Abstract
Systems and methods for managing health related resources. A length of stay (LOS) module and a waitlist module receive patient data from a database and, based on at least this data, determine probabilities for one or more patients. For the LOS module, the probability of staying for less than 2 days or more than 7 days after a specific type of surgical procedure is determined. For the waitlist module, the probability of the patient dying or becoming hospitalized within a specific amount of time while on a waiting list is determined. These probabilities are then used by a resource management module to adjust or reallocate health related resources such as critical care slots or surgical procedure scheduling.
Claims28
A system for managing health related resources, the system comprising:
- a database storing patient data;
- a length of stay (LOS) module for calculating probabilities relating to a patient's projected length of stay at a health care facility;
- a waitlist module for calculating probabilities relating to at least one of:
- a mortality and an unplanned hospitalization of at least one patient on a waiting list for health related resources;
- a resource management module receiving probability outputs of said LOS module and of said waitlist module, said resource management module adjusting allocation of health related resources based on said probability outputs of said LOS module and of said waitlist module;
- wherein
- said probabilities calculated by said LOS module are based on patient data stored in said database;
- said probabilities calculated by said waitlist module are based on patient data stored in said database.
