Healthcare in 3D Terms and Phrases

  • Centering — Positioning the cube at the network entity and level being analyzed. Conceptually one can think of the cube traversing (sliding) up or down the network hierarchy.
  • Patient Centering — Positioning the cube at the patient level. Specifically the inflection point where the provider action is decided. At this lowest level, centering is on this single point along a patient’s care path.
  • Population Centering — Positioning the cube at the population level. At this level centering is around the actions for all patients (or a subset thereof). Visually in the Cube this would appear as an irregular polyhedron, for simplification a sphere is be used.
  • Provider Centering — Positioning the cube at the provider Level. At this level centering is around the provider actions for multiple patients (provider's population or a subset thereof). Visually in the cube this would appear as an irregular polyhedron, for simplification a sphere is used.
