Abstract

The present disclosure pertains to a system for facilitating configuration modifications for a patient interface computer system based on risk of readmission of the patient. In some embodiments, the system obtains (i) patient demographics information associated with a patient, the patient previously having been admitted at a facility of a first type, (ii) disease information associated with the patient, and (iii) facility information associated with a facility of a second type, the facility information including one or more facility-specific factors associated with the facility of the second type. The system determines a risk of readmission to a facility of the first type for the patient based on the obtained patient demographics information, the disease information, and the facility information. The system causes a configuration of the patient interface computer system to be modified based on the determined risk of readmission.

Dependent claims

A system configured to facilitate configuration modifications for a remote patient interface computer system based on risk of readmission of a patient, the system comprising:

a remote patient interface computer system comprising one or more sensors configured to provide real-time signals conveying information indicating a measurement of the patient, and a wearable device configured to (1) at least one of receive and send one or more program instructions and (2) at least one of spot-check, periodically monitor, and continuously monitor the patient;
a database of patient demographics information for a plurality of patients;
one or more processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
(i) obtain patient demographics information associated with a patient, the patient previously having been admitted at a facility of a first type;
(ii) obtain disease information associated with the patient;
(iii) obtain facility information associated with a facility of a second type to which the patient has been admitted subsequent to the facility of the first type, the facility information including one or more facility-specific factors associated with the facility of the second type;
(iv) determine a risk of readmission to a facility of the first type for the patient based on the obtained patient demographics information, the disease information, and the facility information;
and (v) cause a configuration of the remote patient interface computer system to be modified based on the determined risk of readmission;
and
a remote live audio-visual consultation system;
wherein causing a configuration of the remote patient interface computer system to be modified includes remotely changing an amount of monitoring of the patient with the one or more sensors, and
wherein causing a configuration of the remote patient interface computer system to be modified further includes providing one or more of a notification, reminder, or direction(s) to the patient via the wearable device.

A method for facilitating configuration modifications for a remote patient interface computer system based on risk of readmission of a patient with a system, the system comprising:

(1) a remote patient interface computer system comprising one or more sensors configured to provide real-time signals conveying information indicating a measurement of the patient, and further comprising a wearable device, (2) one or more processors, and (3) a remote live audio-visual consultation system, the method comprising:
obtaining, with the one or more processors, patient demographics information associated with a patient from a database of the system comprising patient demographics information for a plurality of patients, the patient previously having been admitted at a facility of a first type;
obtaining, with the one or more processors, disease information associated with the patient;
obtaining, with the one or more processors, facility information associated with a facility of a second type to which the patient has been admitted subsequent to the facility of the first type, the facility information including one or more facility-specific factors associated with the facility of the second type;
determining, with the one or more processors, a risk of readmission to a facility of the first type for the patient based on the obtained patient demographics information, the disease information, and the facility information;
and
causing, with the one or more processors, a configuration of the remote patient interface computer system to be modified based on the determined risk of readmission;
wherein causing a configuration of the remote patient interface computer system to be modified includes remotely changing an amount of monitoring of the patient with the one or more sensors, and
wherein the step of causing, with the one or more processors, a configuration of the remote patient interface computer system to be modified based on the determined risk of readmission comprises providing one or more of a notification, reminder, or direction(s) to the patient via the wearable device.
