Abstract

Analytics relevant to a particular patient are provided within the clinical decision workflow to provide data-driven decision support. When information is received from an end user device at a workflow service that indicates characteristics of a clinical decision support workflow being managed by the end user device for a patient, data is requested from one or more knowledge systems and electronic health record (EHR) data is requested from one or more EHRs. The data and the EHR data is aggregated within the clinical decision support workflow and a recommendation is provided to a clinician at a point of care via the end user device. For example, the recommendation may reveal that a particular care plan is, according to the aggregated data, the model recommendation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for providing workflow analytics, the system comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer storage medium storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by the processor, cause the processor to:
provide, by a workflow service a clinical decision support workflow for a patient to an end user device;
based on the provided clinical decision support workflow, requesting, by the workflow service, data from one or more knowledge systems, the data including analytics, claims information, or clinical statistics;
provide the data, by the workflow service, within the clinical decision support workflow and provide a recommendation to a clinician at a point of care via the end user device, the recommendation based on the data, comprising a care plan for the patient, and indicating readmission risk for the care plan;
upon the clinician not selecting the care plan, further comprising prompting the clinician to provide feedback to the workflow service via the end user device;
based on the feedback, inferring additional data relevant to the clinical decision workflow; and
training the workflow service to consider the additional data in future recommendations for the clinical decision workflow.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising including the additional data in additional recommendations.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the clinical decision support workflow is a discharge plan.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the analytics data is for a venue where the patient is currently being treated.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the analytics data is for venues similar to a venue where the patient is currently being treated.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the workflow service leverages access to third party resources.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the recommendation is provided without requiring the clinician to initiate access to software other than the clinical decision support workflow.

8. A computerized method for providing workflow analytics, the method comprising:
receiving, at a workflow service, information from an end user device, the information indicating characteristics of a clinical decision support workflow being managed by the end user device for a patient;
based on the clinical decision support workflow, requesting data from one or more knowledge systems and electronic health record (EHR) data from one or more EHRs, the data including analytics, claims information, or clinical statistics;
present the data and the EHR data within the clinical decision support workflow and provide a recommendation to a clinician at a point of care via the end user device, the recommendation based on the data, comprising a care plan for the patient, and indicating whether the care plan is a model recommendation or readmission risk for the care plan;
upon the clinician not selecting the care plan, prompting the clinician to provide feedback to the workflow service via the end user device;
based on the feedback, inferring additional data relevant to the clinical decision workflow; and
training the workflow service to consider the additional data in future recommendations for the clinical decision workflow.

9. The computerized method of claim 8 , further comprising including the additional data in additional recommendations.

10. The computerized method of claim 8 , wherein the clinical decision support workflow is a discharge plan.

11. The computerized method of claim 8 , wherein the recommendation is provided without requiring the clinician to initiate access to software other than the clinical decision support workflow.

12. One or more computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform operations to train a workflow analytics system, the operations comprising:
prompting the clinician to provide feedback in accordance with a selection of a care plan that, based on presenting data within a clinical decision workflow, the data comprising analytics or clinical statistics received from one or more knowledge systems, indicates the selection of the care plan is not a recommended care plan;
based on the feedback, inferring additional data relevant to the clinical decision workflow; and
training the workflow service to consider the additional data in future recommendations for the clinical decision workflow.

13. The media of claim 12 , further comprising receiving, at a workflow service, information from an end user device, the information indicating characteristics of a clinical decision support workflow being managed by the end user device for a patient.

14. The media of claim 12 , further comprising presenting the data and the EHR data within the clinical decision support workflow and providing a recommendation to a clinician at a point of care via the end user device, the recommendation indicating whether a care plan is a model recommendation, costs corresponding to various care plans, or readmission risks for various plans.

15. The media of claim 12 , wherein the clinical decision support workflow is a discharge plan.
