  • Patent number: 8543413
    Abstract: Electronic to-do lists are provided in a computerized healthcare environment for managing and documenting events during clinical care processes. A to-do list includes events that may need to be completed and, in some cases, documented during a clinical care process. The to-do list may be generated in response to a selection of a to-do macro including data associated with a number of clinical events that need to be completed during the clinical care process. As events are completed by clinicians during the process, the to-do list may be used to document the completion of the event. As such, clinicians may readily identify events that have been performed, as well as events that have yet to be performed. In some cases, a clinical event in a to-do list may include associated details, which may be used to populate information in an electronic record when the clinical event is indicated as completed.

  • Publication number: 20080010592
    Abstract: A method for use in a computer system is provided that links a patient with patient-related data that is displayed on a graphical user interface. The method includes first determining if a digital watermark is required. If a digital watermark is required, the current background color for the display of patient-related data is obtained, along with an intensity value. The subject matter for the watermark is also obtained. The color of the digital watermark is calculated, based upon the obtained background color and intensity value. The digital watermark is then rendered on the display.

As events are completed by clinicians during the process, the to-do list may be used to document the completion of the event. As such, clinicians may readily identify events that have been performed, as well as events that have yet to be performed. A to-do list may include timer functionality for timing events in the to-do list. Additionally, a to-do list may include reminder/alert functionality allowing clinicians to set reminders/alerts for events in the to-do list.

  • Publication number: 20050149361
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for the preemptive determination of the potential of atypical clinical event occurrence related to administering of medications to a person. One method involves receiving a list of possible medications that may be administered to the person during a medical procedure. Subsequently, the medication list is compared to information in the person's medical record. Based on this comparison, a determination is made as to whether one or more matches exist between any of the medications included in the list and the medical record information, the match relating to the potential of an atypical clinical event occurring if the associated medication were to be administered to the person. If a match in fact exists, a response is outputted relating to each match.
