Abstract: An improved patient check-in system for healthcare appointments is disclosed herein. Prior to a datetime of a healthcare appointment of a patient, an electronic health records application (EHR) receives a first message originating from a patient computing device of the patient. The first message includes a location of the patient and patient information for the patient. Responsive to receiving the first message, the EHR stores the patient information in a cache. The EHR also places a placeholder for the patient in a queue that indicates an order in which healthcare appointments for patients at the healthcare facility are to occur. Subsequently, the EHR receives a second message generated by the patient computing device indicating that the patient has arrived at the healthcare facility for the healthcare appointment. The EHR transfers the patient information from the cache to a data store accessible to the EHR.

Abstract: In data storage systems, pooled storage resources may be organized into logical disk groups. Adding an additional disk group to such data storage systems requires identifying a suitable disk group from numerous candidates that may be available to the data storage system via a network. Embodiments identify IHSs (Information Handling Systems), such as rack-mounted servers installed within a data center, that include available disk groups. The servers with available disk groups are classified based on various trust parameters, such as their security settings and their hardware and software configurations. Based on the number of trust parameters with which the servers are classified, the servers are ranked, thus indicating their suitability for providing trusted disk groups to the storage system. Available disk groups from the top ranked server may be designated for use by the storage system.

Abstract: In vSAN (virtual Storage Area Network) systems, pooled storage resources may be organized into logical disk groups. One drive of a disk group may be designated for caching storage operations directed at the remaining drives of the disk group that provide permanent storage. Each cache drive is partitioned into an allocation for read operations and an allocation for write operations. Embodiments provide the vSAN system with use of virtual cache that is backed by the cache drives of each disk group in the vSAN system. Embodiments adjust the cache memory allocations for individual cache drives of each disk group, while utilizing the virtual cache that adheres to a fixed cache allocation ratio required by the vSAN system. The number and type of cache misses by each of the individual cache drives is monitored and used to adjust the sizes of the read and write cache allocations in each cache drive.

Abstract: A server EHR executing on a server computing device is in communication with a client EHR executing on a first client computing device, and receives a prescription authorization from the client EHR, the prescription authorization based on input received from an authorized clinician user of the client EHR during performance of a clinical subtask of a prescription ordering task. The server EHR assigns a non-clinical subtask of the prescription ordering task to a non-clinician user operating a client application executing on a second client computing device. The non-clinician user provides input to the client application that pertains to completion of the non-clinical subtask. The client application transmits prescription ordering data to the server EHR, whereupon the server EHR outputs a prescription order to a second server computing device associated with a pharmacy indicated in the prescription ordering data.
