Abstract
Disclosed is a method, a device, a system and/or a manufacture of maximizing patient referral outcome through healthcare utilization and/or referral record evaluation. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a healthcare utilization log and/or referral log with a determined (POS) value and/or a type of service value. A referral request is generated, including a referral profile of a patient. A reduced dataset matching the referral profile is generated from a utilization dataset and/or a referral dataset. The method then calculates a POS utilization rate, an inbound re-referral rate, and/or additional values of a healthcare provider represented in the reduced dataset. A utilization ruleset and/or a referral ruleset is applied to score and/or rank the healthcare provider. A referral data including a UID of the healthcare provider is transmitted over a network from a server to a computing device running a point-of-care application. The referral is selected and automatically scheduled.
