HEALTHCARE PROTOCOLS AND HEALTHCARE PLANNING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Technology is disclosed for generating patient-specific healthcare protocols and systems and methods for generating and providing patient-specific healthcare protocols for facilitating medical examinations.
1 . A system for generating a patient-specific healthcare protocol for facilitating a medical examination comprising:
a computer network for transmitting information relating to a patient's health status;
a client computer associated with a user and in communication with the computer network;
a database connected to the computer network for storing a plurality of healthcare protocol data sets and a plurality of medical examination recommendations, wherein the plurality of healthcare protocol data sets correspond to combinations of the medical examination recommendations; and
a healthcare protocol generating application in communication with the computer network and configured to receive patient-specific data and healthcare protocol requests from the client computer, compare patient-specific data to the plurality of healthcare protocol data sets in the database, and calculate a best-fit combination of health improvement parameters from the plurality of medical examination recommendations to generate the patient-specific healthcare protocol.
2 . The system of claim 1 wherein user-specific data includes one or more of general patient information, patient's current health status, prior health status, family medical history, medications, activity and/or health-related behaviors.
3 . The system of claim 1 wherein the medical examination recommendations include at least one of a medical test and a treatment parameter.
4 . The system of claim 1 wherein the client computer is a mobile device and wherein the healthcare protocol generating application is a mobile application.
5 . The system of claim 1 wherein the medical examination is an annual wellness visit.
6 . A method performed by a system for providing a patient-specific healthcare protocol, comprising:
receiving patient-specific data to create a patient-specific health profile relating to at least a patient's current health status;
receiving a healthcare protocol request; and
generating a patient-specific healthcare protocol for facilitating a medical examination,
wherein the patient-specific healthcare protocol is based on the patient-specific health profile and a plurality of healthcare protocol data sets having at least a threshold affinity to the patient specific health profile.
7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising providing the patient-specific healthcare protocol through a healthcare protocol generating application on a client computing device, wherein the patient-specific healthcare protocol includes a best-fit combination of medical tests and/or treatment parameters for achieving an improved current health status.
8 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising receiving additional patient-specific data for modifying one or more treatment parameters of the patient-specific healthcare protocol.
9 . A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions, comprising:
instructions for receiving a patient's health data through a web-based application;
instructions for generating a patient-specific healthcare protocol based at least in part to the patient's health data; and
providing the patient-specific healthcare protocol to a user to facilitate a medical examination,
wherein the patient-specific healthcare protocol includes at a combination of medical tests and/or treatment recommendations.
