    Abstract: A case-centric medical records system with social networking capabilities is disclosed. Using the system, users can build charts that are centered around a single procedure or treatment and include physician notes as well as imagery and video relating to the procedure. Users can also build social networks around their records by identifying colleagues with whom chart data can be shared.

  • Patent number: 6148297
    Abstract: An interactive system and method includes at least two subsystems: one for providing exposure and incident information to a healthcare worker and another for collecting exposure and incident data at a healthcare facility in a confidential manner. The system includes input/output devices and a processor for accessing and displaying information on a desired healthcare topic and for collecting, via a series of interactive screens, accident data for subsequent collation within a facility and/or on a multifacility scale, such as for regulatory compliance. Data collection is preferably done in a confidential manner, and a report is generated that includes a risk assessment and recommended followup procedures. The input/output devices are preferably located in close proximity to an area having a relatively high likelihood of exposures or incidents, for permitting the user ready access to desired information.
