摘要:
Embodiments described herein include systems and methods for financing amounts and account balances relating to healthcare services and goods. The system receives provider data from providers, including healthcare providers. The provider data from each provider includes patient account data corresponding to patients, and provider financial parameters. Financial data is received from financial entities, and the financial data from each entity includes financial product data, and qualification parameters. The system aggregates the data by aggregating the provider data and the financial data, and determines from the aggregated data a set of patients. Each patient of the set of patients corresponds to an account balance with a healthcare provider. The system generates from the aggregated data settlement options for resolving each account balance of the patients. The settlement options include payment options and/or financing options. The system controls access by patients to the settlement options and corresponding financial entities.

Embodiments provide for tracking and notifying healthcare providers of financially delinquent patients. A platform includes or is coupled to a database including identifying data of patient debtors who have been financially delinquent in a healthcare transaction with a healthcare provider. The identifying data includes patient and financial identification data of the transaction. A fee is received from a subscriber (healthcare provider) that enables the subscriber to electronically access the platform. The identifying data of patient debtors is provided to the subscriber via the platform. New identifying data of patient debtors is received at the platform from a contributing subscriber (healthcare provider). The new identifying data is identifying data of a new patient debtor and/or a new healthcare transaction of an existing patient debtor. A discount is automatically applied to the fee of the contributing subscriber in response to the new identifying data.
摘要:
Apparatus is provided that provides a ring of light around a junction to be viewed; the ring of light being bright enough to be seen on the other side of the junction. Such an arrangement may be used in severing an anatomic body, such as the cervix, from the vagina whereby a surgeon viewing the structure from the pelvic cavity has the junction outlined in light brought into contact with the junction through the vagina.

In order to protect body members adjacent an invasive procedure on a body, the member to be protected is illuminated preferably with infrared light energy and the entire site of the invasive procedure is viewed through an optical system that conducts both infrared and visible light energy to one or more video cameras. Various structures may be employed to separate the visible and infrared light energies so that the signals representing such light energies may be processed separately and differently if desired and then recombined for display or separately displayed on a video color monitor.
摘要:
A method and apparatus is provided for reducing the danger of cutting into a passage or organ of the body during a surgical procedure by inserting a catheter into the passage or organ, the catheter having interiorly thereof an infrared radiator and employing an infrared detection system that produces a detectable signal indicative of the proximity of an infrared probe to the passage or organ the proximity of the probe to the passage or organ being a function of the approach of the surgical procedure to the passage or organ. The position of the infrared source and the probe may be reversed. Further a system for viewing the sight of the procedure and displaying the body into which the catheter is inserted is provided.
摘要:
The invention provides systems for topically heating or cooling an animal or human body, and more particularly concerns a modular system in which a heating or cooling liquid is circulated in a hermetically sealed flow path between a heating or cooling device and a heating or cooling pad. In a preferred embodiment, the flow path includes a cassette which is reversibly engageable with a pump and a heating or cooling unit located in a housing.

Embodiments include a system comprising a non-thermal plasma (NTP) device and at least one container including supersaturated gas emulsion (SSGE). A method is described involving configuring a supersaturated gas emulsion (SSGE) for application to a treatment site and configuring a device to generate a non-thermal plasma (NTP) at the treatment site.
摘要:
A device includes a catheter section comprising a flexible joint region disposed between a distal end and a proximal end. The device includes a laser fiber disposed within the catheter section. The laser fiber emits laser light at a fiber distal end. The device includes a wire comprising a distal end coupled to the catheter section. The wire is configured to move the distal end of the catheter section from a first position to a second position about the flexible joint region.
摘要:
Systems and methods for financing healthcare treatment are described that include a web-based electronic infrastructure that automatically retrieves patient data from a patient management system of a service provider. A credit application is generated by automatically populating a credit application form of the patient financing system using the patient data. Custom credit applications are generated by mapping the credit application to the custom credit applications, with each custom credit application corresponding to one of a number of credit providers. The custom credit applications are electronically submitted to the credit providers. Electronic credit decisions are received from the credit providers in response to submission of the custom credit applications. A decision on a selected credit provider is received and, in response, an electronic acceptance form is generated and submitted to the selected credit provider. Notification of the decision is sent to the credit providers not selected.
