  • Patent number: 8145506
    Abstract: A patient problem data system stores data representing a plurality of different patient problems for use in providing healthcare to a patient. An acquisition processor acquires data representing a patient problem for storage in a repository. A repository, electrically coupled to the acquisition processor, includes data representing a plurality of different patient problems; an individual patient problem has a patient problem name and is characterized by patient problem attributes; an individual patient problem has a plurality of attribute properties determining how a patient problem attribute is represented. Patient problem attributes include a focus term indicating a topic of a patient problem, a patient problem likelihood term indicating an assessment of likelihood of the associated corresponding patient problem, and a client term indicating at least one target person for care.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 2009
    Date of Patent: March 27, 2012
    Assignee: Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.

  • Patent number: 8121860
    Abstract: An expected outcome data system stores data representing a plurality of different expected outcomes of patient care and treatment for use in providing healthcare to a patient. An acquisition processor acquires data representing an expected outcome of treatment associated with a medical problem for storage in a repository. A repository, electrically coupled to the acquisition processor, includes data representing a plurality of different expected outcomes; an individual expected outcome has an expected outcome name and is characterized by expected outcome attributes; an individual expected outcome has a plurality of attribute properties determining how an expected outcome attribute is represented. Expected outcome attributes include a focus term indicating a topic of an expected outcome, an expected outcome likelihood term indicating an assessment of likelihood of the associated corresponding expected outcome, and a client term indicating at least one target person for care.

  • Publication number: 20090276246
    Abstract: A processing device implemented system supports providing a plan of care for a patient. A repository includes data representing a plurality of different patient problems and including data representing an individual plan of care, indicating care to be provided to a specific patient, associated with a patient problem, an expected outcome, clinical observations, and orders for treatment to be administered to a patient. A data processor searches data in the repository to identify one or more candidate plans of care associated with a particular patient problem in response to user entry of data identifying the particular patient problem by searching data in the repository for a code associated with the particular patient problem. A display processor generates data representing at least one display image including data representing the one or more candidate plans of care associated with the particular patient problem enabling a user to select a particular plan of care for a particular patient.
