  • Patent number: 10521433
    Abstract: A query device for conducting automated user identification using a domain specific query language is described. The domain specific language is a computer language specially adapted for use in the healthcare domain. The domain specific language includes specific syntax suitable to the medical or healthcare industries, and is structured in the form of a string for processing. The domain-specific query is automatically processed and delineated into one or more processing sections. The domain-specific query is specifically structured for improved efficiency through iterative processing of the one or more processing sections, where each of the one or more processing sections is classified and mapped to a specific filter. Each filter represents a programmatic mechanism for automatically conducting a query against one or more backend data storages or other datasets to return a list of users or equipment that meet the criteria of the filter. Corresponding methods, and computer readable media are described.

  • Patent number: 10474646
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods for creating a form for receiving data relating to a health care incident. A dictionary of field objects is provided in a metabase, where a field object defines attributes, and an instance of a field object is a form field. A request to create a user-defined field object is received and it is determined that the user-defined field object is not in the dictionary of field objects in the metabase. The user-defined field object is generated by defining attributes for the user-defined field object, where at least one attribute is a presentation attribute for a form field within a form. The user-defined field object is added to the dictionary of field objects in the metabase and the user-defined field object is linked to a data location in a persistent store.

The user-defined field object is generated by defining attributes for the user-defined field object, where at least one attribute is a presentation attribute for a form field within a form. The user-defined field object is added to the dictionary of field objects in the metabase and the user-defined field object is linked to a data location in a persistent store.
