  • Publication number: 20080255874
    Abstract: A system and associated methods are disclosed for managing clinical notification delivery and related compliance monitoring. In certain embodiments, the clinical notifications are automatically driven by healthcare information associated with a specific patient, and are delivered to an electronic device of the patient at a remote location. Thereafter, compliance monitoring may be initiated to log the patient's intent to act in accordance with the notification. For instance, in certain embodiments, the notification relates to a reminder regarding scheduled medication administration for the particular patient, where a reply to the notification indicates whether the patient is following the scheduled medication administration.

  • Publication number: 20040078366
    Abstract: 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.
