STTR Phase I: Accelerating the dissemination of healthcare interventions that improve care for high-need/high-cost patients

这一小型企业技术转移(STTR)第一阶段项目的更广泛影响/商业潜力包括：通过使高需求/高成本患者的信息即时可访问并为医疗保健提供者量身定做，加快医疗保健改进的步伐；将健康干预数据库转变为关于护理高需求/高成本患者的积极和动态的学习社区；减轻安全网提供者的负担，以分类和筛选有关向高需求/高成本患者提供护理的数十个信息源。健康信息网络工具(HINT)将是定制算法的独特组合，将填补知识中的关键空白，特别是关于健康差距、健康的社会决定因素和服务不足的条件；增加安全网提供者与同行联系参与协作解决问题的机会；减少安全网医疗机构中错误和失败干预措施的重复和重复；提高公众对制定有希望的干预措施的安全网机构的认可度；并使机器学习技术进步，为高需求/高成本患者提出护理模式。HINIT的商业影响包括：降低向高需求/高成本人群提供的医疗服务的成本和质量；为安全网机构和提供者创造机会，推销他们在护理复杂、服务不足的患者方面的专业知识。拟议的项目是基于这样一种信念：在照顾社会最脆弱人群方面，整个安全网卫生系统每天都有巧妙的解决方案；该HINIT将带来前所未有的资源来传播大量和不断变化的医疗保健信息，从而加速创新；拟议的信息网络将减少信息的碎片化和目前发生的错误和失败干预中的重复；最后，释放和传播同行的创新和建议--在类似的机构中并照顾类似的患者--将加速成功的做法，以改善高需求/高成本患者的健康。Hint建议开发独特的爬行、聚类、文本挖掘、协作过滤、二部匹配和排名算法。该团队将把这六种算法集成到一个定制的社交内容管理系统中，并解决围绕设计和功能的挑战。

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase 1 project includes: accelerating the pace of healthcare improvement by making information on high-need/high-cost patients instantly accessible and individually tailored to health care providers; transforming health intervention databases into active and dynamic learning communities about caring for high-need/high-cost patients; reducing the burden on safety net providers to sort and sift through dozens of information sources about delivering care to high-need/high-cost patients. Health Information Networking Tool (HINT) will be a unique combination of customized algorithms that will fill in critical gaps in knowledge, especially around health disparities, the social determinants of health and underserved conditions; boost opportunities for safety net providers to connect with peers to engage in collaborative problem-solving; reduce duplication and repetition of errors and failed interventions across safety net healthcare organizations; increase public recognition for safety net institutions that develop promising interventions; and enable technical advancements in machine learning to suggest models of care for high-need/high-cost patients. The commercial impact for HINT includes: reducing the cost and improving the quality of care delivered to high-need/high cost populations; and creating opportunities for safety net institutions and providers to market their expertise on caring for complex, underserved patients.The proposed project was conceived on the belief that ingenious solutions in caring for society's most vulnerable populations occur daily across the safety net health system; that HINT will accelerate innovation by bringing an unprecedented resource to disseminate voluminous and constantly changing healthcare information; that the proposed information network will reduce the fragmentation of information and duplication in errors and failed interventions that currently occur; and finally that unlocking and disseminating innovations and advice from peers - in similar institutions and caring for similar patients - will accelerate successful practices to improve the health of high-need/high-cost patients. HINT proposes to develop unique crawling, clustering, text mining, collaborative filtering, bipartite matching, and ranking algorithms. The team will integrate the six algorithms into a customized social content management system, and address challenges around design and functionality.
