Patent number: 11250956Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided to detect similarities between two or more clinical documents. It is determined that a clinician is currently inputting data into a first clinical document that is associated with a patient. A selectable option is provided on a user interface into which the clinician is currently inputting the data. An indication is received that the selectable option has been selected by the clinician. An algorithm is applied to identify the second clinical document from a plurality of clinical documents. At least a portion of the inputted data in the first clinical document and at least a portion of data in the second clinical document are transformed to generate a new representation of the first clinical document that indicates the similarities that are potentially inaccurate or inappropriate between the first clinical document and the second clinical document.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2014Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: CERNER INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: Christopher S. Finn, Margaret C. Kolm, David J. O'Larte, Steven S. Crooks, Thomas C. Gifford, J D Tyler

Patent number: 11144714Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer storage media are provided for providing real-time analysis and annotation of clinical documents in a distributed system. A clinical transformation session is opened at a clinical transformation server maintaining sessions for one or more editors and agents operating on a clinical document. Sequences of operations on the clinical document are stored at a memory accessible by the server. At least a portion of the clinical document is analyzed in real-time to provide annotations and other document modifications to each of the one or more editors having a session at the server. Parallel annotations or modifications are resolved and a synchronized view of the clinical document is maintained based on operational transformation.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2020Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: CERNER INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: Christopher S. Finn, Steven S. Crooks, David P. McCallie, Jr., Margaret Cushing Kolm, David J. O'Larte

Patent number: 10007407Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided to detect incremental changes in clinical documents associated with a patient. A user selection is received indicating that a user wants to compare two or more clinical documents that are associated with the patient or authored by the same clinician, enabling the user to become up-to-date on the patient's care. A first clinical document and a second clinical document are identified. For the first clinical document and the second clinical document, differences are algorithmically determined. The first clinical document is transformed into a new representation of the first clinical document. Further, the second clinical document is transformed into a new representation of the second clinical document. One or more of the new representations of the first and the second clinical documents are displayed, assisting the user to quickly find and understand the differences between the documents.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2014Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: Cerner Innovation, Inc.Inventors: Thomas C.

Patent number: 9921731Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided to detect similarities in clinical documents that might be inaccurate or inappropriate. A first clinical document and a second clinical document that are to be compared are identified. This identification of the documents is based on times associated with the first and second clinical documents, an identity of clinicians who authored the first and second clinical documents, an identity of patients associated with the first and second clinical documents, a type of the first and second clinical documents, or contents of the first and second clinical documents. The first clinical document is compared to a portion of the second clinical document. A report is automatically generated, where the report indicates the similarities between the portion of the first clinical document and the portion of the second clinical document that are potentially inaccurate or inappropriate.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2014Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Cerner Innovation, Inc.Inventors: Christopher S.

Patent number: 8639520Abstract: A system and method for generating interactive visualizations of clinical relationships is provided. The method includes determining what entities have had some clinical contact with an entity of interest and collecting data regarding each entity and each entity's contacts with the entity of interest. The collected data can be filtered to remove unwanted entities and properties. Algorithms are applied to generate clinical relevance scores, which represent the relationship between the entities and the entity of interest. In addition, each entity is assigned components that allow for some executable behavior when an entity is selected in a display. Finally, the appropriate visualization is selected and a display of the relationships is generated.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2004Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: Cerner Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Christopher S.

Patent number: 8271297Abstract: A computer-implemented method for facilitating placement of health care order entry is provided. The method includes receiving input indicative of a desired healthcare order. The order has certain terms therein that are normalized. The method also finds possible order matches for the normalized terms, and calculates a rough score for the possible order matches. The method refines the rough score with a rough score adjustment, and then ranks the found possible order matches from the most-likely to match the desired order to the least-likely based upon the refined rough score. These possible order matches can then be displayed to the user for selection.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2010Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Cerner Innovation, Inc.Inventors: Steven S.

Patent number: 8112294Abstract: A system and associated methods for orchestrating a collaboration session are disclosed. One method involves orchestrating a collaboration session between a requesting clinician and another clinician where information is exchanged electronically. According to the method, requests for collaboration sessions are received by a computer system from the requesting clinician, with a given request related to a piece of patient-focused clinical data. Each request is analyzed to build a roster of potentially available clinicians for collaboration. A collaboration session is then facilitated between the requesting clinician and one or more of the potentially available clinicians on the roster.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2011Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Cerner Innovation, Inc.Inventors: David P.

Publication number: 20090265185Abstract: Systems and associated methods are disclosed for coordinating health services delivery within a patient population. In certain embodiments, a system and associated methods facilitate the presentation of patient-specific information on a shared site accessible by a group of users. Edits may also be made to the patient-specific information by specific users, so that the group of users can observe the changes and provide additional input. In other embodiments, a system and associated methods are utilized to determine a priority scheme with regard to delivering care to a plurality of patients. The priority scheme is represented by a graphical ranking where patients having a similar ranking are presented proximal to one another and patients having a dissimilar ranking are presented distal to one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2008Publication date: October 22, 2009Applicant: CERNER INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: CHRISTOPHER FINN, DAVID McCALLIE, STEVEN S.
