Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method for providing a healthcare management platform. Specifically, an application server may be implemented to provide a website or application for access to various user portals of the platform while providing the facility'"'"'s management with analytical tools such as real-time patient satisfaction. For example, a patient may be given access to a private patient portal in order to at least submit performance surveys of employees of the facility. A patient may designate guests, who may access the patient portal as would the associated patient. An employee may be given access to a private employee portal in order to at least redeem virtual currency awarded automatically via positive survey results. An administrator may be given access to an administrator portal in order to at least view employee survey data.

11. The method of claim 2 further comprising:

providing the at least one employee access to an employee portal of the healthcare application in which the at least one employee may submit health data associated with the patient;

providing the patient portal of the healthcare application to the at least one user for installation on a remote device associated with the at least one user;

generating a health alert according to changes in the health data associated with the patient;

transmitting the health alert over a wireless communication channel to a wireless device associated with the at least one user;

notifying the at least one user to activate the patient portal of the healthcare application to view the health alert.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the transmitting step comprises activating the patient portal of the healthcare application to cause the health alert to display on the remote device associated with the at least one user whether the remote device is online or offline.

13. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

providing the at least one employee access to an employee portal of the healthcare application in which the at least one employee may submit health data associated with the patient;
