The server subsequently receives a measurement result from the communication device and updates the patient record based on the measurement result. The server prepares a care plan based on the patient record and provides the care plan to the communication device. The care plan includes a task. The server subsequently receives a task status from the communication device and updates the patient record based on the task status. | 02-16-2012 |
20130191162 | System and Method for Facilitating Outcome-Based Health Care - In an exemplary embodiment, a server receives from a communication device (i) an identifier of a patient and (ii) a login credential associated with an individual. The server makes a determination based on the login credential that the individual is authorized to access a patient record of the patient. Subsequent to making the determination, the server prepares an assessment based on the patient record, and provides the assessment to the communication device. The assessment includes a measurement. The server subsequently receives a measurement result from the communication device and updates the patient record based on the measurement result. The server prepares a care plan based on the patient record and provides the care plan to the communication device. The care plan includes a task. The server subsequently receives a task status from the communication device and updates the patient record based on the task status. | 07-25-2013 |
20130317836 | Systems and Methods for Time Management in a Healthcare System - Embodiments disclose systems and methods for time management in a healthcare system. The method may be executable to receive data indicative of an actual time value associated with a care event and identify an expected time value associated with the care event. The method may be further executable to determine that the difference between the actual time value associated with the care event and the expected time value associated with the care event is within a threshold range. Based on the determination, the method may be executable to process the expected time value associated with the care event instead of the actual time value associated with the care event. | 11-28-2013 |
20140012591 | Systems and Methods for a Destination-Based Care Services Model - Examples disclose systems and method for a destination-based care services model. The method may be executable to receive from a computing device location data associated with a plurality of patients, and identify a task associated with one or more of the patients. The method may be further executable to determine that a patient task has been initiated and subsequently paused prior to completion of the patient task. Moreover, the method may be executable to detect that the patient task was later resumed, and determine a total time to complete the patient task. An alert may be generated if the total time to complete the patient task is outside of an allowable threshold. | 01-09-2014 |
