System and method for determining and indicating value of healthcare

A computer-implemented method for improving a physician's workflow by analyzing, determining and displaying a value of a medical treatment plan for patients during visits to a medical facility, comprising:

• entering a first patient into an electronic medical records (EMR) system of the medical facility comprising a processor:
• assigning the first patient a Visit ID, and
• entering a diagnosis of a medical condition of the first patient, and
• displaying on an EMR page of an EMR/HVA access device, an electronic medical record for the first patient;
• the processor providing the diagnosis and patient EMR data to a health care value (HVA) analytics server separate from the EMR system;
• receiving a health care value continuum and health care value progress bar for the first patient from the HVA server,
• receiving a running comparison of the health care value continuum to a value baseline;
• and
• providing HVA data as a plurality of HVA data objects and HVA page data to the EMR/HVA access device to display on an HVA page, the health care value continuum to value baseline running comparison as a health care value progress bar, comprising:
• detecting a location of the EMR page on a display screen of the EMR/HVA access device,
• detecting an activity related to medical treatment of the first patient,
• receiving from the HVA server, the HVA page data and the HVA data objects for the first patient,
• displaying and maintaining displayed the HVA data objects on the HVA page adjacent to the EMR page during display of the electronic medical record of the first patient,
• detecting a navigation away event consisting of a request to display a second electronic medical record for a second patient, and
• automatically discontinuing display of the HVA data objects for the first patient and the HVA page upon discontinuance of displaying the electronic medical record of the first patient.

A computer-implemented method for improving a physician's workflow, the physician treating a patient having a medical condition and a diagnosis corresponding to the medical condition, comprising:

• a processor:
• entering the patient into an electronic medical records (EMR) system of a medical facility visited by the patient,
• recording a medical treatment plan provided by the physician for the patient, and
• generating a portal for accessing and displaying the medical treatment plan;
• and
• a health care value analytics (HVA) system separate from the EMR system and comprising an HVA server and an EMR/HVA access device, the EMR/HVA access device executed by a second processor on a physician's computing device, the method comprising:
• accessing and using historical data, generating a value baseline for approved medical treatments of medical conditions addressed by the diagnosis,
• generating one or more HVA data objects that provide a running comparison of the medical treatment plan and the value baseline, and
• providing the HVA data objects for display through the portal and the EMR/HVA access device, comprising:
• detecting a location of an EMR page on a display screen of the physician's computing device;
• detecting an activity related to medical treatment of the patient;
• receiving from the HVA server, HVA page data and the HVA data objects for the patient;
• displaying and maintaining displayed the HVA data objects on the HVA page adjacent to the EMR page during display of the electronic medical record of the patient;
• detecting a navigation away event consisting of a request to display a second electronic medical record for a second patient;
• and
• automatically discontinuing display of the HVA data objects for the patient and the HVA page upon discontinuance of displaying the electronic medical record of the patient and displaying the second electronic medical record for the second patient.
