20150046185 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCED INTERACTIVE REPORTING OF MEDICAL TEST RESULTS - An application for providing interactive reports of medical test results that may be integrated with other medical information and services on a mobile device. | 02-12-2015 |
20150029555 | PRINTING FROM A HANDHELD DEVICE VIA A REMOTE SERVER - Systems and methods are provided though which a transaction, e.g., in a multi-tier, distributed application may be initiated from a portable or hand-held device, such as a smartphone. A computer system or systems, possibly remote from the device, may approve the transaction, complete it, or both, and the remote computer system or systems may cause a document to be printed, e.g., by a printer physically proximate to the device. | 01-29-2015 |
20140195624 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING DATA WITH ELECTRONIC MESSAGES - The invention relates to sharing patient care information through electronic messaging. Systems for managing electronic health records may comprise extensive patient information, e.g., names, addresses, insurance coverage and/or other financial arrangements, health conditions, allergies, procedures undergone, and/or tests performed. The invention involves transfer of such information between users. Embodiments of the invention may pass such information by adding to electronic messages pointers that uniquely refer to one or more patient records. Some embodiments may thereby send health information electronically while preserving metadata and/or other meaning associated with the data. | 07-10-2014 |
20140156311 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING MEDICAL TEST RESULTS - In an exemplary embodiment, this invention provides a method of providing medical test results. The method includes a step of selecting formulary information that corresponds to a result of a medical test. The method also includes a step of generating a medical report. The medical report includes a laboratory report that corresponds to the medical test. The medical report also includes the selected formulary information. | 06-05-2014 |
20140136240 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADMINISTRATION OF PRESCRIPTION DRUG BENEFITS - The invention relates to the administration of prescription drug formulary information. A list of drugs that a particular prescription drug plan will pay for in whole or in part is called a formulary. The invention involves the use of information and customizable rules associated with formularies, combined with information from patient medical records, to generate custom, dynamic formularies applicable to specific patients, groups of patients, or both. Depending on the choice of rules and the other information, this may help payers control prescription drug costs by encouraging the use of less-expensive drugs when medically appropriate, but without impairing the freedom of prescribers to prescribe specific drugs according to their professional judgments. Some embodiments may also be adapted to generate and store data about the use and functioning of the embodiments or aspects of them and to generate reports containing some or all such data in response to queries. | 05-15-2014 |
20130329244 | PRINTING FROM A HANDHELD DEVICE VIA A REMOTE SERVER - Systems and methods are provided though which a transaction, e.g., in a multi-tier, distributed application may be initiated from a portable or hand-held device, such as a smartphone. A computer system or systems, possibly remote from the device, may approve the transaction, complete it, or both, and the remote computer system or systems may cause a document to be printed, e.g., by a printer physically proximate to the device. | 12-12-2013 |
20120315706 | LIPOPROTEIN ANALYSIS BY DIFFERENTIAL CHARGED-PARTICLE MOBILITY - The invention provides methods of preparation of lipoproteins from a biological sample, including HDL, LDL, Lp(a), IDL, and VLDL, for diagnostic purposes utilizing differential charged particle mobility analysis methods. Further provided are methods for analyzing the size distribution of lipoproteins by differential charged particle mobility, which lipoproteins are prepared by methods of the invention. Further provided are methods for assessing lipid-related health risk, cardiovascular condition, risk of cardiovascular disease, and responsiveness to a therapeutic intervention, which methods utilize lipoprotein size distributions determined by methods of the invention. | 12-13-2012 |
