20100106529 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING MEDICATION SELECTION GUIDANCE - A system and associated methods provide medication selection guidance at the time of a prescription event for a given patient, or at other times, such as when changes occur in the patient's healthcare plan coverage. In one medication selection guidance method, information is received regarding a clinician-preferred medication prescription related to a selected patient, and based on at least one record of the selected patient, a specific information set is retrieved. For instance, the specific information set may include medications the patient is currently taken, healthcare plan coverage for the patient, or other types of information. Then, other medications that can be prescribed to the patient as alternatives to the clinician-preferred medication prescription may be determined based on the specific information set. These alternative medications may be evaluated against the patient's healthcare plan coverage to present available medication options and associated out-of-pocket costs to the patient. | 04-29-2010 |
20100106530 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR DISTRIBUTED ANALYSIS OF PATIENT RECORDS - A system and associated methods provide healthcare entities with analyzing capabilities for records of a patient population. The analyzing process seeks to find matches between a piece of clinical knowledge introduced to a healthcare entity and data contained in the patient population records. According to one method, a service generates executable code based on the piece of clinical knowledge. Through a communication with the service, the healthcare entity makes a determination as to what extent the clinical knowledge has relevance to a patient population of the healthcare entity. Based on this determination, the healthcare entity receives at least a portion of the executable code. Then, the records of the patient population may be analyzed by the executable code to register matches of the clinical knowledge with data contained within the records. System activity may then be initiated based on the matches registered. Examples of system activity include compiling a contact list of patients and/or healthcare providers associated with specific records where matches occurred, generating a report about the matches registered, and flagging specific records where matches occurred so that care providers may discuss issues surrounding the clinical knowledge with associated patients in a future encounter with the healthcare entity, among others. | 04-29-2010 |

20110004529 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING A VISUALIZATION INDICATING RELATIONSHIPS AND RELEVANCE TO AN ENTITY - 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. | 01-06-2011 |

20080255874 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING CLINICAL NOTIFICATIONS - 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. | 10-16-2008 |
20100179827 | SEARCHING AN ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD - A method, system, and medium are provided for searching an electronic medical record. Search results are returned in response to a search query. The search query may be one or more designated medical concepts. The search results may be displayed according to a ranking that determines which search results are likely to be the most responsive to a query submitted by a particular clinician based on matching the most important clinical concepts in each document to the most important clinical concepts in the search query. | 07-15-2010 |
20110099029 | AUTOMATED ORDER ENTRY SYSTEM AND METHOD - 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. | 04-28-2011 |
20110173261 | USING USER-ATTRIBUTE ONTOLOGIES TO CALCULATE USER-ANONYMITY DEGREES - Computerized methods and systems for using user-attribute ontologies to calculate anonymity levels are provided. A semi-automated mechanism permits selective and optionally progressive exposure of demographic and clinical information to other members of a medical social network group that a member has joined. When a user decides to join a medical social network group (which may be based upon system suggestion or initiated of the user's own accord), he or she selects or creates a profile that has a statistically validated degree of anonymity, ranging from fully anonymous to fully transparent. Based upon a user's elected level of exposure, only certain data is exposed to the rest of the group's membership. Thus, the user is permitted to personally balance the tension between exposing a level of information that may render him or her personally identifiable and exposing enough information to obtain meaningful advice and/or camaraderie. | 07-14-2011 |
