Abstract: Method and apparatus are described for a system that employs a change management algorithm to drive transfusion “appropriateness” by factoring evidenced-based knowledge and input from practitioners, where said algorithm may also ensure that a blood or blood product transfusion is provided to the right patient, that the blood/blood product is transfused at the right time, and that the procedure is completed for the right reason.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable media are provided that facilitate self-scheduling of medical appointments, particularly specialty referral appointments. In an embodiment, a method can include receiving, by a system comprising a processor, a referral order identifier for a medical referral ordered for a patient. The method can further include determining, by the system, referral order information associated with the referral order in an electronic medical record for the patient based on the referral order identifier, wherein the referral order information identifies a type of medical appointment recommended for the patient. The method can further include, facilitating, by the system, scheduling the type of medical appointment for the patient with a remote medical scheduling system based on the referral order information, and generating, by the system, a graphical user interface that facilities the scheduling of the type of medical appointment.
