Abstract: Methods and apparatus for reconciling clinical data received from an external source with patient data stored by a practice management system are described. Clinical data received from a source external to a healthcare information management component of the practice management system are evaluated to determine whether the received clinical data includes trusted source data. The determination is made based, at least in part, on at least one trusted source rule stored by the practice management system. The trusted source data is automatically reconciled with the patient data stored by the practice management system by performing a reconciliation action based on the at least one trusted source rule stored by the practice management system.

Abstract: There is provided a floor sign having a ratchet positionable hinge and replaceable signage. The hinge operates by frictionally engaging one side of the hinge integral with one panel and engaging the opposite side of the hinge, which is integral with the other panel, by means of a ratchet mechanism. This mechanism is arranged to be slideably disengaged by shifting the axial member of the hinge. Selected signage is attachable by magnetic adhesive, or hook/loop (Velcro) methods.

Abstract: There is provided a collapsible barrel-shaped barricade which telescopes within itself for compact storage. Particularly, a solid and heavy base is provided for stability and a series of telescoping ring members are mounted thereon; the lowest ring being mounted to the base and upper rings being concentric with the lower ring. The concentric rings are arranged to interlock by placement of a tab from an inner ring into a horizontal slot on the inside of an outer ring. This interlock operates to hold the rings in an extended position when the barricade is in use.

Abstract: There is provided a modular barricade which is composed of a plurality of interchangeable parts. A standardized section is used to form the frame mounting, and extensible crossbar is mounted to adjust the barricade to a variety of widths.
