Background for Systems and Methods for Real-Time Transmission of Digital Data Using a Variety of Channels

Current computing systems might have limited data sources. Some institutional computing systems, for example, may have a limited number of data sources through which they can transmit, receive, or process data. Systems may need a particular portal to access data. This may be required in order to make it usable by business systems. Electronic records can be restricted in other contexts such as healthcare. Information may only be received through one data entry point.

Disclosed embodiments include methods, systems, and media that allow for the transmission and reception of digital data via a variety of channels. One or more networks may be used to receive data from multiple sources. Some embodiments include a method of assigning a geographical area to data from multiple sources. This geographic area corresponds to one or more locations that are associated with the data. Disclosed embodiments can also include determining the health effects of a predetermined place based on data and associated geographical locations. The disclosed embodiments can also include the generation, through querying a predetermined database, of instructions that address the health effects for the predetermined place, the instructions including an act and an associated device. The disclosed embodiments can also include the transmission to the associated device of the instructions.

Consistently with other disclosed embodiments,” non-transitory computer-readable storage media can store program instructions. These are executed by one to more processors to execute any of the methods herein.

The following detailed description and the general description are only examples and explanatory and do not limit the claims.

Reference will now take place in detail to exemplary embodiments. Examples of these are shown in the accompanying drawings and disclosed herein. The same reference numbers will be used throughout drawings wherever possible to refer to similar or identical parts.

The channels by which existing computing systems receive and transmit data may be restricted. The number of devices that can generate and transmit data has increased. Systems that cannot receive, process and analyze data from other devices could result in systems operating on outdated or inaccurate information. The Internet-of-Things devices (IoT), for example, have increased in popularity and offer computing platforms additional data types, quality, or amounts. Systems that cannot receive and process this data might not be able take advantage of the extra useful information they provide.

This problem may affect certain applications of computing systems in different ways. A system that relies on a single wind measurement source for data may produce inaccurate readings. This is especially true in meteorological analysis. One system that receives pressure readings from multiple mobile phones or IoT devices can get more accurate readings. A system that is unable to receive and analyze IoT data directly from patients, their homes and healthcare facilities, may not be able to provide the best and most cost-effective care. Patients in non-emergency situations, for example, may call 911 or visit the Emergency Department at their hospital. These cases often lead to alternative venues that may be better suited for their medical needs, such as an urgent clinic or secondary care clinic. Current computing systems may not be able to direct patients to other venues. Patients are left believing that they have no choice but to seek emergency medical help. A lack of ability for emergency dispatching computing systems to direct all patients to the best care facility may also be a problem. Overcrowding in emergency rooms can lead to long wait times and strained resources, which can result in overwhelmed care providers and a lack of ability to direct patients to the most appropriate care venue. Traditional computing systems, which cannot access multiple data sources, can create an inaccurate patient load calculation system, leading to high costs for both patients and the health system.

These problems can be addressed by a system that intelligently collects information from multiple sources and uses a variety of channels. This system could use additional information channels to send control instructions through multiple channels. The computing system could guide patients to the best care venue, coordinate shipment of supplies to meet pre-emptive needs, manage community advisory delivery mechanisms (e.g. by creating targeted web ads), and connect them with healthcare providers. This computing system could coordinate healthcare operations across the entire enterprise or mobile devices of the population based on real-time surveillance of patient-specific and community-wide data.

Disclosed embodiments could include healthcare command centres. The cost, scope, and size of healthcare command centers can vary. These centers can reduce complexity and coordinate work efforts. They also enhance communication efficiency and effectiveness by providing continuous, contextual situational awareness and enabling proactive planning for current and future needs. These centralized and coordinated activities can provide value by concentrating computational resources and data. This allows disclosed embodiments to access new types and processes data more efficiently, and enables new computations. Patients can be cared for in a coordinated system across the care continuum. This saves resources that would otherwise be wasted on multiple incompatible and dissimilar computing platforms. Access to care can be quicker, the length of hospitalizations may be shorter, indirect and direct costs of care may be lower, and there may be a reduced chance of harm. The central operation can provide insight into resource usage, giving visibility to peak demand and under-use of highly valuable infrastructure, resources, and human capital. The centralized command center can assign scarce resources to urgent patient care needs and create a schedule for care.

Caregivers are experts in providing care for patients, supporting their families and planning for treatment. Clinicians are often overwhelmed by the burdens of providing care and the operational logistics of finding and deploying equipment. They also have to help patients get into the right care setting. This is in addition to providing a safe and enjoyable patient experience. Cognitive overload is a contributing factor to decreased function and safety events. A centralized command center in certain embodiments could allow healthcare providers to delegate operational aspects of providing healthcare to a central computing system that is managed by staff with expertise in healthcare operations. This centralized computing system can monitor and forecast the needs of patients and allocate resources in a coordinated manner to meet them.

The current healthcare environment is overwhelming staff and caregivers with constant streams of information. Identifying priority messages is becoming a greater challenge. The present disclosure reveals that predictive analytics can automate message prioritization. Identified messages may then be presented to caregivers or staff in simple, elegant notifications. Staff and caregivers may be able to identify the most valuable work quickly, so that they can complete it within the set of activities each shift. The network effect of completing high-value work first frees up beds and accelerates treatment times. It also reduces the waiting time for non-prioritized batched activity. Streamlining message prioritization, transmission and other functions may reduce the communication network load by reducing redundant or unnecessary communications.
