Abstract
An emergency room triage and intake system management software is provided. The analysis, encryption, transmission and storage of demographic and critical patient data necessary for both intake and triage assessments is cross-referenced with a pre-existing Emergency Department (ED) dispatch database which may include real-time patient loads, estimated wait-times, hospital capabilities, and distance from the patient. A secondary algorithmic analysis which includes a traffic density and optimal route parameter is included. The outcome of the analysis consists of an optimal ED location, route, and authorization to transmit the totality of the registered patient information to said location. The user is also given the option to authorize the contact of emergency medical services, or to cancel the request. All transmitted and stored data is secured via a cryptosystem. Critical data may be input by any given user, while demographical data may only be modified by the registered user/patient.
Description
EMERGENCY ROOM TRIAGE AND INTAKE SYSTEM MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
DESCRIPTION
(1) Background Art In order to manage the large influx of patients at any given time, an emergency room triage process prioritizes those with the most critical injuries before addressing those with more minor or non-life threatening injuries or illnesses. Another component which forms a part of the administrative processes within an emergency room setting consists of patient intake. During this time, an intake specialist will communicate with the patient in order to assess their determining their needs, their medical history, physical and mental state and any special requirements.
Existing triage and intake systems are; separate processes, time consuming and require the physical presence of the patient at a given facility. As such, the analysis, encryption and subsequent transmission of patient data using a patient accessible triage and intake management software would increase the efficiency and resource optimization of existing triage systems.

Existing triage and intake systems are; separate processes, time consuming and require the physical presence of the patient at a given facility. As such, the analysis, encryption and subsequent transmission of patient data using a patient accessible triage and intake management software would increase the efficiency and resource optimization of existing triage systems.
(2) Summary of the Invention The proposed invention pertains to patient accessible triage and intake system management software. The management software is optimized for use both through a mobile application and a desktop browser. Each patient must register their account using basic demographic data that would be requested in a conventional emergency room intake and the biometric data for accurate identity verification. Changes to such data can only be made by the patient, and this of the account is protected using said biometric security measures. Such information would include their legal name, legal gender, age, height, current weight, current address, any pre-existing conditions, current pharmacological regime, and an identifying number such as a public health care or private insurance number. The patient is then given a digital identification number which corresponds to both a medical record number and a hospital account number upon arrival. All data is encrypted and stored for later use.
In an emergency situation, a plurality of parameters modelled after a standard triage scale are prompted by the software, the answers to which are input by a given user. This portion of the account is not restricted, thus allowing bystanders to input critical information if the patient is incapacitated. Such metrics may include the event type, severity, urgency, symptomatology, progression of the patient's condition, as well as their current location.
This combined with their previously input demographic data is subsequently analyzed and cross-referenced with a pre-existing Emergency Department (ED) dispatch database which may include real-time patient loads, estimated wait-times, hospital capabilities, and distance from the patient. A secondary algorithmic analysis which includes a traffic density and optimal route parameters is included.
The totality of the input data is subsequently forwarded to the optimal ED
location generated by the software analysis. The following options are then presented to the user:
route to optimal ED
location, authorization to contact emergency medical services and authorization to cancel the request. Input and output information pertaining to the event is backed up, encrypted and stored, regardless of the outcome.
