Abstract: A user interface system reduces the number of user interactions required in order data entry by providing data representing a candidate order for provision of an item or services including user modifiable values of a set of related attributes and provides further candidate alternatives in response to user selection of an attribute value and other heuristics. A user interface system enabling user selection of related order parameters identifying an order for providing an item incorporates a repository including information identifying candidate items for order and associated corresponding related order parameters. An individual item for order is associated with multiple related order parameters. A user interface processor provides data representing a display image identifying an initial complete candidate order including multiple related order parameters, in response to user entry of order associated data.

Abstract: Improvements in mining information from patient records and/or use of such mined information are provided. A scheduled appointment is identified. In response, the patient record is mined to identify any possible lack of adherence. A form requiring authorization and including a clinical action or prescription is generated to address, at least in part, the lack of adherence. Contact with a patient is initiated by a processor, at least in part, in response to a lack of adherence. A request for documentation is generated in response to mining indicating an inadequate probability of adherence to a guideline. During real-time, additional information to be obtained which may alter a probability is suggested.
