  • System and method for creating and displaying optional order sets in healthcare environment
    Patent number: 8924224
    Abstract: A method, system and computerized medium in a computerized environment for placing optional orders for an order set for a patient is provided. A request to display an order set for a patient is received. The order set comprises one or more optional orders. The optional orders that may or may not be placed for the order set. The optional orders are determined and the optional orders are displayed. A selection of one or more of the optional orders to be placed for the order set is received and the selected optional orders are placed for the order set.

  • Computerized system and method for building a system of test components for a healthcare orderable procedure
    Patent number: 8001097
    Abstract: A computerized system and method of building a system of test components for an orderable healthcare procedure is provided. An orderable healthcare procedure is received and associated with a discrete ontology concept. An ontology is traversed for the discrete ontology concept to identify test components related to the discrete ontology concept. The test components related to the discrete ontology concept are identified.

  • Automated identification of genetic test result duplication
    Patent number: 7957914
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for determining whether an ordered genetic test will duplicate at least one existing genetic test result. The method includes receiving an ordered genetic test that is for a particular genetic sequence or variant thereof for an individual. The method further includes determining whether the individual has at least one existing genetic test result for the particular genetic sequence or variant thereof. Upon determining that the individual has at least one existing genetic test result for the particular genetic sequence or variant thereof, a notification of the existence of the at least one existing genetic test result is provided.

  • Computerized method and system for automated correlation of genetic test results
    Patent number: 7729865
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for automated correlation of genetic test results. The method includes: receiving a first genetic test result from an individual's genetic history and receiving a second genetic test result for the individual. The method further includes determining based on result criteria if the second genetic test result should be identified as the primary genetic test result for the individual and, if so, identifying said second genetic test result as the primary genetic test result in the individual's genetic history.
