Abstract:
The presently disclosed digital healthcare platform provides patients and healthcare providers with a precise and focused treatment pathway to address healthcare issues. One embodiment enables a patient-initiated e-Visit to address a healthcare issue with an issue-focused adaptive interview. The results of this adaptive interview are forwarded to a skilled clinician for review, who then provides an assessment and a plan of action for the issue. The plan of action may include specific instructions, a prescription, or a referral to a third party medical provider for testing, consultation, or treatment. Another embodiment provides an identification “ticket” to the patient to coordinate care obtained at third parties. The ticket can be presented by the patient to a third party medical provider (such as with a barcode displayed on a mobile device) to identify the patient and enable the third party medical provider to access patient information from the digital healthcare platform.
