Abstract: A bio-probe having a base and a tip and also including a set of at least four conductors extending longitudinally along the bio-probe, the conductors being coated with dielectric material. Also, at least four of the conductors define a spot where the dielectric material has been removed, thereby defining an electrical contact site. In addition, the bio-probe is less than 2.5 mm thick in its greatest transverse dimension along a longitudinal portion extending from the tip to a point 6 cm proximal of the tip.

Abstract: A system supports creation and modification of a flexible and comprehensive location structure model able to track patients in a healthcare (or other) setting and identify suitable patient locations and location availability via a user friendly display interface. A method processes location related information for use in facilitating movement of a patient in a healthcare enterprise. The method involves establishing a profile comprising information identifying multiple locations available to accommodate a patient for different purposes. The profile incorporates attributes including a location type identifier, and a location characteristic of clinical significance influencing availability of a particular location to a patient having a particular medical condition. The profile is employed in providing a user with an indication of location availability in response to user command.

Abstract: A system and user friendly display interface supports creation and modification of a flexible and comprehensive organization structure model able to support provision of clinical care, patient tracking, billing and administration. A method provides a user interface for maintaining organization related information in support of organization operation. The method involves receiving search criteria for use in identifying organization characteristic information. The search criteria is employed in searching a profile comprising information identifying an encompassing organization structure including information identifying multiple constituent organizations and associated organization type and user determinable organization role. Search result information is processed in providing organization characteristic information suitable for presentation to a user via a displayed image in response to user command.

Abstract: A system for grouping records of charges associated with provision of services to an entity to support reimbursement monitoring includes an acquisition processor for acquiring data related to charges for services provided to the entity. A data processor is coupled to the acquisition processor and to a source of rules. The data processor groups the charges using the rules to provide a reimbursable amount value and creates a record containing data representing the grouped charges and the reimbursable amount value.

Abstract: A system supports creation and modification of a flexible and comprehensive organization structure model able to support provision of clinical care, patient tracking, billing and administration via a user friendly display interface. A method maintains organization related information for use in supporting organization operation. The method involves establishing a profile comprising information identifying an encompassing organization structure including information identifying a plurality of constituent organizations. The profile incorporates attributes for constituent individual organizations including, a constituent organization type identifier, and a user determinable role identifier. The role identifier indicates a role of a constituent organization in the encompassing organization structure. The method also involves employing the profile in providing a user with information concerning a constituent organization in response to user command.

Abstract: A system supports creation and modification of a flexible and comprehensive location structure model able to track patients and identify suitable patient locations and location availability via a user friendly display interface. A method provides a user interface system facilitating movement of a patient in a healthcare enterprise. The method involves receiving search criteria information for use in identifying at least one suitable location for occupation by a patient. The search criteria is employed in searching a profile comprising information identifying a hierarchical organization of locations available to accommodate a patient for different purposes within a healthcare enterprise. The different purposes include, (a) for hosting a patient encounter with a healthcare enterprise involving patient and healthcare enterprise interaction, or (b) for accommodating a patient.
