Preadmission health care cost and reimbursement estimation tool

InactiveUS20060080139A1Reduces nursing timeSpeed up admission processFinanceDrug referencesRegimenResource utilization
A cost estimation tool, preferably a handheld computer, prices and evaluates the financial impact of new residents' prior to admission. Immediate access to this information and built-in therapeutic substitution and clinical advisories provides the opportunity to optimize pharmaceutical regimens prior to admission. In addition, an abbreviated Resource Utilization Group (RUG) evaluation function provides a rapid assessment tool to project reimbursement under the Medicare Prospective Payment System (PPS). A user may enter a complete drug regimen and estimate the costs for the regimen. Similarly, managed care reimbursement from managed care organizations (MCOs) to be analyzed. Also, drug cost may be estimated through a MEDICAID Preferred Drug List database that identifies potential Non-Preferred drugs that may be non-compensable. The present invention further transmits results wirelessly to health care providers.

Medicinal product order processing system

InactiveUS20060136266A1Improve monitoring qualityProcess is repeatedDrug and medicationsPatient personal data managementRepeated prescriptionRegimen
A repeat prescription ordering system for allowing patients requiring resupply of medication or medical products to access a server using a portable communications and data processing device such as a smart phone or personal digital assistant. The server supplies to the patient a list of medication and medical products which they are authorized to order. The patient can select the products required, and the order is logged by the server and allocated to a supplier for completion of the order. The server maintains an estimate of the amount of medication or medical product held by the patient, this being based on the prescribed dosage regimen and information entered by the patient on their usage and, optionally, on checks on their own health. The patient may be alerted when the estimate indicates that their supplies are running low. The estimate is allowed to go below zero, this implying a possible departure from the prescribed medication regimen.

Cardiac tachyarrhythmia therapy selection based on patient response information

Cardiac treatment methods and devices providing templates representative of past tachyarrythmia events, each template associated with a therapy. A cardiac waveform is detected, and if it corresponds to a particular template associated with a previous therapy that was satisfactory in terminating a past event, the previous therapy is delivered again. If unsatisfactory, the previous therapy is eliminated as an option. If, for example, the previous therapy was an antitachycardia pacing therapy unsatisfactory in terminating the past tachyarrythmia event, delivery of the antitachycardia pacing therapy is eliminated as an option. Instead of ATP therapy, one or more of a cardioversion, defibrillation, or alternate anti-tachycardia pacing therapy may be associated with the particular template. Cardiac waveforms and templates may correspond in terms of one or more of morphology, timing, drug regimen, medication, neural activity, patient activity, hemodynamic status, cardiac tissue impedance, transthoracic impedance, or other information corresponding to the episode.

System and method for detecting drug fraud and abuse

A system and method for detecting improper drug use utilizes the morphine equivalency of a drug regimen of a patient having an injury to compare the morphine equivalency of the drug regimen of the patient to that of a peer group having the same diagnosis. The comparison may be conducted based on the aggregate morphine equivalency for respective periods of time following the injury or the initial treatment and based on the rate of change in the morphine equivalency for that or another period of time. Based on the results of the comparison, potential instances of drug fraud and / or drug abuse are identified and an alert is generated, and appropriate action is taken, where needed.

Apparatus and Method for Improved Drug Regimen Compliance

A method and apparatus for monitoring drug-regimen compliance is disclosed. Systems in accordance with the present invention enable automatic monitoring of the state of medicine content of a blister card. Each tablet location on the blister card is operatively coupled with a different sensor that detects whether the tablet location is occupied and / or a dispensing event at a tablet location. In some embodiments, capacitive sensing is employed, where the capacitance of each sensor is based on the physical state of a dispensing region of the lidding film of the blister pack, which is located at the tablet location being monitored. Alternative sensing approaches are based on optical, acoustic, and tactile sensors that interrogate either the dispensing region at each tablet location or the tablets themselves to determine whether tablets have been dispensed. The sensors interface with a mobile app that provides the user instructions to help improve drug-regimen compliance.
