Patient care complexity characterization and clinical decision making facilitation
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11923056B1) outlines a computer-implemented method for facilitating clinical decision-making. The method involves creating a target patient data frame based on patient information obtained through a clinician interface, generating a timeseries for the patient with complexity indicators, determining patient condition trajectories, matching these trajectories to a reference set of clinical event sequences, and recommending condition interventions based on these matches. The system utilizes a database scan approach, distributed data stores, multi-cluster models, and clinician interfaces to automate the process of identifying and recommending interventions to mitigate clinical conditions based on patient data and historical event sequences.
Furthermore, the patent details the creation of a data frame associated with a patient, determining frequently occurring order-event baskets in reference event sequences, and providing order recommendations for the patient based on these baskets. The method also involves ranking order recommendations, providing them to caregivers, and comparing inter-event patterns in patient timeseries to those in reference event sequences. The system aims to streamline clinical decision-making by leveraging historical data, complex algorithms, and clinician interfaces to automatically generate recommendations for patient care interventions, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of clinical decision-making processes.
