Abstract
A healthcare management system for evaluating medical risk and health state of a consumer comprising a gateway configured to obtain clinical information and non-clinical information for the consumer, determine a composite healthcare index (HCI) for the consumer based on both the clinical information and non-clinical information, and share the composite HCI with a plurality of healthcare stakeholders that are authorized to receive the composite HCI, wherein the composite HCI is determined using a combination of a plurality of component HCI scores that are calculated using the clinical information and the non-clinical information.
Claims20
A healthcare management system for evaluating medical risk and health state of a consumer, comprising:
- a gateway configured to obtain clinical information and non-clinical information for the consumer, determine a composite healthcare index (HCI) for the consumer based on both the clinical information and non-clinical information, and share the composite HCI with a plurality of healthcare stakeholders that are authorized to receive the composite HCI,
- wherein the composite HCI is determined using a combination of a plurality of component HCI scores that are calculated using the clinical information and the non-clinical information.
An apparatus for healthcare information management comprising a processor configured to:
- obtain information about a consumer comprising clinical data and non-clinical data;
- determine a plurality of component healthcare index (HCI) scores based on the clinical and non-clinical data;
- and
- determine a composite HCI score for the consumer based on a combination of the clinical data and non-clinical data and on a plurality of significance factors that indicate the statistical significance and reliability of the clinical data and non-clinical data.
A method implemented by a healthcare management information system, comprising:
- calculating a plurality of consumer healthcare index (HCI) scores for a plurality of healthcare consumers based on clinical data and additional non-clinical data of the healthcare consumers;
- calculating a plurality of aggregate HCI scores for a plurality of healthcare stakeholders based on tracking the consumer HCI scores over time;
- and
- sharing the consumer HCI scores and the aggregate HCI scores with at least some of the healthcare consumers and the healthcare stakeholders that are authorized to access the consumer HCI scores and the aggregate HCI scores.
