<p>A computer-based system and method improves the efficiency of healthcare services provided to a patient by modeling an epoch of care (EOC) of the patient and by using the EOC model to assist in the provision of healthcare services to the patient, such as by generating predictions of healthcare outcomes for the patient and by making recommendations for actions to be taken in connection with the provision of healthcare services to the patient. An EOC of a patient may include all services, products, and outcomes that are related to a particular medical condition or complaint of the patient over a period of time. Embodiments of the present invention may model multiple EOCs for the same patient and may model EOCs for multiple patients. Predictions and recommendations may be made based on the EOC data, possibly in addition to external data outside of the EOC.</p> |
