Abstract: Medical professionals diagnose conditions and prescribe treatments or tests based on a process called a clinical pathway. The criteria within the pathway are largely memory-based. The system here manages the process and allows the physician or other health care professional to focus on decision making and patient care using clinical pathways programmed as spheres in a network connected by business rules.

Abstract: A plant container in which full-color information useful to a retailer and consumer is printed over an area on the pot. The pot may be used to both grow and sell the live plant; alternatively, the pot may be used as a pot cover. The container is made of a durable material, and the printed area includes a plurality of colors to provide an attractive full-color display. A four-color printing process may be used. The printed area may include sufficient information to allow sale by a retailer without additional information and labels. The container can provide advantages such as: 1) a consumer can efficiently and immediately access useful information; 2) information is implemented onto the container itself, and therefore cannot get lost or separated; 3) a manufacturer, distributor, and dealer avoids labeling costs; and 4) a pleasing appearance is presented to customers.
