Abstract: The present invention relates to a system method of provisioning mobile device security settings to provide authorized users with secure access. The system and method uses a generated, computer-readable authentication code that is read by a mobile device. The authentication code enables an unprovisional mobile device to request security credentials to enable a user of the mobile device to connect to a secured system.

Abstract: An electronic medical records system with computerized provider order entry includes error checking for duplicate or medically similar orders. In the system, similar medical orders are displayed on adjacent screens and are highlighted, thereby allowing medical personnel to easily identify and evaluate the orders. The user can therefore choose to modify or delete medically similar entries easily and quickly, thereby minimizing the occurrence of duplicate or repetitive orders, and increasing efficiency of the system.

Abstract: The disclosure includes a method and system for initiating at least one workflow associated with a patient, the system enabling users to create electronic messages, the method comprising the steps of presenting an electronic message via a display wherein the electronic message includes at least fields, associating the displayed electronic message with a first patient, receiving a general event descriptor entered by a system user via an interface in one of the message fields where the general event descriptor can be used to identify at least one workflow being requested by the user, obtaining the general event descriptor from the field, identifying a workflow associated with the general event descriptor and associated with the first patient and transmitting an electronic message to at least one entity that is capable of handling the workflow being requested by the user.

Abstract: A system provides an information sharing architecture that allows physically separate healthcare information systems, called “deployments,” to share and exchange information. The collection of these participating deployments is referred to as the “Community,” and systems within the Community sometimes store records for patients in common. The system allows participants in the Community to share information on data changes to these patients, and to reconcile concurrent and conflicting updates to the patient's record.

Abstract: A computer-implemented patient monitoring system includes a patient data monitoring system on a first computing system, including a patient medical data query engine configured to generate one or more rule execution requests. The monitoring system further includes a network circuit communicating with the medical database system and one or more remote patient care computing devices. The remote care computing devices in turn include a patient medical data repository and a query response engine configured to respond to received rule execution requests. Responding to rule execution requests includes verifying the validity of a rule execution request, identifying data in the patient medical data repository responsive to the rule execution request, and transmitting response patient medical data responsive to the rule execution request.

Abstract: A computer-implemented electronic messaging method and system, the method comprising the steps of receiving an electronic message at a first system, the electronic message comprising a healthcare provider type, obtaining contextual information associated with the electronic message at the first system, using the healthcare provider type and the contextual information to identify an intended recipient address for an intended healthcare provider recipient for the electronic message and providing the intended recipient address to facilitate delivery of the electronic message to the intended healthcare provider recipient.

Abstract: Media, methods, and systems facilitate identification and presentation of medical information that is relevant to a current condition of a patient. The relative prominence of the information is associated with the relative relevance of the information with the current condition. A weighted graph is used to determine the relevance.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system for transferring clinical medical data between healthcare institutions. The system includes a first electronic medical record system configured to maintain electronic medical records for a patient at a first healthcare institution and an integrated web browser configured to allow a patient at the first healthcare institution to connect to a web-based portal page of a second electronic medical record system at a second healthcare institution through the first electronic medical record system, wherein the web-based portal page is configured to provide information from the second electronic medical record system to be displayed through the integrated web browser. The system further includes a medical record parser configured to parse the displayed information for storage in the first electronic medical record system.

Abstract: A medical charge router receives charge information from a variety of sources and converts it to a standard charge format for automated processing and routing to one of multiple billing programs.

Abstract: In a system for distributed computing in a health care environment in which multiple different applications are in use connected on a common computer network, the improvement comprising at least one clinical exchange server on the network, the clinical exchange server including memory, the clinical exchange server programmed to perform the steps of (i) maintaining a separate patient record for each of a plurality of patients wherein each patient record includes an event registry including separate event data subsets for each event recorded by any of the different applications where each event data subset indicates the application that recorded the event and event summary data wherein the event summary data is less than all of the data recorded by the application that recorded the event, (ii) receiving a first query from the first application for patient information associated with a first patient where the first query includes information usable to identify an event in the event registry, (iii) using the info

Abstract: A computerized system allows intercommunication of patients with respect to the treatment of their diseases. This system includes an electronic medical record database providing electronic medical records of a given set of patients as developed by healthcare professionals and linked to an anonymous identifier for each patient and a set of terminal devices accessible to the patients allowing for the electronic exchange of information through a display and data input device.

Abstract: An electronic medical record employs a hybrid search engine which can perform structured queries for comprehensive search results and text searches for rapid identification of relevant information. A standard structured database of medical data is rendered accessible to text searches by generating pseudo-documents from the database that can then be subjected to standard information retrieval pre-processing.

In the method, an active topic is defined as a first topic in response to execution of an application. The first topic includes first text defining a plurality of phrases, a probability of occurrence associated with each of the plurality of phrases, and a response associated with each of the plurality of phrases. Speech text recognized from a recorded audio signal is received. Recognition of the speech text is based at least partially on the probability of occurrence associated with each of the plurality of phrases of the first topic. A phrase of the plurality of phrases associated with the received speech text is identified. The response associated with the identified phrase is performed by the computing device.
