Abstract: Certain examples provide a clinical information system software system. The example system includes a decomposer to decompose system functions included in a system concept into a plurality of individual functional components. The example system includes a design process to transform the plurality of functional components into a series of input files that include definitions to describe components forming a clinical information system configuration for installation. The example system includes a product generator to combine the information in the series of input files into a single software artifact including information and functionality to bootstrap and load a machine node and make the software artifact available to a target site for execution and installation.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for using medical perspectives to improve medical workflow. Certain embodiments of a system for using medical perspectives for improved screening analysis include a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) workstation capable of being used for reviewing images and at least one display capable of displaying images for review. The system also includes a default perspective including a first plurality of images organized according to a default criterion, wherein the default perspective is used to review the first plurality of images via the PACS workstation. The system includes one or more additional perspectives organizing image sets according to certain criteria. A user may select one or more of the additional perspectives for reviewing image sets or subsets via the PACS workstation. The system may also include tools and reporting templates for use with images within the perspectives.

Abstract: Certain embodiments present a system for managing access to patient data in a clinical information system that uses software applications, and a context manager that facilitates the sharing of context among the applications. The system has one access point, or a computer workstation terminal, allowing for user interaction with said at least two software applications. A centralized database stores information relating to patient data and user attempts to access patient data by the software applications. A first context identification module assigns a context label to each access attempt, and a second context identification module assigns a context label to data gathered by the software applications. An auditor regulates relationships between the software applications manager and provides a user interface enabling access to the centralized database.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for providing clinical display and search of electronic medical data from a variety of information systems. Certain embodiments provide a user interface system including a processor operating a plurality of electronic clinical functionalities; an input allowing a user to enter data and operate clinical functionalities; a learning module maintaining a record of user selected functionalities; and a display output providing a functionality interface and a selection interface to a user. Certain embodiments provide a method for navigating among a plurality of functionalities in an electronic clinical application by maintaining a record of a user's navigation history and generating an array of functionality links based on the record.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a clinical workflow system including a user interface adapted to present a visualization of a workflow to a user. The workflow represents a clinical protocol including a plurality of tasks. The user interface is adapted to generate a state machine for the workflow based on the clinical protocol by converting a sequential model of the clinical protocol into a plurality of states. Each state is associated with a task in the clinical protocol. At least one state in the state machine is connected with a non-sequential state.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of communicating an object data is provided. The method comprises receiving the object data from a first medical information system at a second medical information system, checking for an authorization for a user of the second medical information system to view the object data and displaying the object data upon finding the authorization. The method further comprises de identifying the object data upon not finding the authorization for the user and displaying the de identified object data at the second medical information system.
