  • Patent number: 8346572
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing clinical information to clinicians are provided. In embodiments, a patient's electronic health record is accessed to identify that a first clinician has requested a consult with a second clinician. Each clinician is associated with a clinician identifier that is identified by a plurality of sensors. A location for both the first and second clinician is received from the plurality of sensors. A determination is made whether the first and second clinicians are near one another. Upon determining that the first and second clinicians are near one another, a notification is presented to the first clinician. Such tracking of clinician location helps avoid missed opportunities and provides efficient communication among clinicians.

  • Patent number: 8082280
    Abstract: Computerized methods and systems for professional evaluation and management coding of a patient visit based upon documentation are provided. Such methods and systems increase efficiency and enhance the quality of clinician documentation by permitting automatic coding as a byproduct of documentation and eliminating the necessity for an after-the-fact check of the patient's chart to ensure appropriate documentation. Computerized methods and systems for navigating to a portion of an electronic record, e.g., an electronic medical record, based upon professional evaluation and management coding are also provided, as is the automatic insertion of document content where necessary.

  • Publication number: 20110106559
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for optimizing a clinical experience are provided. Individuals may be approved by a patient to receive notifications of clinical events. The notifications may be accessed from the patient's electronic health record. In embodiments, a location of a clinician associated with a patient and a location of the patient are received. A determination whether the clinician is near the patient is made. Upon determining that the clinician is near the patient, a notification is sent to a non-present party (e.g., a family member) via a mobile device. Such notifications include individuals in the clinical process and avoid missed opportunities for interactions with clinicians.

  • Patent number: 7875262
    Abstract: A delivery system for UV-protective sunscreen agents, antioxidants, skin care agents, cosmetics and the like comprising feruloylated acylglycerols (FAG) and other cinnamate-modified vegetable oils (CMVO) incorporates the agents into starch-based composites. These composites permit the use of a lower level of CMVO for comparable UV protection than if the CMVO were used alone.
