Chronic pain patient care plan
First Claim
1. A method for creating a chronic pain patient care plan, comprising:
- selecting direct medical indicia associated with chronic pain that serve as independent variables;
selecting indirect medical indicia associated with chronic pain that serve as independent variables;
selecting non-medical indicia associated with chronic pain that serve as independent variables;
selecting a chronic pain indication that serves as a dependent variable;
creating a chronic pain care model using direct medical indicia, indirect medical indicia, non-medical indicia, and chronic pain indication;
applying the chronic pain care model to a chronic pain patient to create a patient mathematical expression; and
, creating a chronic pain patient care plan by comparing each patient mathematical expression to selection objectives.

Abstract
The medical resource for chronic pain patients are forecasted using a method or computer software product to improve accuracy in forecasting medical resources, decrease the time required to forecast medical resources, and many other benefits. Desired patient indicia including direct medical indicia, indirect medical indicia, and non-medical indicia are selected to serve as independent variables. At least one chronic pain indication is selected to serve as a dependent variable. A chronic pain forecasting model is created using the patient indicia and the chronic pain indication. The chronic pain forecasting model is applied to a chronic pain patient indicia to create a patient forecast. Many different embodiments of the chronic pain patient identification system method and software product are possible.

26. A method for creating a chronic pain patient care, comprising:
-
accessing a chronic pain care model having direct medical indicia, indirect medical indicia, non-medical indicia, and a chronic pain indication that are arranged logic structure, with weighted variables, and equations representing relationship between or among the variables;
applying the chronic pain care model to a chronic pain patient to create a patient mathematical expression;
creating a chronic pain patient care plan by comparing each patient mathematical expression to selection objectives;
establishing categorization preferences that specify characteristics of the care plan that are desired to be categorized;
