SEARCH AND VALUE ANALYSIS TOOL FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, PATIENTS, AND PAYERS

摘要

An integrated search and value analysis tool for healthcare providers includes a scoring and reporting server in communication with a plurality of HIPAA compliant databases. A management engine running on the server may execute a database management module, a rule module, and a GUI module configured to display a GUI having a plurality of interactive, preconfigured screens at a healthcare service provider terminal, a patient terminal, a payer terminal, and an administrator terminal. In operation, the management engine may retrieve healthcare quality and cost data from a healthcare service provider system, store the quality and the cost data in the databases, value score the provider in relation to its peers, and report, via the preconfigured screens of the GUI, one or more value scores for the healthcare service provider, thereby enabling a provider selection that results in an optimized procedure outcome at an effective cost. Other embodiments are disclosed.
