Abstract: A system provides an overview of patient medical condition identifying both long term and short term medical conditions. The system includes a designation processor for designating an identified patient medical condition as being long term in response to user command. At least one repository stores information associating a designated long term patient medical condition with a patient and with multiple encounter identifiers identifying corresponding interactions of the patient with a healthcare provider organization and medical conditions associated with the encounters. A user interface initiates generation of data representing a composite display image window including data identifying a designated long term patient medical condition together with encounters and medical conditions associated with the encounters providing a user an overview of long term and short term medical conditions of a patient.

Abstract: A system provides an overview of patient medical condition by automatically converting a financial diagnosis description of a medical condition, into clinical terminology and associating a clinical diagnosis with a patient in a record that persists the association across multiple patient visits for a lifetime type medical condition. A system provides an overview of patient medical condition identifying both long term and short term medical conditions. The system includes a designation processor for designating an identified patient medical condition as being long term in response to user command. At least one repository stores information associating a designated long term patient medical condition with a patient and with a plurality of encounter identifiers identifying corresponding interactions of the patient with a healthcare provider organization and medical conditions associated with the encounters.

Abstract: A system maps components of prescribed treatments to multiple appointments of a patient, tracks patient progress through a course of treatment by recording results of treatment in a clinical information system and replaces multiple manual processes to improve concurrent monitoring of a treatment plan versus actual results. A system schedules multiple appointments for a course of patient treatment. The system uses an input processor for receiving data identifying, a treatment type, a frequency of application of the treatment, a start date of the treatment and a number of applications of the treatment. An appointment processor determines validity of the received data and uses the validated received data to generate data representing a schedule of multiple appointments for receiving the treatment. An interface processor provides data representing the schedule of multiple appointments to a destination system.

Abstract: A workflow system and user interface coordinates information concerning a course of treatment of a patient, as well as data from a treatment device and links appointment data from a scheduling system with actual treatment activity information in order to show a complete timeline of a course of treatment. A user interface system for presenting medication dosage and treatment information includes a display processor for providing data representing a single display image. The single display image presents information identifying treatment received by a patient and treatment scheduled to be received by the patient together with a timeline. The single display image also presents information identifying cumulative dosage of a medication received by a patient and an associated date the cumulative dosage is received by the patient. A command processor initiates presentation of the single display image in response to user command.

Abstract: A system uses a digital photographic camera attached to a radiation therapy device to create an overlay of radiation beam information comprising data identifying treated patient anatomical region data and supporting determination of cumulative radiation treatment information from multiple treatment overlays. A system records a treatment beam landing area on the anatomical body surface of a patient for use in radiation or other therapy. The system includes an input processor for receiving data representing an image of the surface of a portion of the anatomy of a patient. A data processor provides beam landing position data relative to the image by calculating a position of a treatment beam landing area relative to the image using received input data indicating projection characteristics of a treatment beam used in treating the portion of the anatomy of the patient. A storage processor stores the beam landing position data in a record associated with the patient.

Abstract: A system according to invention principles automatically calculates anatomical feature (e.g., tumor, body part, organ) size electronically to provide a clinician with useful information when assessing the tumor response during treatment. A system for monitoring change in patient anatomical features, includes a volumetric analyzer for automatically analyzing data derived from an imaging unit that represents a three dimensional view of a patient anatomical feature in order to determine spatial characteristics of the anatomical feature. A comparison processor automatically compares a first set of spatial characteristics of a patient anatomical feature derived at a first time with a second set of corresponding spatial characteristics of the patient anatomical feature derived at a subsequent second time, to provide change data representing change in spatial characteristics of the patient anatomical feature over a period of time. A repository stores change data for access by a user.

Abstract: A system provides a comprehensive overview of patient health problems and treatments over an extended period of time in a graphical representation of diagnostic procedures, sites of disease and interventions. A user interface system for presenting patient medical information, includes at least one medical data repository including medical data identifying treatments previously received by a patient. A display processor initiates generation of data representing a graphical image of at least a portion of human anatomy. The graphical image includes multiple data items identifying the treatments previously received by the patient and corresponding user selectable links to associated treatment medical information in the at least one medical data repository.

Abstract: A system records and documents both external beam radiation therapy and radiation from implanted sources applied to an anatomical area, in a comprehensive consolidated record of radiation treatment that also documents detected radiation emission levels from internal patient sources measured externally to the patient. A system processes data concerning patient radiation treatment. The system includes an input processor for receiving data identifying a first radiation dose received by a particular anatomical part of a patient, from a radiation source external to a patient and a second radiation dose, received by the particular anatomical part of the patient from a radiation source internal to the patient. A data processor combines data representing the first and second dose to provide a combined dose value.
