Abstract

An apparatus is provided for generating one or more preventive health care plans. The apparatus includes at least one memory and at least one processor configured to receive medical information, associated with one or more patients, from different medical entities. The processor is further configured to identify whether data in the received medical information indicates that the medical information corresponds to at least one patient. The data comprises one or more unique identifiers identifying the patient. The processor is further configured to determine at least one medical condition or age/gender criteria of the patient based in part on one or more unique codes in the received medical information and generate at least one preventive health care plan on behalf of the patient based in part on the determined medical condition and one or more defined measures associated with the codes. Corresponding computer program products and methods are also provided.

Claims (63)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving medical information, associated with one or more patients, from one or more different medical entities;

identifying whether data in the received medical information indicates that the medical information corresponds to at least one of the patients, the data comprises one or more unique identifiers identifying the at least one patient;

determining at least one medical condition or age or gender criteria of the at least one patient based in part on one or more unique codes in the received medical information; and

generating, via a processor, at least one preventive health care plan on behalf of the patient based in part on the determined medical condition and one or more defined measures associated with the codes.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

enabling provision of the preventive health care plan to one or more apparatuses; and

enabling monitoring of performance results associated with the measures by at least one health care professional or the patient via at least one of the apparatuses.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

including one or more quality of care measures, associated with the defined measures, in the preventive health care plan.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the defined measures are included in the received medical information; and

the defined measures correspond to one or more preventive health care actions to be performed in order to monitor the health of the patient.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that each of the defined measures are associated with one or more respective goals established for the defined measures; and

including the goals in the preventive health care plan.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

enabling addition of one or more quality of care measures to the preventive health care plan in response to receipt of a selection, even though the quality of care measures may not correspond to the defined measures.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

analyzing data associated with one or more results of the goals; and

including the results in the preventive health care plan.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating one or more status indicators comprising at least one of a shape or an item of visible indicia indicating whether the patient is currently meeting the goals; and

including at least one of the status indicators in the preventive health care plan in correspondence with a respective measure.

9 . An apparatus comprising:

at least one memory; and

at least one processor configured to cause the apparatus to:

receive medical information, associated with one or more patients, from one or more different medical entities;

identify whether data in the received medical information indicates that the medical information corresponds to at least one of the patients, the data comprises one or more unique identifiers identifying the at least one patient;

determine at least one medical condition or age or gender criteria of the at least one patient based in part on one or more unique codes in the received medical information; and

generate at least one preventive health care plan on behalf of the patient based in part on the determined medical condition and one or more defined measures associated with the codes.

10 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to cause the apparatus to:

enable provision of the preventive health care plan to one or more apparatuses; and

enable monitoring of performance results associated with the measures by at least one health care professional or the patient via at least one of the apparatuses.

11 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to cause the apparatus to:

include one or more quality of care measures, associated with the defined measures, in the preventive health care plan.

12 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein:

the defined measures are included in the received medical information; and

the defined measures correspond to one or more preventive health care actions to be performed in order to monitor the health of the patient.

13 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to cause the apparatus to:

determine that each of the defined measures are associated with one or more respective goals established for the defined measures; and

include the goals in the preventive health care plan.

14 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to cause the apparatus to:

enable addition of one or more quality of care measures to the preventive health care plan in response to receipt of a selection, even though the quality of care measures may not correspond to the defined measures.

15 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to cause the apparatus to:

analyze data associated with one or more results of the goals; and

include the results in the preventive health care plan.

16 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to cause the apparatus to:

generate one or more status indicators comprising at least one of a shape or an item of visible indicia indicating whether the patient is currently meeting the goals; and

include at least one of the status indicators in the preventive health care plan in correspondence with a respective measure.

17 . A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer executable program code instructions comprising:

program code instructions configured to facilitate receipt of medical information, associated with one or more patients, from one or more different medical entities;

program code instructions configured to identify whether data in the received medical information indicates that the medical information corresponds to at least one of the patients, the data comprises one or more unique identifiers identifying the at least one patient;

program code instructions configured to determine at least one medical condition or age or gender criteria of the at least one patient based in part on one or more unique codes in the received medical information; and

program code instructions configured to generate at least one preventive health care plan on behalf of the patient based in part on the determined medical condition and one or more defined measures associated with the codes.

18 . The computer program product of claim 17 , further comprising:

program code instructions configured to enable provision of the preventive health care plan to one or more apparatuses; and

program code instructions configured to enable monitoring of performance results associated with the measures by at least one health care professional or the patient via at least one of the apparatuses.

19 . The computer program product of claim 17 , further comprising:

program code instructions configured to include one or more quality of care measures, associated with the defined measures, in the preventive health care plan.

20 . The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein:

the defined measures are included in the received medical information; and

the defined measures correspond to one or more preventive health care actions to be performed in order to monitor the health of the patient.
