Abstract

Systems and methods for determining a care plan for a patient are disclosed. Data from a one or more databases are received or retrieved and used to determine a preferred care plan used to perform a surgical procedure or otherwise treat a patient. The data may include data pertaining to a patient, a healthcare professional, a healthcare facility, an implant, economic data, simulation data, imaging data, and/or the like. The data may be used to determine a plan that provides a positive outcome and patient satisfaction. The data may be updated over time or in real time to improve or refine the determination of care plans for the current patient or other patients.

Claims (56)

1 . A data management system, comprising:

a plurality of interfaces configured to receive healthcare data from a plurality of sources, wherein the healthcare data is generated as a result of at least one episode of care by a plurality of healthcare providers for a plurality of patients;

a data store configured to store the healthcare data;

at least one processor; and

a non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

receive at least a portion of the healthcare data from the data store;

construct a statistical model of a healthcare plan for a patient using the at least a portion of the healthcare data, and

provide real-time feedback related to the healthcare plan associated with the patient, wherein the real-time feedback is determined based, at least in part, on the statistical model.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed further cause the at least one processor to:

receive information regarding an outcome of a first healthcare operation of the healthcare plan; and

update the statistical model based on the information.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the instructions, when executed further cause the at least one processor to generate an updated healthcare plan based on the updated statistical model.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the real-time feedback comprises at least one healthcare operation of the updated healthcare plan.

5 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the real-time feedback comprises one or more of a cost of the updated healthcare plan and a likelihood of success of the updated healthcare plan.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the healthcare data comprises at least one of:

healthcare provider data comprising one or more of surgical product preference, scheduling information, surgical equipment requirements, and surgical staffing requirements;

patient data comprising one or more of biometric information, demographic information, medical history information, scheduling information, and a prescribed surgical procedure;

complication data comprising one or more of a potential negative effect of a surgical procedure, a likelihood of occurrence of the potential negative effect, and a cost associated with the potential negative effect; and

performance data comprising one or more of implant information, revision procedure information, and joint flexion information.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the healthcare data comprises one or more of costs associated with supplies, costs associated with one or more healthcare operations, costs associated with medications, patient satisfaction information, patient re-admission information, medication information, facility information, and economic information.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed further cause the at least one processor to construct a plurality of statistical models for a plurality of potential healthcare plans.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein each statistical model comprises at least one of a cost of a potential healthcare plan and a likelihood of success of the potential healthcare plan.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed further cause the at least one processor to select the updated healthcare plan from the plurality of potential healthcare plans.

11 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving healthcare data related to at least one episode of care provided by a plurality of healthcare providers for a plurality of patients;

constructing, based on at least a portion of the healthcare data, a statistical model of a healthcare plan for a patient,

receiving information regarding an outcome of a first healthcare operation of the healthcare plan; and

providing, based at least in part on the statistical model and the information, real-time feedback related to the healthcare plan.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising updating the statistical model based on the information regarding the outcome of the first healthcare operation.

13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising generating an updated healthcare plan based on the updated statistical model.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the real-time feedback comprises at least one healthcare operation of the updated healthcare plan.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the real-time feedback comprises one or more of a cost of the updated healthcare plan and a likelihood of success of the updated healthcare plan.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the healthcare data comprises at least one of:

healthcare provider data comprising one or more of surgical product preference, scheduling information, surgical equipment requirements, and surgical staffing requirements;

patient data comprising one or more of biometric information, demographic information, medical history information, scheduling information, and a prescribed surgical procedure;

complication data comprising one or more of a potential negative effect of a surgical procedure, a likelihood of occurrence of the potential negative effect, and a cost associated with the potential negative effect; and

performance data comprising one or more of implant information, revision procedure information, and joint flexion information.

17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the healthcare data comprises one or more of costs associated with supplies, costs associated with one or more healthcare operations, costs associated with medications, patient satisfaction information, patient re-admission information, medication information, facility information, and economic information.

18 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising constructing a plurality of statistical models for a plurality of potential healthcare plans.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein each statistical model comprises at least one of a cost of a potential healthcare plan and a likelihood of success of the potential healthcare plan.

20 . The method of claim 18 , further comprising selecting the updated healthcare plan from the plurality of potential healthcare plans.

21 . A system for updating a healthcare plan associated with a knee arthroplasty procedure in real time, the system comprising:

one or more data stores storing healthcare data obtained based on a plurality of historical knee arthroplasty procedures, the healthcare data comprising:

complication data including one or more of a potential negative effect of a surgical procedure, a likelihood of occurrence of the potential negative effect, and a cost associated with the potential negative effect,

performance data including one or more of implant information, revision procedure information, and joint flexion information, and

cost data including one or more of supply costs, surgical and rehabilitative procedure costs, and medication costs;

at least one processor; and

a non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

access the healthcare data from the one or more data stores,

construct a statistical model of a healthcare plan for the patient based on the healthcare data, and

perform one or more updates to the healthcare plan, each update comprising:

receiving outcome information related to a first healthcare operation of the healthcare plan,

updating the statistical model based on the outcome information,

determining, for each of one or more potential healthcare operations, a cost of the potential healthcare operation and a likelihood of success of the potential healthcare operation,

selecting a potential healthcare operation based on at least one of the cost of the potential healthcare operation and the likelihood of success of the potential healthcare operation, and

updating the healthcare plan based on the selected potential healthcare operation.
