Patent number: 11392872Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media are provided for optimizing workflows by monitoring a healthcare environment. Data may be compiled from various sources to monitor interactions within the healthcare environment. Both interactions with individuals and interactions with a healthcare system may be monitored. Each of location data, clinical data, and system data, among others, may be combined to monitor the healthcare environment. By combining the data from various sources, a user is able to get a complete picture of the healthcare environment.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2014Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: CERNER INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: David Compton, James D.

Patent number: 10565352Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing healthcare environments are provided. In embodiments, a real-time status of a clinical device, along with a location, is received. The location of the clinical device is obtained via a clinical device identifier that is tracked by a plurality of sensors in a healthcare environment. A clinical device may be identified as inappropriate for use and an alert presented to a clinician including the problem of the clinical device and the location thereof. A replacement clinical device may be located, using clinical identifiers, and presented to the clinician. Such monitoring and location awareness facilitates efficient responses to healthcare situations.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2013Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Cerner Innovation, Inc.Inventors: James D.

Publication number: 20130110541Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media are provided for managing a social health network. Clinical information of users may be combined and distributed to users themselves or subscribers of users. Users may subscribe to other users in order to receive clinical information regarding one another. Varying levels of access may be assigned to users, clinical information, and the like to determine what information to distribute and to whom it should be distributed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2011Publication date: May 2, 2013Applicant: CERNER INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: JAMES D.

Patent number: 8346572Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing clinical information to clinicians are provided. In embodiments, a patient's electronic health record is accessed to identify that a first clinician has requested a consult with a second clinician. Each clinician is associated with a clinician identifier that is identified by a plurality of sensors. A location for both the first and second clinician is received from the plurality of sensors. A determination is made whether the first and second clinicians are near one another. Upon determining that the first and second clinicians are near one another, a notification is presented to the first clinician. Such tracking of clinician location helps avoid missed opportunities and provides efficient communication among clinicians.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2009Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Cerner Innovation, Inc.Inventors: James D. Eaton, Jr., David L. Compton, Justin Nelson, Paul Cannon, Mark Allen Nolte

Patent number: 8082280Abstract: Computerized methods and systems for professional evaluation and management coding of a patient visit based upon documentation are provided. Such methods and systems increase efficiency and enhance the quality of clinician documentation by permitting automatic coding as a byproduct of documentation and eliminating the necessity for an after-the-fact check of the patient's chart to ensure appropriate documentation. Computerized methods and systems for navigating to a portion of an electronic record, e.g., an electronic medical record, based upon professional evaluation and management coding are also provided, as is the automatic insertion of document content where necessary.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2004Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Cerner Innovation, Inc.Inventors: David L.

Publication number: 20110106559Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for optimizing a clinical experience are provided. Individuals may be approved by a patient to receive notifications of clinical events. The notifications may be accessed from the patient's electronic health record. In embodiments, a location of a clinician associated with a patient and a location of the patient are received. A determination whether the clinician is near the patient is made. Upon determining that the clinician is near the patient, a notification is sent to a non-present party (e.g., a family member) via a mobile device. Such notifications include individuals in the clinical process and avoid missed opportunities for interactions with clinicians.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2009Publication date: May 5, 2011Applicant: CERNER INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: James D.
