Systems and methods for value-based decision support
First Claim
1. A multi-dimensional clinical decision support system comprising:
- a processor connected to a memory, wherein the processor is programmed to implement the system comprising;
a care decision subsystem to receive a patient problem and at least one clinical patient attribute, the care decision subsystem to utilize the patient problem and the at least one clinical patient attribute to identify a plurality of patient care path options for evaluation by the patient and a provider and to generate a mashup of patient-specific criteria including clinical efficacy, cost, and access associated with each of the plurality of patient care path options, each of the plurality of patient care path options to be utilized in an evaluation by at least one of the patient and the provider with respect to an objective associated with the patient problem; and
a user interface to be accessible by the patient and the provider to graphically display the plurality of patient care path options and associated mashup of patient-specific criteria for review by the patient and the provider to facilitate a data-driven selection of at least one of the plurality of patient care path options based on comparative clinical efficacy, cost, confidence interval, and access tailored to the patient, wherein the cost comprises a) at least one of a total cost and b) a portion of the cost payable by the patient according to patient insurance policy information, andwherein the user interface is to facilitate scheduling, in conjunction with the care decision subsystem and an external system, of an appointment for a selected patient care path option with a selected provider, the selected patient care path option selected via the graphical display of the plurality of patient care path options and associated mashup of patient-specific criteria provided by the user interface.

Abstract
Systems and methods for multi-dimensional, value-based clinical care path decision support are provided. A system includes a care decision subsystem to receive a patient problem and at least one clinical patient attribute, to identify a plurality of patient care path options for evaluation by the patient and a provider, and to generate a mashup of patient-specific criteria including clinical efficacy, cost, and access associated with each of the plurality of patient care path options. Each of the plurality of patient care path options can be utilized in an evaluation with respect to an objective associated with the patient problem. A user interface displays the plurality of patient care path options and associated mashup of patient-specific criteria to facilitate a data-driven selection of at least one of the plurality of patient care path options based on comparative efficacy, cost, and access tailored to the patient.

14. A computer-implemented method to provide value-based clinical decision support, said method comprising:
-
receiving a patient problem and at least one clinical patient attribute; identifying, using a processor and a data source, a plurality of patient care path options for evaluation by the patient and a provider based on the patient problem and the at least one clinical patient attribute; generating, using the processor, values for a plurality patient-specific criteria including clinical efficacy, cost, confidence interval, and patient'"'"'s access associated with each of the plurality of patient care path options in comparative evaluation; displaying, via a user interface, each of the plurality of patient care path options and associated patient-specific criteria values for review by the patient and the provider to facilitate a data-driven selection of at least one of the plurality of patient care path options based on comparative efficacy, cost, and access tailored to the patient, wherein the cost comprises a total cost and a portion of the total cost payable by the patient according to patient insurance information; accepting, via the user interface, a selection of at least one of the plurality of patient care path options, the selected patient care path option selected via a graphical display of the plurality of patient care path options and an associated mashup of patient-specific criteria provided by the user interface; and scheduling, using the processor, an appointment for a selected patient care path option with a selected provider. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A tangible computer-readable storage medium having a set of instructions stored thereon which, when executed, instruct a processor to implement a clinical decision support system, the system comprising:
-
a care decision subsystem to receive a patient problem and at least one clinical patient attribute, the care decision subsystem to utilize the patient problem and the at least one clinical patient attribute to identify a plurality of patient care path options for evaluation by the patient and a provider and to generate a mashup of patient-specific criteria including clinical efficacy, cost, and access associated with each of the plurality of patient care path options, each of the plurality of patient care path options to be utilized in an evaluation by at least one of the patient and the provider with respect to an objective associated with the patient problem; and a user interface to be accessible by the patient and the provider to graphically display the plurality of patient care path options and associated mashup of patient-specific criteria for review by the patient and the provider to facilitate a data-driven selection of at least one of the plurality of patient care path options based on comparative clinical efficacy, cost, confidence interval, and access tailored to the patient, wherein the cost comprises a) at least one of a total cost and b) a portion of the cost payable by the patient according to patient insurance policy information, and wherein the user interface is to facilitate scheduling, in conjunction with the care decision subsystem and an external system, of an appointment for a selected patient care path option with a selected provider, the selected patient care path option selected via the graphical display of the plurality of patient care path options and associated mashup of patient-specific criteria provided by the user interface.
