Abstract: A User Interface system provides a physician with a user-friendly overview of operational and resource information of a Radiology Information System (RIS) and uses rules and hospital knowledge to find and filter RIS information to provide information facilitating making a particular decision. A radiology resource monitoring system comprises at least one repository including, data identifying scheduled procedures, data identifying room and equipment availability and data identifying clinician availability. A patient tracking unit monitors patient status including progress of patient procedures and patient arrival. An information management processor updates a task schedule of a worker in response to a change in patient status indicated by the tracking unit and in response to data derived from the at least one repository.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention include a system and method for alerting a user of a potential violation of hospital policies or procedures comprising receiving data identifying a patient and identifying a user administering a particular treatment to the patient, acquiring medical record data of the patient, and generating an alert message indicating a potential violation of hospital policies or procedures associated with the administering of the treatment by the user when at least one predetermined condition for generating the alert message has been met.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention relate to a system and method for notifying healthcare personnel including identifying a particular notification recipient, identifying at least one predetermined notification rule for the particular recipient, selecting a device of the recipient to receive a notification message, the device being selected according to the at least one predetermined notification rule, notifying the particular recipient by dispatching the notification message, and optionally tracking the notification message, wherein user determines whether the recipient has received and read the notification message.

Abstract: A system and method for management including steps of defining revenue associated with at least one procedure, monitoring revenue generated by performance of the at least one procedure throughout a plurality of personnel and dynamically assigning at least one of the plurality of personnel based on the monitored revenue. The system and method has use in a healthcare management scenario, for example.

Abstract: A system and method for managing recorded audio information concerning a patient's medical condition including receiving a signal comprising dictated information; processing the signal by parsing data representing the dictated information in the signal and identifying key words in the dictated information and providing data representing a text translation of the dictated information; populating an electronic form compatible with a reporting standard with a data item associated with the identified key word and with the text translation; and initiating generation of data representing a display image, enabling viewing of the populated electronic form and visual confirmation of data contained therein.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention relate to a system and method for ordering medical procedures comprising initiating the generating of data that represents a first display image representing a human body; identifying a region of the human body according to a first command from a user; presenting a second display image comprising at least one medical procedure associated with the identified region of the human body, thereby enabling the user to select at least one medical procedure for order; and initiating ordering of the at least one selected medical procedure, whereby the ordering process is simplified and expedited.

Abstract: A mobile monitoring and communication system integrates communication services (text, voice, video, and data) with medical information (e.g., patient medical record, patient demographics, reason for procedure, workflow information, etc.) within a radiology department, for example. A medical information system for use with portable processing devices involves a portable processing device including a communication processor for receiving messages from one or more different healthcare workers. An individual message identifies, a task for performance by a particular healthcare worker for a patient, patient and task associated context information and a priority level of the task. A user interface provides data representing at least one display image for display to a user and comprising an overview of tasks of the different healthcare workers including the task for performance by the particular healthcare worker.
