Abstract: A method of formulating a medical order for a patient includes transmitting a medical order interface to a healthcare provider interface device. The medical order interface includes a plurality of selectable medical order items. The method further includes, in response to receiving a selection of a medical order item of the plurality of selectable medical order items, transmitting an authorization request interface to the healthcare provider interface device. The authorization request interface includes a set of selectable findings controls. Each selectable findings control of the set of selectable findings controls is associated with a set of medical findings associated with the patient. The authorization request interface includes a send control. In addition, the method includes, in response to receiving a selection of a select findings control and receiving selection of the send control, sending an electronic authorization request.

Abstract: In one particular embodiment, the disclosure is directed to method of providing a workflow interface. The method includes receiving template data associated with a medical workflow step, receiving automated decision support data associated with the medical workflow step, integrating the template data and the automated decision support data into an interface page associated with the medical workflow step, and initiating presentation of the interface page on a display of an electronic device.

Abstract: A method of establishing an order includes receiving discrete medical findings data associated with a patient, receiving order data associated with the patient, receiving findings selection data indicative of at least a portion of the discrete medical findings data, and communicating the order data and select findings data to a separate service provider. The select findings data include at least the portion of the discrete medical findings data. In addition, a computer readable media may include computer-implemented instructions for performing such a method.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a computer-implemented method of generating a prescription refill. The method includes providing a patient interactive interface, receiving a prescription refill request via the patient interactive interface, initiating a refill authorization request associated with the prescription refill request, and receiving a refill authorization.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a computer sever including a processor, communication circuitry accessible to the processor and configured to communicate with a data network and computer readable memory accessible to the processor. The computer readable memory includes computer implemented instructions operable by the processor to provide a medical data interface to a first remote device via the data network and computer implemented instructions operable by the processor to establish a packet-based voice communication link between the first remote device and a second remote device.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a method of facilitating a medical workflow. The method includes receiving patient data via a first user interface device; providing a first medical data entry interface to a second user interface device; and providing a second medical data entry interface to the second user interface device in response to the selection of one selectable item of at least two selectable items. The first medical data entry interface includes at least a portion of the patient data and at least two selectable items. Each selectable item of the at least two selectable items is associated with a different stage within the medical workflow. The second medical data entry interface is configured to receive data associated with the stage within the medical workflow associated with the one selected selectable item.

The system further includes a healthcare provider system communicatively coupled to the disease management advisor system and configured to receive the disease management algorithm from the disease management advisor system. The system also includes a conversion module accessible to the healthcare provider system and configured to convert the disease management algorithm based on a controlled medical vocabulary.

Abstract: In one particular embodiment, the disclosure is directed to a system that includes a processor, a database accessible to the processor, and storage media. The database includes a relationship table identifying a relationship of at least one pair of medical findings. The storage media stores instructions operable to direct the processor to retrieve the relationship of the at least one pair of medical findings and instructions operable to direct the processor to generate graphical user interface data based on the relationship.

Abstract: In one particular embodiment, the disclosure is directed to method of providing a workflow interface. The method includes receiving template data associated with a medical workflow step, receiving automated decision support data associated with the medical workflow step, integrating the template data and the automated decision support data into an interface page associated with the medical workflow step, and initiating presentation of the interface page on a display of an electronic device.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a computer generated user interface screen associated with a patient. The user interface screen includes an interface form component associated with a patient condition and a contextual link associated with available contextual data.
