Abstract: Example systems and methods provide anatomy map-based navigation and review of current and historical images and associated evidence. A method for navigating current and reference images and associated evidence includes loading a current image and a reference image for review via a navigator interface based on a time entry selection by a user. One or more markers indicating clinical findings or evidence are registered with at least one of the current image and the reference image. The one or more markers are displayed in conjunction with the current image and the reference image. A synopsis of information associated with a selected marker is provided upon selection of the marker by a user. A user can navigate through image and marker data over time by selecting each of a plurality of time entries to display images and associated markers for user review.

Abstract: Certain examples provide collaboration systems, apparatus, and methods to facilitate display, review, and annotation of image data on a small display. An example method includes determining an initial display resolution by comparing an image dimension at an image display resolution and an available screen dimension of the reduced size display screen. The example method includes, based on a selected region of interest in an image, displaying the selected region of interest at the initial display resolution. The example method includes, using the selected region of interest, displaying image data in the selected region of interest to set a plurality of data points via user interaction with a touchscreen display. The example method includes computing a potential error introduced for a measurement between the plurality of data points based on a tolerance value. The example method includes adjusting the image display resolution and zoom based on the potential error.

Abstract: Certain embodiments present a system for navigating medical images of a patient file stored in an image database. An image labeler labels medical images based upon whether the images have previously been displayed on an interface. The system also provides an image search engine that searches the images based on the labels. The image search engine generates a subset of images from a larger group of medical images within a database based upon the labels. The interface includes a graphical meter that corresponds to medical images that have not previously been displayed on the interface. The graphical meter may enumerate the quantity of images that have not previously been displayed. The graphical meter may also illustrate the proportion of images that have not previously been displayed. The graphical meter may include a hyperlink that points to an image that has not previously been displayed.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for mobile access to clinical information. Certain embodiments provide a mobile medical computing device system. The system includes a mobile medical computing device providing for display of, interaction with, and manipulation of medical images and patient data, the mobile medical computing device in communication with a clinical information system to exchange clinical content related to the medical images and patient data.

Abstract: Certain examples provide systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods for medical device interface overlay. In an example, an article of manufacture includes an overlay for a clinical device touchscreen interface. The overlay includes a background surface formed to contact a touchscreen interface. The overlay also includes a plurality of touch areas formed in the background surface of the overlay device. Each of the plurality of touch areas is to provide a tactile boundary for a corresponding touchscreen interface function. The plurality of touch areas includes at least one of a plurality of openings and a plurality of recessed areas including a material thickness less than the material thickness of the background surface. The plurality of openings and the plurality of recessed areas allow user contact and interaction with the user interface underneath the overlay.

Abstract: An example operation metrics collection and processing system is to mine a data set including patient and exam workflow data from information source(s) according to an operational metric for a workflow of interest. The method includes mining a data set for information related to one or more healthcare operational metrics; displaying information regarding one or more scheduled procedures and associated equipment involving one or more selected patients; accepting an input of one or more conditions to affect interpretation of the information; determining a completion time for an event associated with one of the one or more scheduled procedures; evaluating a delay associated with the event with respect to the input of one or more conditions; calculating at least one healthcare operational metric based on the completion time, the delay, and the input; and outputting the at least one healthcare operational metric for display and analysis.

Abstract: Example systems and methods provide navigation and review of images within a large data set via a handheld or other mobile device. A computer-implemented method includes providing a clinical data set divided into a plurality of portions. Each portion is associated with a graphical representation and includes a plurality of sub-portions. The graphical representation for each portion is displayed to a user such that the plurality of portions can be viewed on a user interface of the device. User navigation is facilitated at various levels of granularity among the plurality of portions via the user interface. User access is allowed to one or more sub-portions within a portion to locate an item of clinical data within a sub-portion. User selection of an item of clinical data within a sub-portion is enabled for viewing via the user interface. A selected item of clinical data is loaded for viewing via the user interface.
