Abstract:
Clinical Information Systems (CIS) may combine evidence-based and best-practice diagnosis and treatment of care delivery into an electronic workflow with clinical decision support (CDS) tools (e.g. order sets, structure documentation, rule-based alerts, compliance and performance reports) to improve care delivery. Configurating CIS's has required manually intensive processes and clinical experts to determine mapping of clinical concepts in the CDS to the CIS. Changes in medicine change configuration requirements causing changes to data structure, semantics, and even historical information. Traditional mapping is non-explicit and hard coded with a high effort cost for reconfiguration, interoperability, and quality assessment. Using Semantic Context Maps, simultaneously mapping naturally stated, native encoding, and semantic encoding in a clinical context, provides simplification of configuration of CDS and increases value of clinical information as medicine evolves. The invention constructs semantically encoded clinical data using semantic context mapping to enable analytics using semantic processing instead of traditional query analytics.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for efficient medical chart review are provided. In some embodiments, medical records are received. The admissibility of each record is then determined. Next, a condition and MEAT assessment is generated for the medical records. The condition and MEAT determination each have a corresponding confidence. A determination may be made whether human quality assurance is required. If so, the medical records may be routed to one or more coders for human review. In addition, the systems and methods may also perform an audit analysis on the records, which identifies codes which have been submitted and have insufficient evidence. Lastly, a cost metric for the patient based upon the condition and MEAT determination may be generated.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for managing patients during pain management treatment that includes a server and a medical database including patient information associated with patients within a territory, the medical information including a status of each patient indicating a stage of treatment between a candidate for treatment stage, one or more pre-treatment stages, and one or more treatment stages. The system also includes team electronic devices communicating with the server to add and/or update information regarding patients in the medical database and/or synchronize local databases of the team electronic devices with the medical database.
Abstract:
A server-based system (10) enables exchange of medical messages between users, monitors for a probability of communications breakdown likely to result in medical error, and instigates corrective actions to prevent communications breakdown from occurring. Monitoring may include whether a user has read or acted upon a message received within a specified timeframe and whether a user has specified routing preferences for delivering a message to a user better suited to read or act on the message. Corrective actions include the determination of and routing of messages to an optimal recipient and the generation of alerts to subsequent users where a message has not been read or acted upon within a specified timeframe.
Abstract:
A method of managing an allocation of medical examinations. The method comprises documenting, in at least one dataset, for each one of a plurality of individuals of a certain population, a plurality of historical medical test results, calculating, using a computerized processor, a plurality of relative scores each indicative of a risk of having a medical condition for one of the plurality of individuals based on respective the plurality of historical medical test results, each one of the plurality of relative scores is relative to the other of the plurality of relative scores, providing a population examination framework defining at least one criterion for selecting an individual, from the plurality of individuals, for a diagnosis of the medical condition, selecting a subgroup of the plurality of individuals according to the population examination framework, and designating members of the subgroup to perform the medical examinations.
Abstract:
A method for displaying contextual information by a diabetes reporter of a diabetes management system is provided. The method may include: displaying a graphical representation of a plurality of data values over a period of time in a first area of an interface display; receiving a selection of a desired data value from among the plurality of data values displayed in the first area; displaying, in response to the selection, a first set of data entries and a second set of data entries in a second area of the interface display concurrently with the graphical representation of the plurality of data values in the first area of an interface display. The first set of data entries and the second set of data entries are displayed in chronological order within a preset time period.
Abstract:
A system for health and wellness mobile management comprises a database operable to store a health and wellness data record associated with a patient/data owner, a content management system adapted to strictly control access to the health and wellness data record stored in the database according to access rules set by the patient, a web interface adapted to interface with information requesters submitting requests for access to the health and wellness data record via a web application, an external connect interface adapted to interface with external systems and applications for receiving health and wellness data associated with the patient, a prescription interface adapted to receive a pharmaceutical prescription for the patient submitted by a healthcare provider, and a handheld physiological parameter measurement device adapted to wirelessly communicate with a computing device executing the web application.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, devices, and techniques for updating medical documentation associated with a patient. In one example, a computerized system for managing medical documentation associated with a patient may include one or more computing devices configured to receive user input responsive to a query presented via a user interface, wherein the user input addresses one or more undocumented items related to the query and determined from a plurality of documented items related to the patient. Responsive to receiving the user input, the one or more computing devices may be configured to generate updated information indicative of the user input and related to the patient, generate indicia indicative of the user input, and output, for display, the indicia.
Abstract:
One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a system that can enter clinical data on an electronic tooth chart. A graphical data input can be received from an ink-over interface. The graphical data input can include an annotation associated with a tooth. Information associated with the annotation can be determined based on information stored in a recognition engine and stored as structured data associated with the tooth.
Abstract:
A system and method integrating healthcare delivery to patients using data bridges that connect healthcare providers, patients, patient medical education, and patient monitoring devices is disclosed. The system incorporates a mobile user interface device (MUD) allowing user inputs or detected events from a variety of medical instrumentation devices (MID) to be controlled by a healthcare web server computer (HWS) over a computer communication network (CCN). Information retrieved from the MID and transmitted by the MUD to the HWS is then used by a patient healthcare monitor (PHM) process to populate a medical records database (MRD). MRD contents are then matched to patient healthcare plan (PHP) event/time triggers (ETT) that drive information from a provider content database (PCD) to the MUD through the HWS over the CCN. Healthcare provider update / control of the PHP/ETT/PCD allow integration of patient educational materials with patient health status monitoring.
