20090132465 | SYSTEM FOR ANIMAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS - A diagnosis of the health of an animal is obtained through a combination of computerized data and human interpretation. Data relates to the physical characteristics of the animal, and includes data obtained from a physical inspection of the animal. A blood or other fluid sample is used to obtain a computer generated laboratory analysis. This is reported through an internet network to the clinical pathologist. The clinical pathologist has the data relating to the physical characteristics, and thereby makes a diagnosis of the animal health. A drop-down menu on a computer screen provides supplemental reports to support the diagnosis. This can be enhanced by further input from the pathologist through keyboard entry into the computer to obtain an integrated computer report having the laboratory analysis, supplemental report, and selectively an enhanced report. The integrated report is electronically communicated to a client. | 05-21-2009 |
20090254327 | ANIMAL HEALTH DIAGNOSTICS - A physical blood sample of animal is sent to a satellite laboratory facility. The blood sample is pre-processed into sub-samples of the sample and the sub-samples are coded. The coded blood sub-samples are physically carried to the main laboratory for analysis. The satellite facility electronically inputs a request for a laboratory analysis by a main laboratory. The request is electronically transmitted to the main laboratory, and the main laboratory coordinates the electronically received input from the satellite facility with the physical blood sub-samples. A computer report of the analysis from the laboratory is obtained for the satellite facility. A clinical pathologist with data of physical characteristics of the animal makes a diagnosis. A menu on a computer permits the generation of a supplemental report to support the diagnosis. An integrated computer report having the laboratory analysis, supplemental report, and a pathologist-enhanced report is electronically communicated to the client. | 10-08-2009 |
