A system for providing transportation services in a health care facility includes a communication network, a transportation services management system, one or more dispatcher devices, and one or more transport responder mobile devices. The transportation services management system stores and retrieves information relating to dispatches of transportation services jobs at one or more health care facilities. The dispatch devices exchange, with the transportation services management system, information relating to the transportation services jobs and display information to a transportation dispatch manager. The transport responder mobile devices exchange, with the transportation services management system, information relating to the transportation services jobs and display information to transport responders.

Systems and techniques for sharing healthcare fraud data are described herein. Healthcare fraud detection schemes and/or fraud data may be automatically shared, investigated, enabled, and/or used by entities. A healthcare fraud detection scheme may be enabled on different entities comprising different computing systems to combat similar healthcare fraud threats, instances, and/or attacks. Healthcare fraud detection schemes and/or fraud data may be modified to redact sensitive information and/or configured through access controls for sharing.

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for the management of multiple sensor control devices and/or multiple reader devices in an in vivo analyte monitoring environment, and also for resolving conflicts when merging data collected by different reader devices.

In item mapping information, each of a plurality of first items amongst a plurality of items included in a patient database is mapped to, amongst the plurality of items, one or more different items whose registered data entries have relationships with data entries registered under the first item. Based on the item mapping information, a computing unit identifies one or more third items having relationships with a second item designated amongst the first items. The computing unit performs an evaluation of the degree of similarity between a particular patient information record registering therein data entries associated with a particular patient under the plurality of items and each of a plurality of patient information records by using only the third items or the second and third items as comparison targets, and outputs the result of the evaluation.

An information processing method in an interactive apparatus that questions a user's symptom through interaction with a user includes: outputting first question information of a first type concerning the user's symptom to a display or a speaker connected to the interactive apparatus, receiving first answer information indicating an answer to the question in the first question information from a keyboard, a touch panel, or a microphone connected to the interactive apparatus, outputting second question information of the first type concerning the user's symptom to the display or the speaker when it is determined that the answer in the first answer information does not include a word in a negative expression, and outputting third question information of a second type concerning the user's symptom to the display or the speaker when it is determined that the answer in the first answer information includes the word in the negative expression.

A method of augmenting sight in an individual. The method comprises obtaining an image of a scene using a camera carried by the individual; transmitting the obtained image to a processor carried by the individual; selecting an image modification to be applied to the image by the processor; operating upon the image to create a modified image using either analog or digital imaging techniques, and displaying the modified image on a display device worn by the individual. The invention also relates to an apparatus augmenting sight in an individual. The apparatus comprises a camera, carried by the individual, for obtaining an image of a scene viewed by the individual; a display carried by the individual; an image modification input device carried by the individual; and a processor, carried by the individual. The processor modifies the image and displays the modified image on the display carried by the individual.

Subject matter described herein is related to assigning a healthcare clinician to provide care to a patient. For example, a GUI is provided that includes contextual information relevant to the assignment and that allows a user to electronically create the assignment. Relevant information includes a list of clinicians, a list of patients, and an estimate of the amount of resources required to provide care to a patient. In addition, this disclosure describes tracking the status of a healthcare clinician, such as primary provider, secondary provider, and on-break. Status might be tracked by capturing an image of a display board, which supports clinician barcodes that are movable to desired locations within a depiction of a healthcare facility (e.g., floor plan laid out using barcodes).

A method for supporting hospital visits on a social network platform includes: detecting a user input for registering a visit at a hospital using a social network client application of the social network platform; in response to detecting the user input: obtaining a registration number for the visit, wherein the registration number indicates an ordinal position of the user in a hospital queue of multiple visitors to the hospital; and displaying a group chat interface for a group conversation including a social network identity of the user and a public social network identity of the hospital; and displaying a payment request for the visit in the group chat interface.
