Abstract
A healthcare provisioning system improves efficiency in providing healthcare services. Healthcare supply and demand models are analyzed by a healthcare provisioning system to efficiently allocate healthcare supply resources to satisfy healthcare demand. Healthcare supply resources are allocated so as to avoid tipping points that can result in increased costs and negative patient outcomes.
Claims17
A healthcare provisioning system, comprising:
- a computer;
- a healthcare demand model that predicts a healthcare demand based on a series of tasks that need to be performed in response to a patient diagnosis;
- a healthcare supply model that predicts a healthcare supply resource required to perform a task predicted by the healthcare demand model;
- a healthcare provisioning engine executing on the computer configured to analyze the predicted healthcare demand and the predicted healthcare supply resource to predict when the healthcare supply resource will reach a tipping point, and to determine allocation of healthcare supply resources to meet healthcare demand to avoid reaching the tipping point of the healthcare supply resource;
- and
- a camera to perform real-time surveillance of a healthcare provider that is used by healthcare provisioning engine to determine is a tipping point is being reached or exceeded,
- wherein the healthcare supply model includes a cognitive capacity of an available healthcare supply, and wherein the healthcare provisioning engine determines one or more resources in the available healthcare supply that have sufficient cognitive capacity to respond to the predicted tasks so as to not reach a tipping point or to cause another healthcare supply resource to reach a tipping point.

A method for providing healthcare, comprising
- generating a healthcare demand model on a computer that predicts a healthcare demand based on a series of tasks that need to be performed in response to a patient diagnosis;
- generating a healthcare supply model on the computer that predicts a healthcare supply required to perform a task predicted by the healthcare demand model;
- analyzing the predicted healthcare demand and supply to predict when the healthcare supply resource will reach a tipping point on the computer;
- allocating healthcare supply resources to meet healthcare demand to avoid reaching the tipping point of the healthcare supply resource;
- and
- determining a cognitive capacity of an available healthcare supply
- determining one or more resources in the available healthcare supply that have sufficient cognitive capacity to respond to the predicted tasks so as to not reach a tipping point or to cause another healthcare supply resource to reach a tipping point;
- and
- using a camera to perform real-time surveillance of a healthcare provider that is used by healthcare provisioning engine to determine is a tipping point is being reached or exceeded.

A healthcare provisioning system, comprising:
- a computer;
- a healthcare demand model that predicts a healthcare demand based on a series of tasks that need to be performed in response to a patient diagnosis;
- a healthcare supply model that predicts a healthcare supply resource required to perform the tasks predicted by the health demand model;
- a biometric sensor configured to detect a biometric parameter of a healthcare provider that is used to predict whether the healthcare provider is nearing or has reached a tipping point;
- a healthcare provisioning engine executing on the computer to analyze the predicted healthcare demand and the predicted healthcare supply resource to predict when the healthcare supply resource will reach a tipping point, and to determine allocation of healthcare supply resources to meet healthcare demand to avoid reaching the tipping point of the healthcare provider or any other healthcare supply resource;
- and
- a camera to perform real-time surveillance of a healthcare provider that is used by healthcare provisioning engine to determine is a tipping point is being reached or exceeded,
- wherein the healthcare supply model includes a cognitive capacity of an available healthcare supply, and wherein the healthcare provisioning engine determines one or more resources in the available healthcare supply that have sufficient cognitive capacity to respond to the predicted tasks so as to not reach a tipping point or to cause another healthcare supply resource to reach a tipping point.
