Abstract: Systems and methods for surfacing contextually relevant data into the workflow of a third party system are discussed herein. The system implements a near-real-time method of detecting activity corresponding to particular electronic health records associated with particular patients in third-party systems using specifically configured software systems. A cloud-based micro-services architecture is communicably coupled to the third-party systems and is operable to transmit contextually relevant data to the third-party system in response to particular detected activities, such as accessing a patient's electronic health record. The contextually-relevant data is identified by comparing electronic health record data from various third-party systems, each third-party system associated with the particular patient, to determine gaps in the records. The contextually relevant data is transmitted to the third-party system and visually integrated into the third-party system's pre-existing clinical workflow.

Abstract: An electrosurgical device that comprises a deployable electrode tip and concurrent smoke evacuation and suction control integrated in a single apparatus. An electrode tip is supported for motion so that when a selected button is pressed, the tip extends past a suction tube and is activated for cutting and/or coagulating tissue. In this configuration, the suction tube is in a useful position to evacuate surgical site smoke. When pressure on the selected button is released, the tip moves into a retracted position and is deactivated. This allows for the suction tube to evacuate any remaining smoke and suction fluid/solid debris at the surgical site. Optional suction tube sizes and configurations with a control valve for finger-modulated suction can be exchangeable as per surgical demands. This device would allow surgeons to smoothly transition from surgical dissection with smoke evacuation to fluid and debris suctioning to optimize the surgical process.
