Skilled nursing facility patient triage system

A method for facilitating computer-assisted care for skilled nursing facility (SNF) patients at risk of clinical deterioration and/or in need of medical intervention relative to a larger population of SNF patients, the system comprising one or more hardware processors and one or more computing devices, the method comprising:

• obtaining, with the one or more hardware processors, care information for the larger population of SNF patients, the care information comprising physiological information collected by caregivers during care for the larger population of SNF patients;
• facilitating, with the one or more hardware processors, collection of SNF enhancement information for the larger population of SNF patients, the SNF enhancement information comprising information related to SNF specific care provided to the larger population of SNF patients;
• determining, with the one or more hardware processors, care information scores for individual SNF patients based on the obtained care information, the care information scores determined using a first set of severity weights associated with individual components of the care information;
• determining, with the one or more hardware processors, SNF enhancement scores for the individual SNF patients based on the SNF enhancement information, the SNF enhancement scores determined using a second set of severity weights associated with individual components of the SNF enhancement information, wherein the second set of severity weights are heavier than the first set of severity weights such that the SNF enhancement scores are weighted more heavily than the care information scores for the individual SNF patients;
• combining, with the one or more hardware processors, the care information scores with the SNF enhancement scores for the individual SNF patients to determine a combined score that indicates risk of clinical deterioration and/or a need for medical intervention for the individual SNF patients;
• controlling, with the one or more hardware processors, a medical device associated with an individual SNF patient to treat the individual SNF patient based on the combined score for the individual patient;
• displaying, with the one or more computing devices, the combined scores for the individual SNF patients as a triaged list of individual SNF patients in a first view of a graphical user interface displayed on the one or more computing devices;
• displaying one or more fields in a second view of the graphical user interface configured to receive entry and/or selection of the SNF enhancement information;
• and
• displaying instructions to a caregiver via a third view of the graphical user interface.

A non-transitory medium for facilitating computer-assisted care for skilled nursing facility (SNF) patients at risk of clinical deterioration and/or in need of medical intervention relative to a larger population of SNF patients when instructions on the non-transitory medium are executed by a computer, the non-transitory medium comprising:

• instructions for obtaining care information for the larger population of SNF patients, the care information comprising physiological information collected by caregivers during care for the larger population of SNF patients;
• instructions for facilitating collection of SNF enhancement information for the larger population of SNF patients, the SNF enhancement information comprising information related to SNF specific care provided to the larger population of SNF patients;
• instructions for determining care information scores for individual SNF patients based on the obtained care information, the care information scores determined using a first set of severity weights associated with individual components of the care information;
• instructions for determining SNF enhancement scores for the individual SNF patients based on the SNF enhancement information, the SNF enhancement scores determined using a second set of severity weights associated with individual components of the SNF enhancement information, wherein the second set of severity weights are heavier than the first set of severity weights such that the SNF enhancement scores are weighted more heavily than the care information scores for the individual SNF patients;
• instructions for combining the care information scores with the SNF enhancement scores for the individual SNF patients to determine a combined score that indicates risk of clinical deterioration and/or a need for medical intervention for the individual SNF patients;
• instructions for controlling, with the one or more hardware processors, a medical device associated with an individual SNF patient to treat the individual SNF patient based on the combined score for the individual patient;
• instructions for displaying the combined scores for the individual SNF patients as a triaged list of individual SNF patients in a first view of a graphical user interface;
• instructions for displaying one or more fields in a second view of the graphical user interface configured to receive entry and/or selection of the SNF enhancement information;
• and
• instructions for displaying instructions to a caregiver via a third view of the graphical user interface.
