Abstract: A method of creating medical documentation uses selection of images representing synonyms for complex medical concepts. The images can be of two types, one corresponding to a parameter or Key in a Key/Value pair and the other corresponding to possible values of the selected parameter or Key. The user first selects an image or portion thereof corresponding to the parameter they wish to record observations, such as the heart or a valve of the heart. A set of images representing possible values of the parameter is then displayed e.g., images representing possible murmurs the selected valve may have. The user selects the image representing the value corresponding to the observation of the patient. A document is created by recording either the Key/Value image pairs or, alternative, text representing the synonyms for the images. Other methods of recording the document are possible, such as instantiating a set of class objects.

Abstract: A method includes receiving from a health care practitioner input corresponding to creation of a first health care order which includes one or more parameters associated with a health care goal for the patient, one or more parameters associated with one or more rules for communicating notifications regarding the first health care order to the first health care practitioner via the electronic health records application, and instructions for the patient for complying with the first health care order. The method further includes displaying to the patient a patient portal comprising a goals interface which displays information associated with the first health care order for the patient created by the first health care practitioner, and allowing the patient to input readings for the order. The method further includes communicating one or more notifications back to the electronic health records application based on the readings.

Abstract: A method for tracking a patient in a medical facility is disclosed. The method includes determining whether a patient is to be moved, indicating the time at which the patient should start to be moved, and interrogating a RFID sensor on the patient at a predetermined time interval to determine when the patient has been moved.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for an address system to identify a field and/or a row in a data structure. A method may include receiving a request to modify a field of data, wherein the field of data is identified by a received field key. A method may also include determining whether the field of data was rendered for display. A method may also include modifying the field in a tree structure in an instance in which the field of data was rendered for display, wherein the received field key is configured locate an address object that is related to the field. A method may also include modifying the field of data in a tree structure in an instance in which the field of data was not rendered for display by locating the received field key in a field key lookup map, wherein the field key lookup map is configured to locate the address object.

Abstract: Software configured to interface with multiple other disparate software applications or databases to present a single user interface to a user allows the user to view and modify data from multiple applications and/or databases without having to worry about which application the data comes from. The software provides a user interface which presents to the user seamless integration of data from multiple disparate applications/databases, even though the software may have to continually interface with one or both applications to retrieve, modify, and store data. Exemplary such software comprises workbench software configured to integrate multiple EHR applications and allow for retrieval, presentation, creation, editing, and updating of data from such EHR applications.

Abstract: An aspect of the present invention relates to a method for dynamically constructing a pre-populated note template comprising receiving a context from a user and determining whether there are any note templates that match an initial criteria including the received context. A note template is then loaded based on the determination of matching note templates. If there are one or more sections in the loaded template, for each section in the loaded template, determine if there are any forms for the section that match the context. A pre-populated Note template is then loaded including any matching forms.
