Abstract
Networks and methods include receiving healthcare information and with a computer identifying when a patient is readmitted to a healthcare provider. A readmission notification is generated for identified readmissions. The notification may identify the patient being readmitted, the readmitting event, prior event(s) and provider(s), substantive healthcare and clinical status for the patient, treatment dates, and/or any other desired information. Readmission alerts can be formatted and provided in accordance with their consumers' parameters. Example methods and embodiments may receive, process, store, compare, and otherwise use any of HL7 messages, CCDA information, clinical feeds, or any other type of electronic healthcare record. This information may be received from any number of different healthcare information sources and providers. With example networks and methods, readmitting providers or other consumers of readmission notifications can know exactly when a patient is readmitted and adjust the healthcare response accordingly.
