Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-storage media are provided for facilitating the management of population health. A parallel processing architecture receives patient population health data from healthcare facilities along with any updated data. A high-level clinical logic is executed against the data to identify, among other things, patients in the population who qualify for health intervention programs. Using this information, healthcare facilities can implement management programs to help care for these patients.
Claims20
One or more computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a computing device, facilitate a method of identifying members of a population who qualify for one or more health intervention programs, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more sets of patient population health data;
- storing the one or more sets of patient population health data in association with a distributed storage system;
- and
- executing a first set of high-level clinical logic against the one or more sets of patient population health data to identify one or more members of the population who qualify for the one or more health intervention programs.
A computer-implemented system for processing and updating population health data, the system comprising:
- a runtime engine comprising:
- a plurality of batch processing nodes operable to:
- (A) receive one or more sets of patient population health data,
- (B) store the one or more sets of patient population health data in association with a distributed storage system, and
- (C) execute a high-level clinical logic against the one or more sets of patient population health data to identify a first set of members of the population who qualify for one or more health intervention programs;
- and
- a plurality of incremental processing nodes operable to:
- (A) receive updates to the one or more sets of patient population health data, and
- (B) execute the high-level clinical logic against the updates to identify a second set of members of the population who qualify for the one or more health intervention programs.
One or more computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a computing device, facilitate of method of managing population health, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more sets of patient population health data from one or more electronic medical record systems;
- storing the one or more sets of patient population health data in association with a distributed storage system;
- receiving one or more sets of updated patient population health data from the one or more electronic medical record systems;
- and
- executing a high-level clinical logic against the one or more sets of patient population health data and the one or more sets of updated patient population health data to identify one or more members of the population at risk who qualify for one or more health intervention programs.
