within a mobile device application, wherein the clinician specific data includes a plurality of patients currently associated with the clinician credentials;

displaying, at the mobile device, an admission request form for requesting that a patient of the plurality of patients be admitted to another healthcare facility;

accepting, at the mobile device, user input that populates one or more data fields of the admission request form;

communicating, over a network connection, to a remote device an admission request generated using the user input;

receiving, at the mobile device, admission confirmation data; and

updating, using a processor, an admission status for the patient.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the admission request form comprises a transfer request form.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the clinician credentials are primary care physician credentials; and

the another health care facility is a hospital selected from a predetermined group of hospitals.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, at the mobile device, one or more patient updates associated with the patient.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the one or more patient updates are generated by a hospital that accepted the admission request.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the one or more patient updates are generated as the patient progresses through a course of hospital treatments.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the one or more patient updates are automatically communicated to the mobile device.

10. The method of claim 5, further comprising receiving, at the mobile device, a message from a clinician at the hospital that accepted the admission request.

11. A method, comprising:

accepting, from a mobile device, clinician credentials;

authenticating, using a processor, a clinician using the clinician credentials;

displaying, at the mobile device, clinician specific data within a mobile device application, wherein the clinician specific data includes a plurality of patients currently associated with the clinician credentials;

obtaining, at the mobile device, a clinician specific performance metric based on historical data;

analyzing, using a processor, the plurality of patients based on the clinician specific performance metric; and

displaying, at the mobile device, at least one suggestion regarding the plurality of patients for improving the clinician specific performance metric.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising obtaining, at the mobile device, contact information of one or more other clinicians associated with at least one patient of the plurality of patients;

wherein the at least one suggestion comprises suggesting contact with the at least one other clinician.
