Multi-specialty integrated care scheduling system
A method of automated medical scheduling of an autonomous vehicle to pick up a patient including the steps of receiving data on a processor via a checklist, said data being a plurality of predetermined physical conditions of a patient, each of the plurality of predetermined physical conditions having a predetermined assigned weight based on level of severity, generating a summation of the total weight for each predetermined physical condition, generating a predetermined specialty acuity score by comparing the corresponding range of the total weight and generating a report to output of the specialty acuity score, the specialty acuity score used to determine priority of scheduling patients in a system. A specialty acuity score may be generated for each system affected, the systems each assigned a value of 1. A comorbidity score may be generated by the summation of each system.
1. A method of automated medical scheduling comprising:
receiving user specified data on a processor via a checklist, said data being a plurality of predetermined physical conditions of a patient, each of the plurality of predetermined physical conditions having a predetermined assigned weight based on level of severity;
generating a summation of the total weight for each predetermined physical condition;
generating a predetermined specialty acuity (“SPA”) score by comparing the corresponding range of the total weight;
generating a report to output the SPA score, the SPA score determining priority for scheduling appointments for patients in a system schedule and to schedule sending of an autonomous vehicle sent to the patient for pickup; and
wherein the autonomous vehicle is configured to transport the patient to at least one medical appointment, the autonomous vehicle comprising:
a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors selected from a group of: cameras, blood pressure sensor, ultrasound, x-ray, EKG sensor, heart sensor, blood sugar sensor, and/or perspiration sensor; and
a display within the vehicle, the display providing for virtual communication with a remotely located health care professional.
2. The method of automated medical scheduling of claim 1 wherein a SPA score is generated for each system affected, the systems including Cardiac, Renal, Neurological, Vascular, Medical/Metabolic and Pulmonary, each assigned a value of 1.
3. The method of automated medical scheduling of claim 2 wherein a comorbidity score is generated by the summation of each system.
4. The method of automated medical scheduling of claim 3 wherein a Total Overall Risk (“TOR”) score is generated by multiplying the summation of each system by the total SPA scores, generating a report of the TOR score.
5. The method of automated medical scheduling of claim 4 to determine frequency of appointment scheduling, comparing the TOR score to a set of predetermined ranges, assigning an appointment interval corresponding with the TOR score value.
6. The method of automated scheduling of claim 5 wherein an appointment interval is assigned for ancillary care assessments corresponding to the TOR score value.
7. The method of automated scheduling of claim 4 wherein the TOR score is used to determine visit frequency as an amplifier for SPA score passed on physician visits.
8. The autonomous vehicle of claim 1 wherein a robotic arm is positioned within the vehicle, the robotic arm configured assist in testing the patient.
9. The autonomous vehicle of claim 1 wherein the display is voice activated.
10. The autonomous vehicle of claim 1 wherein the display is configured to accept voice recognition.
