  • Publication number: 20240347195
    Abstract: A method for filtered, real-time referral searches includes receiving, by an analysis engine, during a patient interaction between a patient and an operator, an identification of a clinical need. The analysis engine analyzes the identification of the clinical need and data associated with the patient to determine at least one patient requirement. The analysis engine identifies a plurality of medical providers as potential referrals for the patient. The analysis engine generates a question to ask the patient and modifies a user interface displayed to the operator, during the patient interaction, to include the generated question. The analysis engine receives input responsive to the generated question. The analysis engine accesses at least one state machine to filter the plurality of medical providers. The analysis engine modifies, during the patient interaction, the user interface, resulting in a display of an identification of each medical provider in the filtered set of medical providers.

  • Publication number: 20220037003
    Abstract: A method for real-time, interactive development and testing of workflows for patient care access and selection may include receiving, by a guided workflow builder user interface (UI) engine, user input including a selection of at least one user interface element, the selected user interface element representing a step in a workflow and associated with at least one state. The guided workflow builder UI engine generates a file including pseudocode providing at least one configuration instruction for configuring the workflow to include the step and transmits the generated file to a parser. The parser parses the generated file and converts the at least one configuration instruction into a state chart including at least one state machine associated with at least one instruction for providing functionality during execution of the workflow. The previewer user interface executes the state chart generated by the parser and displaying an output of executing the state chart.

  • Patent number: 5819918
    Abstract: A resilient filament retaining package includes a plurality of panel members foldably connected to each other along transverse sides thereof and arranged to fold upon each other to form a plurality of superposed compartments defined between pairs of adjacent panel members. Each compartment is dimensioned to contain at least one flexible resilient filament portion therein in a coiled configuration. Receiving port apertures are provided in the forward panel member of each compartment and are intended to assist in loading individual filament portions in each compartment. The apertures are in general concentric alignment with each other such that each compartment may be accessed for loading purposes from a front side of the folded retainer package. A backing panel having a needle securing park may be attached to the folded package. A method for loading the package is also disclosed. The package can be particularly useful for retaining surgical sutures.
