System and method for facilitating multi-provider patient discharge with the aid of a digital computer

A method for cloud-based facilitation of multi-provider patient discharge with the aid of a digital computer, comprising:

• obtaining, by one or more of a plurality of background process servers comprised within a cloud-computing environment, information regarding a plurality of service providers of different types located in multiple jurisdictions, the service provider information comprising a geographic location of each of the service providers within one of the multiple jurisdictions and care capabilities of the service providers;
• receiving, via one of a plurality of Internetworks, by a load balancing service comprised within the cloud-computing environment and implemented by one or more servers, from a computing device associated with one of a plurality of discharging facilities, each discharging facility located in one of the multiple jurisdictions, encrypted discharge information for one of a plurality of patients, each patient located in one of the multiple jurisdictions, the discharge information comprising care needs of the patient, medical information of the patient, and geographic preferences of the patient for being discharged to a care of the service providers of at least two of the types;
• providing, by the load balancing service, the received discharge information to one of a plurality of web servers comprised within the cloud computing environment, and assigning, by the load balancing service, to perform encrypted communication with that computing device to that web server, wherein the web servers and the background process servers communicate via a message queuing service comprised within the cloud computing environment, and wherein the web server stores session data regarding the encrypted communication;
• updating by the cloud-computing environment the received discharge information comprising retrieving the updated discharge information via a WebSocket API based on only a single user command and providing via a user interface a bar showing a progress of the retrieval;
• comparing, by the web server, the service provider information to the updated discharge information for the patient;
• identifying, by the web server, one or more of the service providers of each of the at least two types suitable for the patient based on the comparison;
• identifying, by the web server, at least one suitable service provider of each of the at least two types willing to accept the patient to their care;
• causing at least in part the patient to be discharged to the care of one of the willing service providers of each of the at least two types by one or more of the web servers;
• and
• receiving by one or more of the web servers from computing devices associated with the willing service providers to whose care the patient has been discharged confirmations that the patient has been discharged to the care of those service providers.
