Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems, methods, and user interfaces for providing intelligent touch care. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure utilizes contributing data elements in a community early warning score (CEWS) to predict touchpoint discipline and to recommend frequency, modality, and upstream transitions of care and outside service referrals for a patient in a community care setting. In response to a touch point (e.g., a change in condition or medication, a scheduled or unscheduled appointment, or a patient question), the CEWS can be utilized along with data in an EHR of a patient, data from a patient device, or data from a patient portal to initiate a follow-up (e.g., personal health question or encounter). Notification tools and scheduling functionality are provided via a user interface of the patient device to improve clinical workforce capacity, increase the number of patient touches, and encourage heightened patient engagement.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. One or more computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving, at a mobile device, a touch point corresponding to a new order provided during a scheduled appointment for a patient in a community care setting;
in response to the touch point, automatically communicating data corresponding to the touch point to an electronic health record (EHR) for the patient;
dynamically crawling data in the EHR for the patient, the data including a community early warning score (CEWS);
based on the touch point and the data in the EHR, triggering, at the mobile device, a follow-up comprising a notification for the patient; and
in response to an indication the patient has questions or concerns, initiating, at the mobile device, a telephone clinical assessment.

2. The media of claim 1 , where the notification is provided to the patient via a consumer device or via a personal assistant voice service.

3. The media of claim 2 , wherein the notification indicates that a personal health question is available for the patient.

4. The media of claim 3 , further comprising receiving the indication the patient has questions or concerns.

5. The media of claim 4 , further comprising identifying the questions or concerns.

6. The media of claim 5 , further comprising providing a recommendation to a clinician performing the telephone clinical assessment the patient to address the questions or concerns.

7. The media of claim 6 , further comprising generating a second touch point, the second touch point triggering a second follow-up comprising a second notification for the patient.

8. The media of claim 7 , wherein the second notification is provided to the patient via the consumer device or via the personal assistant voice service at a particular time and indicating that a second personal health question is available for the patient.

9. The media of claim 8 , further comprising receiving an indication the questions or concerns of the patient have been resolved.

10. A computerized method comprising:
receiving, at a mobile device, a touch point corresponding to a new order provided during a scheduled appointment for a patient in a community care setting;
in response to the touch point, automatically communicating data corresponding to the touch point to an electronic health record (EHR) for the patient;
dynamically crawling data in the EHR for the patient, the data including a community early warning score (CEWS);
based on the touch point and the data in the EHR, triggering, at the mobile device, a follow-up comprising a notification for the patient; and
in response to an indication the patient has questions or concerns, initiating, at the mobile device, a telephone clinical assessment.

11. The method of claim 10 , where the notification is provided to the patient via a consumer device or via a personal assistant voice service.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the notification indicates that a personal health question is available for the patient.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising, receiving the indication the patient has questions or concerns.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising identifying the questions or concerns.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising, providing a recommendation to a clinician performing the telephone clinical assessment to address the questions or concerns.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising generating a second touch point, the second touch point triggering a second follow-up comprising a second notification for the patient.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the second notification is provided to the patient via the consumer device or via the personal assistant voice service at a particular time.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the second notification indicates that a second personal health question is available for the patient.

19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising receiving an indication the questions or concerns of the patient have been resolved.

20. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a computer storage medium storing computer-usable instructions that, when used by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive, at a mobile device, a touch point corresponding to a new order provided during a scheduled appointment for a patient in a community care setting;
in response to the touch point, automatically communicate data corresponding to the touch point to an electronic health record (EHR) for the patient;
dynamically crawl data in the EHR for the patient, the data including a community early warning score (CEWS);
based on the touch point and the data in the EHR, trigger, at the mobile device, a follow-up comprising a notification for the patient, the notification being provided to the patient via a consumer device or via a personal assistant voice service and indicating that a personal health question is available for the patient;
based on a response to the personal health question, receive, at the mobile device, an indication the patient has questions or concerns;
in response to the indication, initiate, at the mobile device, a telephone clinical assessment; and
provide, at the mobile device, a recommendation to a clinician performing the telephone clinical assessment to address the questions or concerns.
