Publication number: 20240013922Abstract: Methods and systems for providing integrated diagnostic test requisition and clinical decision support are disclosed. A request for diagnostic test information for a patient is received from an electronic medical records (EMR) system. Diagnostic tests appropriate for the patient are determined based on the request, and fields of a user interface for requesting the tests are populated based on test definitions corresponding to each test. Test requisitions are generated and transmitted to a test provider in a test-provider format, and results are received from the test provider and standardized. Courses of action appropriate for the patient are determined and proposed based on the standardized results and biomarker definitions related to the patient's condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: STANDARD MOLECULAR, INC.Inventors: James Mark D'Augustine, Jeffrey Scott Sopko

Patent number: 11858367Abstract: A loading dock safety system integrated with an electric vehicle charging station is disclosed. The system employs an electric vehicle charging station for charging electric vehicles and a safety control device for monitoring and controlling the loading dock safety equipment. The electric vehicle charging station has a charging connector with an electronically controlled latching mechanism to secure the charging connector to the charging port of the electric vehicle. During the process of loading and unloading cargo from the electric vehicle, the charging connector is locked to the charging port, which, in turn, prevents the EV from departing from the loading dock until the transfer of cargo is complete.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Inventor: Carl James Mark Pancutt
