HEALTHCARE DATA INTERCHANGE SYSTEM AND METHOD
A health data system that is part of a scalable technology core that can be integrated into local healthcare infrastructure to create a care management framework for delivering patient-centric and value-based care in a community, setting the stage for scalability to targeted communities.
1 . A health data system for delivering patient-centric and value-based care, comprising:
a health data server;
one or more health data sources in communication with the health data server over a secured network, wherein said health data sources each have a set of polling permissions;
one or more agent modules of the health data server that poll health data from the data sources at a designated frequency based on a set of identifiers and the set of polling permissions;
a first switch module for providing the polled health data into a common information model, the common information model being defined by at least one patient record, each patient record having one or more attributes; and
one or more interface modules for gaining access to the common information model based on a set of access permissions.
2 . The health data system of claim 1 , wherein the common information model includes a distributed database.
3 . The health data system of claim 2 , wherein the one or more attributes define at least one of clinical health data, laboratory data, remote monitoring data, biometrics, wearables, social media data, self-reported data, mobile application data, and device instrumentation.
4 . The health data system of claim 1 , wherein said first switch module augments the common information model with a new attribute when the polled health data does not map into the one or more attributes.
5 . The health data system of claim 1 , wherein said first switch module filters the polled health data prior to providing the polled health data into the common information model based on storage permissions.
6 . The health data system of claim 5 , wherein the storage permissions are provided by at least one of the health data server and the one or more health data sources.
7 . The health data system of claim 1 , wherein the designated frequency is set by at least one of the health data server and the one or more health data sources.
8 . The health data system of claim 1 , wherein said first switch module further matches patient records against each other.
9 . The health data system of claim 1 , further comprising a second switch module for providing the polled health data into the common information model, wherein said first switch module communicates with said second switch module for receiving the polled health data.
10 . The health data system of claim 1 , wherein said first switch module controls network connections over the secured network.
11 . A method for delivering patient-centric and value-based care, the method comprising:
polling one or more health data sources for health data via one or more agent modules of a health data server, wherein each of the one or more health data sources have a set of polling permissions;
populating a common information model with the polled health data via a first switch module, the common information model being defined by at least one patient record, each patient record having one or more attributes; and
providing access to the common information model via one or more interface modules based on a set of access permissions.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein said populating the common information model comprises populating a distributed database.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein said populating the common information model comprises populating the one or more attributes selected from at least one of clinical health data, laboratory data, remote monitoring data, biometrics, wearables, social media data, self-reported data, mobile application data, and device instrumentation.
14 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising augmenting the common information model with a new attribute when the polled health data does not map into the one or more attributes via the first switch module.
15 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising filtering the polled health data based on a set of storage permissions prior to said populating.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the set of storage permissions are provided by at least one of the health data server and the one or more health data sources.
17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein said polling occurs at a designated frequency set by at least one of the health data server and the one or more health data sources.
18 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising matching patient records via the first switch module.
19 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising polling a second switch module via the first switch module for the polled health data.
20 . The method of claim 11 , wherein said polling is limited by the set of polling permissions.
