Assignee:

EPIC Systems Corporation - Verona WI

International Classification:

G06K 5/00

US Classification:

235380, 235375, 235487

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method for identifying patients using common forms of identification, and specifically readable personal identifiers such as credit cards, and for identifying dependents through a guardian's personal identification. The guardian registers the account with a health care database, and associates the dependent patients with the account. Thereafter, the guardian can process healthcare services for the guardian by providing a readable identifier identifying the account. As a result, the guardian can register the dependent patient for an appointment through a kiosk or other publicly accessible terminal, and can also access scheduling or other services.

US Classification:

705002000, 340539100

Abstract:

Disclosed is a system and method for managing and tracking the location of patients and health care facility resources, including but not limited to health care practitioners, health care equipment, patient charts and other items in a health care facility. The system comprises a health care information system having at least one data repository for storing health care facility data, patient data and health care facility resource data and at least one graphical user interface in communication with the at least one data repository, and a graphical representation of at least one health care facility stored in the health care information system and displayable by the graphical user interface for managing patient care and health care facility resources. The graphical representation preferably provides an interactive map of the at least one health care facility for tracking the location of patients and health care facility resources.

US Classification:

705003000, 705002000

Abstract:

Disclosed is a system and method for providing a comprehensive interactive anatomical graphical representation of a body for use in a health care environment. The system comprises a health care information system having at least one data repository for storing data and at least one graphical user interface in communication with the at least one data repository, and at least one anatomical map of a body stored in the health care information system and displayable by the graphical user interface for managing care. Because the graphical representation of the at least one anatomical map of a body is integrated within the enterprise health care information system, it allows a user to access patient data and health care facility resource data, perform actions on the displayed patients and health care facility resources, and manage patient care and health care facility resources.
