  • Publication number: 20210391044
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing an interactive healing environment to a patient are provided. Servers in a network may operate a set of modules to communicate with a client device of the patient. The set of modules may operate to enhance communication between the patient and the healthcare providers of patient in the healthcare facility. The modules may also interact with medical devices associated with the patient. The medical devices may be connected to a component, such as a bus, that receives data from the medical devices and determines where the data should be sent.

  • Publication number: 20200026875
    Abstract: A method commences upon receiving a first one of a series of commands corresponding to various operations (e.g., in a test or development setting) that are intended to access protected health information (PHI). Initially, the protected health information is stored in a protected source datastore that is logically represented by source metadata. Rather than copy PHI, the method clones the metadata, leaving the PHI uncopied and unmodified. Execution of a read-only operation over the protected health information is performed by referencing the cloned metadata to access the protected health information. In the event of an occurrence of an operation (e.g., a testing operation), a temporary, ephemeral datastore is formed. Responsive to received write operations pertaining to the protected health information, the data pertaining to the intended write operations are pre-staged into the ephemeral datastore. After use, ephemeral data is overwritten, purged from caches, and then the ephemeral datastore is deleted.

  • Patent number: 8447625
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing technical support sessions to aid clinicians and other end users employing clinical applications are provided. In accordance with one method in a clinical computing environment for requesting a technical support session between a client device and at least one support device, a command to request the technical support session is received. Clinical context information associated with the client device is accessed. A request for the technical support session is communicated. In addition, the clinical context information associated with the client device is communicated.
