DISEASE MANAGEMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM

The Disease Management system and method includes a Patient Medical Information source 100, a Predictive Health Outcome Modeling process 102, a process for Intervention of At-risk Patients 103, and a source of disease management Modeling Guidelines 104. The Patient Medical Information source 101 is a database containing medical records of patients who participate in a healthcare provider's program. The Predictive Health Outcome Modeling process 102 produces a statistical model used to predict whether a patient with a particular disease is likely to suffer an adverse health outcome. The Intervention of At-risk Patients process 103 derives a list of at-risk patients who have a high risk of suffering an adverse health outcome and intervenes in the selected patient's healthcare treatment to decrease the possibility of such an adverse health outcome. The Predictive Health Outcome Modeling process 102 1) receives a sample group of patient medical data from the Patient Medical Information database 100 for a given disease, 2) receives pre-determined statistical information for generating predictive models, shown as the Modeling Guidelines 104, and 3) generates a particular predictive model for a particular disease to determine the probability of an adverse health outcome. The Intervention of At-risk Patients process 103 1) receives the predictive model provided by the Predictive Health Outcome Modeling process 102, 2) analyzes the individual patient specific medical data from the Patient Medical Information database 100, and 3) identifies a list of current patients that are at-risk of an adverse health outcome for a particular disease. The Intervention of At-risk Patients 103 process intervenes in the treatment process of the patients contained in the patient list through contact with the patient, physician, or healthcare provider, and the process requires externally generated information about treatment regimens for given stages of disease progression, as well as particular interventions. Le système et la méthode de gestion des maladies comprend une source de dossiers médicaux des patients, 100, un processus de modélisation du bilan de santé prévu 102, un processus d'intervention sur les patients à risque, et une source de Directives sur la modélisation de gestion des maladies, 104. La source de dossiers médicaux des patients 100 est une base de données renfermant les dossiers médicaux des patients qui participent à un programme d'un fournisseur de services de sa
