Abstract: A method for protecting data stored in a data repository. The method includes verifying authenticity of a user at each of a plurality of levels. Furthermore, the method includes directing the user to one of a first path or a second path based on the verification of the authenticity of the user at each of the plurality of levels. Systems and computer-readable medium that afford functionality of the type defined by this method are also contemplated.

Abstract: A method and system for facilitating automated navigation in a healthcare facility. The navigation system comprises: a healthcare information system configured to have access to at least patient information, healthcare resource information and healthcare facility information; and an identification device provided to a patient in the healthcare facility, configured to communicate at least the current location of the patient to the hospital information system. The identification device and the healthcare information system interact with each other for generating and providing at least navigation information to the patient.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of deriving probability of a medical condition is provided. The method comprises obtaining a first medical data corresponding to a first medical subject from at least one medical information system, obtaining a second medical data corresponding to the first medical subject from an electronic data system, selecting at least one second medical subject with a second medical data substantially same as the second medical data of the first medical subject, obtaining medical condition data for the second medical subject, wherein the medical condition data includes data corresponding to a medical condition, correlating the first medical data with the medical condition data and deriving probability of the medical condition in the first medical subject based upon the first medical data and the medical condition data.

Abstract: Certain embodiments provide systems and methods for remote patient registration. A method includes configuring a kiosk in response to a user language selection; gathering data, including biometric data, from a user at the kiosk; comparing gathered data with stored patient data; and generating identification output for the user. A remote patient registration kiosk system includes keys and indicators arranged for actuation by a user. One or more of the keys and indicators is capable of being programmed to represent and to visually indicate a predetermined data or function in response to a language selection. A processor coupled to the keys and indicators programs the keys and indicators and accepts user input through actuation of the keys and indicators to register a patient based on input received from user actuation of the plurality of keys and indicators. An identification output is generated for the user in response to patient registration.

Abstract: A method of automatically scoring intravascular calcium. The delineation of a body surface is detected in a tomographic image produced by an X-ray CT system. Images of bones are removed from a field encircled with the delineation of the body surface. The delineations of blood vessels are detected in the tomographic image having the bone images removed therefrom. Calcium is scored using the tomographic image having the bone images removed therefrom. Only the scores of intravascular calcium obtained from the fields inside the delineations of the blood vessels are displayed.
