  • Patent number: 8265948
    Abstract: Proactive and interactive clinical decision support events are provided. When a clinical decision support event is initiated for a patient, relevant stored clinical information associated with the patient is accessed. A user interface is generated using the stored clinical information. A clinician may interact with the user interface by providing user-provided clinical information that may add to and/or modify the stored clinical information in the user interface. Clinical advice is provided based on the stored clinical information and the user-provided clinical information.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 16, 2007
    Date of Patent: September 11, 2012

  • Patent number: 8160895
    Abstract: User interfaces for proactive and interactive clinical decision support events are provided. When a clinical decision support event is initiated for a patient, relevant stored clinical information associated with the patient is accessed. A user interface is generated using the stored clinical information. A clinician may interact with the user interface by providing user-provided clinical information that may add to and/or modify the stored clinical information in the user interface. Clinical advice is provided via the user interface based on the stored clinical information and the user-provided clinical information.

  • Publication number: 20090150183
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, systems and computer-storage media that provide a link to a clinical decision support event interface are described. Clinical information for a patient is received and compared against one or more rules associated with a clinical decision support even. It is determined whether at least one of the rules associated with the clinical decision support event have been satisfied based on the clinical information. A clinical decision support event user interface is generated for presentation utilizing the clinical information for the patient. The user interface includes at least a portion of the clinical information for the patient and clinical advice based on the clinical information for the patient. A link to the user interface is displayed to a user.

  • Publication number: 20080082358
    Abstract: Proactive and interactive clinical decision support events are triggered based on information provided by a user during other clinical decision support events. User-provided clinical information received during a first clinical decision support event and stored clinical information are compared against rules for initiating clinical decision support events. Based on the comparison, a determination is made that a rule associated with a second clinical decision support event has been satisfied. The second clinical decision support event is initiated by providing a user interface including stored clinical information and/or user-provided information from the first clinical decision support event. Further user-provided clinical information may be received and clinical advise is provided based on the available clinical information.

  • Publication number: 20040172298
    Abstract: The invention overcoming these and other problems in the art relates in one regard to a system and method in a computer system for facilitating the process of providing notice of laboratory result publication. An automated system solution is provided to facilitate the callback process. Laboratory results from a laboratory information system (LIS) database are posted to an electronic medical record (EMR) database either directly or through an interface. The system creates a callback request for each result that needs to be communicated back to the physician. The request may be based on the ordered procedure, the resulted assay, or the actual assay results (and associated assay result flags). In another embodiment of the system, a system and method for automatically managing the handling of callback processes is provided.
