Dec 27, 2004

Appl. No.:

11/023057

Inventors:

Christopher S. Finn - Liberty MO, US
David J. O'Larte - Peculiar MO, US
Steven S. Crooks - Gladstone MO, US

Assignee:

Cerner Innovation, Inc. - Overland Park KS

International Classification:

G06Q 50/00

US Classification:

705 2, 709 7, 434236, 434238

Abstract:

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.

US Classification:

705 2, 705 3, 707706, 707759, 707780

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.

10/860458

Inventors:

Christopher S. Finn - Liberty MO, US
Steven S. Crooks - Gladstone MO, US
David J. O'Larte - Peculiar MO, US

Assignee:

Cerner Innovations, Inc. - Kansas City KS

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00
G06Q 50/00

US Classification:

705 2

Abstract:

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.

International Classification:

G06Q 99/00

US Classification:

705001000

Abstract:

A system and associated methods facilitate brokering on behalf of a particular clinician of requests for an electronic collaboration session that originate from another entity. According to one method of the invention, inbound messages are received by a brokering system, and then converted into a format suitable for screening. Each inbound message relates to a request of collaboration with the particular clinician. Converted messages are then screened according to certain rule settings of the system to reach a particular result. Based on the result of the screening, a response is generated to the converted message that includes invoking a specific rule action. The rule actions may be configured to accomplish a range of automated functions, and the brokering system allows the particular clinician to specify a particular level of presence for collaboration.

International Classification:

G06Q 50/00

US Classification:

705 2

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.

US Classification:

705 3, 705 4, 715810

Abstract:

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.
