Title: Cna-guided care for improving clinical outcomes and decreasing total cost of care
IPC: G16H20/00
Filed: 2022-05-23
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for improving patient clinical outcomes and reducing total cost of care using CNA-guided care. 
     SOLUTION: A computing system includes the stages of: grouping patients within a patient population into clinically relevant groups having the same values for preselected classification variables for association with disease survival, prognosis, or treatment; considering biological variability of the patient population; effectively removing the biological variability as a factor in treatment outcomes within each patient group; and leaving treatment variability as a dominant factor in the treatment outcomes within each patient group. The computing system obtains sufficient information to assign a CNA to a new patient for full medical evaluation of the new patient not included in a plurality of patients, uses the CNA assigned to the new patient to determine an optimal level of care with a low risk of adverse difference, and provides corresponding options for selecting a medical worker and a desired level of CNA-guided care.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine capable of enhancing game interest. 
     SOLUTION: When no CB combination is won in a game in which any of CB combinations is not won in a normal state, no winning occurs. In the game in which a CB combination is won and no CB winning occurs, ART transfer lottery processing is executed and, when transfer winning occurs, a game state transfers to an ART state. In the ART state, a winning state of the CB combination is carried over, while in the case that a prescribed combination is won in combination lottery processing, when stop operation is performed in a mode in which winning of the prescribed combination cannot occur, CB winning occurs and the ART state ends. In this case, when CB winning occurs in the ART state where a continuation condition is satisfied, ART ends in the middle; when rescue replay winning follows, the ART state that has ended in the middle is recovered.
