Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing acute incident risks for dementia patients are provided. Benefits of the systems and methods include reducing healthcare costs, improving patient and caregiver outcomes and reducing caregiver burden. A server system analyzes data related to a dementia patient and the corresponding caregivers (e.g., family member, paid caregiver, physician) and calculates an acute incident risk. Based on the acute incident risk, the server system determines patient therapies to reduce the acute incident risk and also identifies caregiver education to improve the caregiver belief state, which reduces the acute incident risk. The system periodically re-calculates the acute incident risk and identifies patient therapies and caregiver education and motivation to further reduce or maintain the acute incident risk.

Abstract: Medical image based collaboration system and methods are provided. A collaboration server 40 creates a medical image based case in response to a request from a requesting system 10 and populates the case with the minimum required information comprising at least a digital medical image and a case number. The collaboration server 40 provides the medical image based case to a consulting system 30 and receives analysis information in response. The collaboration server 40 stores the analysis information in association with the medical image based case and provides the analysis information to the consulting system 30 to complete the medical image based collaboration.

Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking a slide comprising a tissue sample. In an embodiment, data is received from a Laboratory Information System (LIS) barcode associated with a slide and a proprietary barcode generated by a slide staining system, such as a Ventana slide staining system, to track the slide through the staining process. A new label is printed that contains both the LIS barcode and the proprietary barcode, and is attached to the slide. When the slide is subsequently scanned by a slide scanning system, the slide scanning system reads and decodes the LIS barcode to obtain a LIS barcode value. The LIS barcode value may then be used to retrieve information associated with the slide.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and viewing three dimensional digital slides are provided. One or more microscope slides are positioned in an image acquisition device that scans the specimens on the slides and makes two dimensional images at a medium or high resolution. These two dimensional digital slide images are provided to an image viewing workstation where they are viewed by an operator who pans and zooms the two dimensional image and selects an area of interest for scanning at multiple depth levels (Z-planes). The image acquisition device receives a set of parameters for the multiple depth level scan, including a location and a depth. The image acquisition device then scans the specimen at the location in a series of Z-plane images, where each Z-plane image corresponds to a depth level portion of the specimen within the depth parameter.
