COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING HOSPITAL ADMISSION RISK

摘要

A computing device may compute the hospital admission risk of a patient as of a first risk calculation date after provision of one or more interventions for the patient. Each such intervention may be of a type that can readily be provided without bringing the patient to a hospital. According to one method, an input device may be used to receive first user input indicative of a first intervention performed for the patient. From a data store, a first risk factor corresponding to the first intervention, and a first time period over which the first risk factor is applicable, may be retrieved. At a processor, a first intervention date may be compared with the first risk calculation date to determine that the first risk calculation date is within the first time period. The first risk factor may be used to compute and display the hospital admission risk for the patient.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for evaluating hospital admission risk of a patient on a first risk calculation date, the method comprising:
at an input device, receiving first user input indicative of a first intervention performed for the patient; from a data store, retrieving a first risk factor corresponding to the first intervention; from the data store, retrieving a first time period over which the first risk factor is applicable; at a processor, comparing a first intervention date of the first intervention with the first risk calculation date to determine that the first risk calculation date is within the first time period; at the processor, using the first risk factor to compute the hospital admission risk for the patient; and at an output device, outputting the hospital admission risk.
