  • Patent number: 8589185
    Abstract: Document of medication administration is provided by a clinician acknowledging previous clinical results such that the previous clinical results are used for documentation purposes. A command is received to document the administration of a medication to patient. Based on the command, it is determined that documentation of the medication administration requires entry of information regarding at least one clinical result for the patient. Additionally, it is determined that a previous clinical result is available for documentation. The medication administration is then documented using the previous clinical result.

  • Patent number: 8355924
    Abstract: Management of patient activities for a clinician is described herein. A patient activity list provides a common view of activities for patients assigned to a clinician for a given time period, such as a shift. The patient activity list provides a simplified view with critical indicators providing critical patient information. Patient activities may include ad hoc activities and scheduled activities presented in a timeline view based on the scheduled time period for each respective activity. Only activities relevant to the clinicians role are included and each activity is represented as a graphical icon representative of the type of activity. The patient activity list is fully navigable to allow the clinician to access further information and complete activities within context of the clinician's activities.

  • Patent number: 8050946
    Abstract: A clinical activity navigator facilitates documentation of multiple clinical activities. When a plurality of clinical activities are selected for document, an activity navigator user interface may be presented that includes an indication for each of the clinical activities. The indication for each clinical activity includes a link to documentation for the corresponding clinical activity. A user selection of an indication for one of the clinical activities is received via the activity navigator user interface. In response to the user selection, a documentation user interface for that clinical activity is presented that allows entry of information associated with that clinical activity.

  • Publication number: 20080086333
    Abstract: Management of patient activities for a clinician is provided including documenting administration of a medication to a patient. A timeline view area is presented showing clinical activities to be performed by a clinician for patients assigned to the clinician. The clinical activities include at least one medication administration activity. Activity details for the medication administration activity are presented adjacent the timeline view area. In response to receiving a user command to document completion of the medication administration activity, an activity view medication administration record is presented comprising an indication of times the medication is administered to the patient. The clinician may document completion of the medication administration activity from this view allowing the clinician to document in context of pertinent information.

  • Publication number: 20080086329
    Abstract: Clinical activity management is provided by a patient activity list that allows rescheduling of clinical activities in context. A timeline view is presented including one or more scheduled clinical activities for at least one patient assigned to the clinician.
