Network system of individual user devices to generate group implemented treatment plan
A networked system of individual user devices is provided to generate a group implemented treatment plan. Updates to the treatment plan are made by the user devices receiving updates from the individual team members, the user devices sending the information to the server, the server dynamically compiling and updating the treatment plan and related information, and the server providing all relevant updates to the user devices.
1. A method executed on a computing device to reduce redundant interventions during the generation and implementation of a collaborative medical treatment plan on a patient, the method comprising:
receiving a plurality of selected diagnostic categories and a list of selected team members from a computing device in communication with a treatment plan server;
generating an initial treatment plan stored on the treatment plan server based on the selected diagnostic categories;
permitting client devices associated to the selected team members collaborating virtually to access the initial treatment plan on the treatment plan server, wherein the client devices are heterogeneous and networked;
updating the treatment plan periodically on the treatment plan server for access by the selected team members, wherein updating the treatment plan comprises:
(i) receiving a plurality of treatment objectives and a plurality of interventions based on the initial treatment plan from the client devices, each treatment objective being associated to one or more interventions; and
(ii) generating a completed treatment plan by:
(1) associating each individual team member to one or more interventions,
(2) generating a matrix of the individual team members and their associated one or more interventions, and
(3) assigning the interventions to the team members based on the matrix such that one or more individual interventions assigned to a single team member is shared between multiple treatment objectives; and
directing the plurality of client devices to present the updated treatment plan to the selected team members through the native user interfaces of the client devices, wherein said graphical user interfaces for the updated treatment plan are individualized for each selected team member.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein updating the treatment plan comprises updating the completed treatment plan as the plurality of interventions are undertaken by the plurality of team members.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein updating the treatment plan comprises receiving one or more progress reports on the treatment objectives from the client devices.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein updating the treatment plan comprises collating the one or more progress reports and updating the completed treatment plan based on the collated one or more progress reports.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the plurality of treatment objectives and the plurality of interventions from the client devices comprises providing a user interface for the client devices to one or more of enter or select one or more of the plurality of treatment objectives or the plurality of interventions.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the user interface comprises a generalized treatment planning section comprising a pre-determined list of patient diagnostic categories or problems selectable to form one or more of the treatment objectives, the one or more of the treatment objectives being patient specific.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the user interface comprises a patient-specific planning section, and wherein the one or more of the treatment objectives are formed by dragging a visually perceptible element representative of a patient diagnostic category or problem from the generalized treatment planning section to the patient-specific planning section.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the generalized treatment planning section comprises a plurality of interactive tabs, the plurality of interactive tabs comprising one or more of a templates tab for creating patient data entries, a previous plan tab for displaying a prior course of patient treatment, a details tab for displaying patient-specific data, and a task tab for adding or editing patient-specific tasks.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the tasks tab comprises entries for one or more of a patient problem description, a reassessment frequency, a patient problem type, an entry for an appropriate healthcare or medical professional team member, one or more comments, or one or more tags.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein updating the treatment plan periodically comprises instructing one or more of the client devices to provide one or more of an audio or visual notification to the team member associated to said one or more of the client devices to provide updates to the treatment plan.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more of an audio notification or a visual notification are provided according to a timing interval selected by one or more of the selected team members or the admitting medical professional.
