Patent number: 10498850Abstract: Systems and techniques for provisioning context sharing artifacts between applications are presented. For example, as compared to conventional context sharing methods for sharing context information between two applications, the present innovations provide for eliminating the need for a Clinical Context Object Workgroup (CCOW) context manager. Modern applications are typically written in “zero-footprint” web technologies (pure HTML/JS/CSS) to avoid the need to install anything on users' computers. The only thing users have to have in order to access the application is a modern web browser. To synchronize context between two such web applications, a communication channel is required; but for security reasons the browser runs all applications in “sandboxed” mode which prevents the applications from communicating directly with the other browser applications or anything else on the local computer.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2016Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventor: Sten Herlitz

Publication number: 20180181720Abstract: Certain examples provide systems and methods to assign clinical goals, care plans, and/or care pathways. An example system includes a rule engine including a particularly programmed processor to process ingested clinical data for a patient with respect to a goal, identify a rule applicable to the clinical data and goal for the patient, and apply the rule to the clinical data to generate at least one of an action or a suggestion for the patient based on applying the rule to the clinical data, the at least one of an action or a suggestion applicable to a care plan for the patient to achieve the goal. The example system also includes a rule repository storing rules and associated information for access by the rule engine.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2017Publication date: June 28, 2018Inventors: Michelle Ensey, Simeon Schwartz, Art L.

Patent number: 8977572Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for managing medical information. Certain embodiments provide a system for managing medical information. The system includes a data center for centrally storing patient medical data as unstructured encrypted data. The system also includes a patient interface providing storage and retrieval of patient medical data at the data center. The patient interface communicates with the data center to transmit encrypted patient medical data to the data center. The encrypted patient medical data is encrypted at the patient interface using a patient encryption key assigned to a patient. The patient interface is further configured to receive encrypted patient medical data from the data center and decrypt the patient medical data using the patient encryption key assigned to the patient.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2008Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventor: Sten Herlitz
