摘要:
A system and method for utilizing a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) structured report (SR) for workflow optimization are provided. A method for providing a DICOM SR in an extensible markup language (XML) comprises: generating the DICOM SR; mapping attribute fields of the DICOM SR to an XML document; defining the XML document as a DICOM SR binary object; and storing the XML document in the DICOM SR.

An input processor receives a plurality of different first query messages in a corresponding plurality of different formats. A repository includes stored data elements in a first storage data structure. An intermediary processor automatically: parses the plurality of first query messages to identify requested data elements; maps the identified requested data elements to stored data elements in the first storage data structure of the repository; generates a plurality of second query messages in a format compatible with the repository for acquiring the stored data elements; acquires the stored data elements from the repository using the generated plurality of second query messages; and processes the acquired stored data elements in the plurality of second query messages for output in a format compatible with the corresponding plurality of different formats of the first query messages.
摘要:
A method for providing automatic decision support for the selection of a treatment protocol includes receiving information pertaining to the patient, the condition and the preferences partially or wholly by automatically parsing patient records. The information pertaining to the patient, the condition and the preferences may be partially or wholly ascertained by prompting a user for manual input of the desired data. The information is used to calculate one or more surrogate variables. A knowledge base including a plurality of treatment protocols is accessed and one or more of the plurality of treatment protocols are selected from the knowledge base based on the received information pertaining to the patient, the condition, and the preferences, the surrogate variables, and using a probabilistic framework. The selected treatment protocols are provided as treatment guidance.

A computer-implemented workflow engine for management of a worklist includes a worklist server interfaced with an information system providing services and storing a worklist entry, a task scheduler coupled to the worklist server, wherein the task scheduler decomposes the worklist entry stored by the worklist server, a task interpreter coupled to the task scheduler, receiving the worklist and separating the worklist into an action and a player, and a task manager coupled to the task scheduler and to the player specified by the worklist.
