HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A system and method integrating healthcare delivery to patients using data bridges that connect healthcare providers, patients, patient medical education, and patient monitoring devices is disclosed. The system incorporates a mobile user interface device (MUD) allowing user inputs or detected events from a variety of medical instrumentation devices (MID) to be controlled by a healthcare web server computer (HWS) over a computer communication network (CCN). Information retrieved from the MID and transmitted by the MUD to the HWS is then used by a patient healthcare monitor (PHM) process to populate a medical records database (MRD). MRD contents are then matched to patient healthcare plan (PHP) event/time triggers (ETT) that drive information from a provider content database (PCD) to the MUD through the HWS over the CCN. Healthcare provider update/control of the PHP/ETT/PCD allow integration of patient educational materials with patient health status monitoring.

1. A healthcare delivery system comprising:
(a) hospital information system (HIS); (b) healthcare web server (HWS); (c) mobile user interface device (MUD); (d) medical instrumentation device (MID); and (e) computer communication network (CCN); wherein said HWS is configured to communicate with said HIS via said CCN; said HIS is configured to extract real-time patient data from a variety of patient data sources in said hospital; said HIS is configured to transmit said real-time patient data to said HWS; said HWS is configured to communicate with said MUD via said CCN; said MUD is configured to present audio/video information to a patient; said MUD is configured to accept user inputs from a patient; said MID is configured to detect medical events or conditions associated with a patient; said MID is configured to transmit information on said medical events or conditions to said MUD; said HWS is configured to permit definition of a patient healthcare plan (PHP) that controls the delivery of healthcare to a patient; said HWS is configured to transfer said PHP to said MUD via said CCN; said MUD is configured to execute said PHP to control presentation of said audio/video information to a patient; said MUD is configured to execute said PHP to control acceptance of said user inputs from a patient; said MUD is configured to execute said PHP to control detection of medical events or conditions associated with a patient via operation of said MID; said PHP is configured to permit definition of alerts that are associated with time triggers or detected patient events; said HWS is configured to allow authorized healthcare professionals access to real-time status information on patients under their care via a web browser interface; said real-time status information includes said real-time patient data, said user inputs, said time triggers, and said detected patient events; and said HWS is configured to perform a risk stratification analysis (RSA) of said hospital patient data, said remote patient monitoring (RPM) data, and said alerts and display said RSA to a status dashboard via a web browser interface.
