20140136237 | HEALTHCARE DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - Efficient computer distribution of healthcare information is achieved by computer aggregating the healthcare information directly from multiple sources, namely, computers of healthcare providers, including EHR vendors, and patients. Financial incentives to share information are provided to the sources. Healthcare information may de-identified by removing some specific information about the patient and the provider, and inserting generalized information about each. Healthcare providers and patients may prohibit use of their information, limit the content of their information, and control to whom their information is sold. Compensation and distribution of information among purchasers may be controlled to ensure fairness. The healthcare information may be analyzed, reordered and filtered to generate data or reports in response to a purchase request. | 05-15-2014 |
20150154358 | COMPUTER GENERATING AND MODIFYING MEDICAL RECORDS TO COMPLY WITH CUSTOMER RESTRICTIONS - Medical records are created and modified based upon the needs of the user. In addition to selecting information needed by a user from a database, the present invention identifies and eliminates information from the medical records that is not needed or wanted. A computer database is created by receiving from healthcare providers a plurality of electronic encounter records. The computer further receives input data relating to the medical information that the customer wishes to include in the desired report. The input data may include items to be included in the report or items to be excluded from the report. The computer analyzes the patient encounter records in the database to identify and select a subset of patient encounter records based on the input data. The computer analyzes the subset of patient encounter records to identify and remove medical information to thereby create a sub-subset of medical information again based on the input data provided by the customer. A desired report is computer generated from the patient encounter records based on the sub-subset of medical information. | 06-04-2015 |
20160048644 | HEALTH CARE EXPERIENCE DATA MANAGEMENT - An apparatus that includes an input portal for receiving data including pointers for identifying health care providers and performance data correlated to the pointers.

A second analyzer analyzes the categories of data and scores the data within each category to produce an outcome score for each category of data, where each outcome score is associated with a pointer. An access portal provides access to the data to health care providers, and provides health care provider-selectable display criteria to the health care providers using the access portal, and records a display criteria selected by each health care provider. A selection portal provides access to the data to users, and presents choice criteria to users using the selection portal, and receives and stores the choice criteria from users. The choice criteria includes at least a subset of the health care provider information. An information manager displays information to a user based upon the compiled data including the categories of data and the pointers, the outcome scores, the pointers, the display criteria and the choice criteria. | 02-18-2016 |
