Abstract: A system integrates drug cumulative dosage monitoring, clinical information storage and workflow providing clinical notifications and worklists. The system monitors patient cumulative medication intake and includes at least one repository of information identifying medications and associated cumulative dosage limits for different time periods and for different types of patient. A monitoring processor, in response to a detected administration event indicating an additional dosage of a particular medication is to be administered to a particular patient, automatically determines whether a cumulative dosage, including the additional dosage, of the particular medication of the particular patient exceeds a cumulative dosage limit over a time period using information derived from the at least one repository.

Abstract: A system uses clinical data to help identify incorrect demographic information (such as gender or age) of a patient that may cause an erroneous critical or abnormal indication in medical tests and uses results of a clinical test to indicate possible demographic errors and various methods to modify a workflow to incorporate alternative tasks or to request verification of specific demographic facts. A system for validating patient medical information includes an input processor for receiving a laboratory test result value of a particular patient. A data processor automatically compares the received laboratory test result value with a predetermined normal value range for a patient having demographic characteristics of the particular patient, and compares the received laboratory test result value with a predetermined normal value range for a patient having different demographic characteristics than the particular patient.

Abstract: A clinical data processing system systematically organizes and analyzes clinically significant information of a patient using a result flag indicating a critical or abnormal result to automate display of a view of clinical data in various contexts including diagnosis, insurance, medical complaint assessment and others to improve patient care. A system for use in processing patient clinical data for access by a user includes a repository associating an observation with a clinical significance indicator and with data indicating observations relevant to evaluation of the observation having the associated clinical significance indicator. A clinical data processor uses the repository fork automatically providing data for display in response to receiving data representing an input observation and an associated clinical significance indicator. The data for display supports a user in making a patient assessment and includes the input observation and associated relevant clinical data item,s.

Abstract: A system employs a prediction processor for predicting demand for a graph and in response to receiving an individual new clinical result, observation or other information, updates associated graphs as a background process to provide a graph with reduced response time upon user request. A medical data graphing system includes a repository for storing patient medical data and an acquisition processor. The acquisition processor acquires medical data concerning a particular patient and stores the acquired patient medical data in the repository. A data processor processes the acquired patient medical data derived from the repository to provide graph representative data for storage in a repository, in response to predetermined configuration information indicating a graph is to be pre-stored for the acquired data. A user interface processor provides data representing a display image including a pre-stored graph in response to user command.

Abstract: A system for use in processing clinical data includes an input processor for receiving user identification information. A display generator initiates generation of data representing an image for display including, an item of clinical data of a particular patient and an image element enabling a user to enter data identifying a clinical significance ranking of the item of clinical data. A data processor associates the user with an entered clinical significance ranking of the item of clinical data and with the clinical data item. A storage processor stores, in a repository, information indicating the entered clinical significance ranking of the item of clinical data and the associated clinical data item and user.

Abstract: An adaptive communication system supports communication between Internet and non-Internet compatible executable applications. The adaptive communication system includes a universal resource locator (URL) processor and a communication processor. The URL processor generates a URL incorporating, in a URL data field, information derived from a non-Internet compatible executable application. The communication processor initiates Internet compatible communication and conveys the information derived from the non-Internet compatible executable application in the URL data field to an Internet compatible executable application.
