Abstract

Systems and methods for patient health assessment are disclosed. A method includes: receiving medical data related to a patient stored in a database; identifying assessments to be performed by a case manager for the patient, each including questions to be answered; displaying, in a user interface of a case manager terminal, visual indicators that indicate a level of completeness of the assessments; displaying a listing of questions to be asked to the patient for a current assessment; receiving, in a data input field included in the user interface, input data from the case manager; and, in response to the input data, displaying in the user interface an updated listing of questions to be asked to the patient, where the updated listing of questions includes one or more questions that, when answered by the patient, advance the progress of completion of at least one of the one or more assessments.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system, comprising:
 a clinical data database; and   a case manager terminal computing device executing one or more processors for performing a patient health assessment, by performing the steps of:
 receiving, from a calculation engine module executing on a health organization server computing device, medical data related to the patient that is stored in the clinical data database; 
 identifying one or more assessments to be performed by a case manager for the patient, wherein each assessment includes one or more questions to be answered by the patient; 
 displaying, in a user interface on a display device, visual indicators that indicate a level of completeness of each of the one or more assessments; 
 displaying in the user interface a listing of questions to be asked to the patient for a current assessment; 
 receiving in a data input field included in the user interface, input data from the case manager; and 
 in response to the input data, displaying in the user interface an updated listing of questions to be asked to the patient, wherein the updated listing of questions includes one or more questions that, when answered by the patient, advance the progress of completion of at least one of the one or more assessments. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the input data is transmitted from the case manager terminal computing device to the health organization server computing device, wherein the input data is processed by the calculation engine module executing on the health organization server computing device. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the updated listing of questions to be asked to the patient is received from the health organization server computing device based on the processing of the input data by the calculation engine module. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more assessments includes a current assessment and a set of recommended assessments. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein when a question included in the updated listing of questions is answered by the patient, the progress of completion is advanced of an assessment included in the set of recommended assessments. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein, for each of the one or more assessments, a visual indicator indicating the level of completeness comprises a percentage of the questions in the assessment that have been answered. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein, for each of the one or more assessments, the visual indicator is a fill-bar that increases each time a question is answered for the assessment. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the questions included in the updated listing of questions are determined by the calculation engine module executing on the health organization server computing device based on performing deterministic or probabilistic matching based on the input data. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the health organization server computing device is associated with a health insurance company or a health care provider. 
     
     
         10 . A method, comprising:
 receiving, from a calculation engine module executing on a health organization server computing device, medical data related to a patient that is stored in the clinical data database;   identifying one or more assessments to be performed by a case manager for the patient, wherein each assessment includes one or more questions to be answered by the patient;   displaying, in a user interface on a display device of a case manager terminal computing device, visual indicators that indicate a level of completeness of each of the one or more assessments;   displaying in the user interface a listing of questions to be asked to the patient for a current assessment;   receiving in a data input field included in the user interface, input data from the case manager; and   in response to the input data, displaying in the user interface an updated listing of questions to be asked to the patient, wherein the updated listing of questions includes one or more questions that, when answered by the patient, advance the progress of completion of at least one of the one or more assessments.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the input data is transmitted from the case manager terminal computing device to the health organization server computing device, wherein the input data is processed by the calculation engine module executing on the health organization server computing device. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the updated listing of questions to be asked to the patient is received from the health organization server computing device based on the processing of the input data by the calculation engine module. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the one or more assessments includes a current assessment and a set of recommended assessments. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein when a question included in the updated listing of questions is answered by the patient, the progress of completion is advanced of an assessment included in the set of recommended assessments. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein, for each of the one or more assessments, a visual indicator indicating the level of completeness comprises a percentage of the questions in the assessment that have been answered. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein, for each of the one or more assessments, the visual indicator is a fill-bar that increases each time a question is answered for the assessment. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the questions included in the updated listing of questions are determined by the calculation engine module executing on the health organization server computing device based on performing deterministic or probabilistic matching based on the input data. 
     
     
         18 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computer system to perform the steps of:
 receiving, from a calculation engine module executing on a server computing device, data related to a person that is stored in a database;   identifying one or more assessments to be performed for the person, wherein each assessment includes one or more questions to be answered by the person;   displaying, in a user interface on a display device of an assessor terminal computing device, visual indicators that indicate a level of completeness of each of the one or more assessments;   displaying, in the user interface, a listing of questions to be asked to the person for a current assessment;   receiving, in a data input field included in the user interface, input data from the assessor; and   in response to the input data, displaying in the user interface an updated listing of questions to be asked to the person, wherein the updated listing of questions includes one or more questions that, when answered by the person, advance the progress of completion of at least one of the one or more assessments.   
     
     
         19 . The computer-readable storage medium of  claim 18 , wherein the input data is transmitted from the assessor terminal computing device to the server computing device, wherein the input data is processed by the calculation engine module executing on the server computing device. 
     
     
         20 . The computer-readable storage medium of  claim 18 , wherein the one or more assessments are health assessments, financial assessments, academic assessments, personality assessments, or employment assessments.
