Claim 10:
11. One or more non-transitory computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon which, when executed by a computing system having a processor and a memory, cause the computing system to perform a method for enabling multi-site surveillance and decision support for a patient's medical care, the 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 a 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 fora sepsis;
receiving, from a second client application residing on at least one computing device associated with a second medical organization, a 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;
based on occurrence of the triggering event, creating a multi-site risk assessment array for the patient that is related to the triggering event, wherein the multi-site risk assessment array comprises a plurality of nodes and represents the patient's risk of developing the sepsis, and wherein each node of the plurality of nodes represents a distinct health parameter for the sepsis;
populating at least a first portion of the plurality of nodes of the multi-site risk assessment array with at least a portion of the reconciled first set of patient information;
populating at least a second portion of the plurality of nodes of the multi-site risk assessment array with at least a portion of the reconciled second set of patient information, wherein the multi-site risk assessment array for the patient is currently open and active for a predetermined period of time within which the sepsis can occur in the patient;
continuously monitoring and continuously populating the plurality of nodes of the multi-site risk assessment array, while the multi-site risk assessment array remains open and active, with reconciled medical information of the patient received via the first client application and the second client application, respectively;
determining that sepsis-specific actionable criteria have been met based on at least values of a first node and a second node of the multi-site risk assessment array, among the plurality of nodes; and
triggering an escalation logic for providing a near real-time electronic notification including an alert and electronically communicating the near real-time electronic notification including the alert to a present medical provider that the sepsis-specific actionable criteria has been met, wherein the sepsis-specific actionable criteria is the first actionable criteria and the near real-time electronic notification including the alert is communicated to the first medical organization via the first client application and a second near real-time electronic notification is sent to the second medical organization via the second client application and indicates that the near real-time electronic notification including the alert was sent to the first medical organization based on the first actionable criteria.
