A data collection and data management system and method enables an entity user, such as a corporation, that owns and operates more than one type of health delivery setting to coordinate and control patient initial placement and or transfer between multiple health delivery settings to optimize care, improve utilization of resources and staff, and coordinate reimbursement outcomes for multiple health delivery settings. Base raw data is input by the multiple health delivery settings, translated and cleaned for use in a standardized format, and then processed for multiple uses in accordance with a pre-programmed scheme. |

| Claim: |
1. A corporate entity information organization for sharing system that is used to collect and manage data in a multiplicity of health delivery settings for patient care, the multiplicity of health delivery settings for patient care being owned or operated by at least one corporate entity, the system comprising a data input means, a shared data pool, the shared data pool comprising data collected from the data input means, and means for performing two-way sharing of data between the multiplicity of health delivery systems, wherein patient placement is controlled and coordinated between the health delivery systems to optimize care, improve resource and staff utilization, and coordinate reimbursement outcomes for the multiplicity of health delivery settings. |
| Claim: |
2. The information sharing system of claim 1 wherein the data input means comprises means for receiving raw data from the health delivery settings and the system further comprising means for converting the raw data into a standardized clean data format. |
| Claim: |
3. The information sharing system of claim 2 wherein the system further comprises means for performing calculations using the standardized clean data in accordance with a pre-programmed scheme. |
| Claim: |
4. A system for collecting and managing data for use with multiple health delivery settings for patient care, the multiple health delivery settings for patient care being owned or operated by at least one corporate entity, the system comprising a data translation layer, a data processing layer, and a data presentation layer, wherein raw base data from the multiple health delivery settings is received by the system at the data translation layer and cleaned for processing into a standardized format, and wherein patient placement is controlled and coordinated between the health delivery systems to accomplish one or more from a group consisting of optimization of patient care, improvement in resource and staff utilization, and coordination in reimbursement outcomes for multiple health delivery settings based upon the cleaned data in the standardized format. |
| Claim: |
5. The data collection and management system of claim 4 wherein the data processing layer comprises means for performing calculations using the standardized clean data in accordance with a pre-programmed scheme. |
| Claim: |
6. The data collection and management system of claim 5 wherein the data presentation layer comprises means for generating reports for use in business decision making by the at least one corporate entity. |
| Claim: |
7. A corporate entity information organization for sharing method that collects and manages data in a multiplicity of health delivery settings for patient care, the multiplicity of health delivery settings for patient care being owned or operated by at least one corporate entity, the method comprising the steps of inputting data from the multiplicity of health delivery settings, collecting input data within a shared data pool, and performing two-way sharing of data between the multiplicity of health delivery systems, wherein patient placement is controlled and coordinated between the health delivery systems to optimize care, improve resource and staff utilization, and coordinate reimbursement outcomes for the multiplicity of health delivery settings. |
| Claim: |
8. The information sharing method of claim 7 wherein the data input step comprises the step of receiving raw data from the health delivery settings and the method further comprises the step of converting the raw data into a standardized clean data format. |
| Claim: |
9. The information sharing method of claim 8 wherein the method further comprises the step of performing calculations using the standardized clean data in accordance with a pre-programmed scheme. |
| Claim: |
10. A method for collecting and managing data for use with multiple health delivery settings for patient care, the multiple health delivery settings for patient care being owned or operated by at least one corporate entity, the method comprising the steps of providing a data translation layer, providing a data processing layer, and providing a data presentation layer, wherein raw base data from the multiple health delivery settings is received by the system at the data translation layer and cleaned for processing into a standardized format, and wherein patient placement is controlled and coordinated between the health delivery systems to accomplish one or more from a group consisting of optimization of patient care, improvement in resource and staff utilization, and coordination in reimbursement outcomes for multiple health delivery settings based upon the cleaned data in the standardized format. |
| Claim: |
11. The data collection and management method of claim 10 wherein the data processing layer step further comprises the step of performing calculations using the standardized clean data in accordance with a pre-programmed scheme. |
| Claim: |
12. The data collection and management method of claim 11 wherein the data presentation layer step further comprises the step of generating reports for use in business decision making by the at least one corporate entity. |
