  • Patent number: 7970624
    Abstract: A workflow system and user interface coordinates information concerning a course of treatment of a patient, as well as data from a treatment device and links appointment data from a scheduling system with actual treatment activity information in order to show a complete timeline of a course of treatment. A user interface system for presenting medication dosage and treatment information includes a display processor for providing data representing a single display image. The single display image presents information identifying treatment received by a patient and treatment scheduled to be received by the patient together with a timeline. The single display image also presents information identifying cumulative dosage of a medication received by a patient and an associated date the cumulative dosage is received by the patient. A command processor initiates presentation of the single display image in response to user command.

  • Patent number: 7966774
    Abstract: The invention is for an improved security shelter for small personal transportation vehicles. The invention features lockable, weatherproof storage for such vehicles as motorcycles, bicycles, four wheelers, and Segways®. It is lightweight and can be efficiently manufactured. Vents are optimally located to allow the release of vapor and heat. A lid is hinged to the top such that it can be easily raised or lowered by the user for the purpose of parking a vehicle. Moreover, strategic placement of structural molded ridges and structural flanges in the various components of the invention adds to the overall stability and rigidity of the apparatus.

  • Patent number: 7970629
    Abstract: A system improves payment claims transactions by analyzing payments transactions to update payment edit rules according to information derived from the transactions. A system adapts rules used for processing claim adjudication data provided by a payer organization concerning a claim for reimbursement for provision of healthcare to a patient previously submitted to the payer organization in a claim. The system includes a data processor for parsing claim adjudication data provided by a specific payer organization in an electronic transaction message to identify data comprising, (a) a payer organization identifier and (b) a reason for rejection of a claim. A rules processor automatically generates a payer specific rule for use in pre-processing a claim for submission to the specific payer identified by the payer organization identifier by translating data comprising the reason for rejection into a logical expression resolvable using data elements in a claim.

  • Patent number: 7959347
    Abstract: A blender for blending foodstuff includes a base enclosing a motor and having an upper mounting surface. A jar sensor is secured to the base proximate the upper mounting surface and a jar is removably mountable to the base on the mounting surface. The jar includes a closed end and an actuator is mounted proximate the closed end. The jar sensor detects the presence of the actuator when the jar is mounted to the base in an operating position. The motor is powered when the jar sensor detects the presence of the actuator in the operating position. A motor temperature indicator is positioned on a control panel on the base and a temperature sensor is in communication with the motor temperature indicator. First and second cordsets are adaptable for removable mounting to the base for powering the motor.

  • Patent number: 7962544
    Abstract: A system automatically establishes context information (e.g., determining changes to user interface workflows, screens, menus, and access requirements for devices such as monitors, ventilators, and diagnostic equipment) used by a worker in using healthcare information applications based on patient geographic location (e.g., a room or bed or department). The system addresses the need for a user to sign onto a system with each location change and manually change context information which consumes computer, server and network resources and represent a potential security problem. A healthcare system selects information to be provided to a user in response to received location dependent context data. The system includes a proximity detector for wirelessly detecting presence of an identification tag substantially within a predetermined vicinity of the detector. The identification tag is associated with at least one of, (a) a particular processing device and (b) a particular person.

  • Patent number: 7952425
    Abstract: A system provides a high quality, and intuitive multi-band filter that adapts when noise frequencies or noise amplitudes change. A system for adaptively filtering patient monitoring signals, comprises a filter controller for adaptively determining the number of, and individual filter bandwidth of, multiple adaptive signal filters to be used in filtering multiple bandwidths within an encompassing signal filtering bandwidth. The filter controller does this in response to, (a) noise data indicating noise source frequencies and (b) configuration data determining medical signal or noise source characteristics, to provide programming data for programming a plurality of adaptive signal filters. The system includes multiple adaptive signal filters individually having a filtering bandwidth and filtering characteristic programmable in response to received programming data. A noise detector automatically identifies a noise component in a received patient monitoring signal and generates the noise data.
