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.

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: 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.
