Claim 16:
17. A computerized multi-site decision support system for detecting a sepsis in a patient based on multi-site surveillance, the computerized multi-site decision support system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer storage media storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method including:
receiving, from a first client application residing on at least one computing device associated with a first medical organization, a first set of patient information that corresponds to the patient who has received medical treatment at the first medical organization and comprises at least a first parameter, wherein the first set of patient information includes a first actionable criteria for the patient being at risk for the sepsis;
receiving, from a second client application residing on at least one computing device associated with a second medical organization, second set of patient information that corresponds to the patient who has received medical treatment at the second medical organization and comprises at least a second parameter, wherein the first medical organization and the second medical organization are disparate and maintain separate medical record systems, wherein the second set of patient information is for the same patient as the first set of patient information and includes a second actionable criteria for the patient being at risk for the sepsis, and wherein the first medical organization and the second medical organization send information to a cloud computing platform and not directly between one another;
reconciling, by using a cross-venue recognition algorithm, the first set of patient information and the second set of patient information wherein the reconciling is done by processing the first set of patient information and the second set of patient information to enable a remote centralized cross-venue patient information management, wherein the reconciling includes at least:
processing the first parameter represented by a first medical term used by the first medical organization,
processing the second parameter represented by a second medical term different from the first medical term and used by the second medical organization, the first parameter and the second parameter corresponding to a same health condition of the patient, and
reconciling the first medical term and the second medical term;
determining that a triggering event has occurred based on at least one from among the first set of patient information and the second set of patient information;
determining whether an open and active a multi-site risk assessment array for the sepsis associated with the triggering event that is open and active currently exists for the patient, wherein the multi-site risk assessment array for the patient is open and active for a predetermined period of time within which the sepsis can occur in the patient;
if the multi-site risk assessment array for the sepsis associated with the triggering event that is open and active currently exists for the patient, accessing the multi-site risk assessment array;
if the multi-site risk assessment array for the sepsis associated with the triggering event that is open and active currently does not exist for the patient, building a multi-site risk assessment array for the sepsis for which the patient needs to be monitored and activating and opening the multi-site risk assessment array;
populating values of a first set of nodes of the multi-site risk assessment array with the reconciled first set of patient information;
populating values of a second set of nodes of the multi-site risk assessment array with the reconciled second set of patient information;
based on the multi-site risk assessment array, algorithmically determining that the first actionable criteria set by the first medical organization indicating that the patient is at risk for developing the sepsis have been met; and
electronically communicating a first electronic notification to the first medical organization in near real-time including an alert that the patient is at risk for the sepsis and electronically communicating a second electronic notification to the second medical organization in near real-time indicating that the first electronic notification including the alert was sent to the first medical organization based on meeting the first actionable criteria set by the first medical organization indicating to indicate that the patient is at risk for developing the sepsis.
