20110246224 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING, COLLECTING, AND TRACKING QUALITY DATA ACROSS A VAST HEALTHCARE PROVIDER NETWORK - A system and method for gathering quality data for a plurality of healthcare providers over an extended computer network is disclosed. The system and method comprise an enhanced services server in electronic data communication with a plurality of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems via a network connection, the plurality of EHR systems being configured to capture patient data for a plurality of patients at the plurality of healthcare providers' sites during a plurality of encounters with each of the plurality of patients, and the enhanced services server being built on the same architecture as the plurality of EHR systems. Electronic quality of care forms are retrieved from one or more form managers via the network connection and a plurality of fields in each of the electronic quality of care forms are automatically populated using the patient data captured by the plurality of EHR systems. The completed electronic quality of care forms are then automatically transmitted to one or more form receivers via the network connection, the one or more form receivers being one or more organizations that process quality of care data to qualify healthcare providers for at least one of certifications, accreditations, and monetary incentives. | 10-06-2011 |
20110246236 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRACKING AND REPORTING CLINICAL EVENTS ACROSS A VAST PATIENT POPULATION - A system and method for gathering quality data for a plurality of healthcare providers over an extended computer network is disclosed. The system and method comprise an enhanced services server in electronic data communication with a plurality of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems via a network connection, the plurality of EHR systems being configured to capture patient data for a plurality of patients at the plurality of healthcare providers' sites during a plurality of encounters with each of the plurality of patients, and the enhanced services server being built on the same architecture as the plurality of EHR systems. Electronic quality of care forms are retrieved from one or more form managers via the network connection and a plurality of fields in each of the electronic quality of care forms are automatically populated using the patient data captured by the plurality of EHR systems. The completed electronic quality of care forms are then automatically transmitted to one or more form receivers via the network connection, the one or more form receivers being one or more organizations that process quality of care data to qualify healthcare providers for at least one of certifications, accreditations, and monetary incentives. | 10-06-2011 |
20110258000 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECRUITING PATIENTS FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH ACROSS A VAST PATIENT POPULATION - A system and method for recruiting participants for medical research over an extended computer network is disclosed. The system and method comprise an enhanced services server built on the same architecture as a plurality of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, an input device configured to receive search criteria corresponding to clinical criteria that a patient must satisfy to qualify to participate in the medical research, search functionality configured to search the patient data captured by each of the plurality of EHR systems based on the search criteria, an output device configured to output data for a plurality of qualifying patients identified by the search functionality as satisfying the search criteria, and messaging functionality configured to send an electronic message via a network connection to one or more healthcare provider sites at which patient data for at least one of the plurality of qualifying patients was captured, wherein, upon receiving authorization in response to the request, the researcher can access the patient-identifying information associated with the patient data for the at least one of the plurality of qualifying patients identified with the output data and use it to recruit that patient for medical research. | 10-20-2011 |
20110264466 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING MEDICAL RESEARCH ACROSS A VAST PATIENT POPULATION - A system and method for performing medical research over an extended computer network is disclosed. The system and method comprise a plurality of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems configured to capture patient data for a plurality of general patients at a plurality of corresponding healthcare provider sites during encounters with those patients, a research system configured to generate one or more electronic documents for completion with patient data that is related to the medical research, and an enhanced services server built on the same architecture as the plurality of EHR systems, wherein the one or more electronic documents include one or more first fields and one or more second fields for completion with patient data that is related to the medical research and the enhanced services server is in electronic data communication with the plurality of EHR systems and the one or more research systems via a network connection. Qualifying patients are identified from among the plurality of general patients and the first fields in each of the electronic documents are automatically populated with patient data for a corresponding qualifying patient. The one or more electronic documents that were automatically populated with patient data is electronically transmitted to at least one EHR system via the network connection, and the at least one EHR system is used to complete the second fields in each of the electronic documents during subsequent patient encounters. The completed electronic documents are electronically transmitted from the at least one EHR system to the enhanced services server, which electronically transmits the completed electronic documents back to the research system via the network connection. | 10-27-2011 |
20110301982 | INTEGRATED MEDICAL SOFTWARE SYSTEM WITH CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT - An integrated medical software system with embedded transcription functionality is disclosed. The system comprises a clinical module for capturing clinical data for a patient in a first electronic document and a communication component that communicates the clinical data to a rule-based clinical decision support (CDS) system and receives at least one of an alert, warning, reminder, and recommendation back from the CDS system based on the clinical data. The CDS system is configured to compare the clinical data against a knowledge base to identify the at least one of an alert, warning, reminder, and recommendation; the clinical data is serialized into a standardized database language and placed into a first electronic clinical document defined by a clinical document exchange standard before being communicated to the CDS system; and the at least one of an alert, warning, reminder, and recommendation is provided in a second electronic clinical document defined by the clinical document exchange standard when received back from the CDS system. | 12-08-2011 |
20130006658 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOTE MONITORING SERVICES - Users can use a portal for remote monitoring of clinical trials and the sites, personnel, and patients involved. A scheduling function allows users to schedule access. Site sponsors can run productivity reports. | 01-03-2013 |
20130006670 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LONGITUDINAL CONTINUITY OF CARE - Health-care organizations are given access to clinical details about a patient captured from one or more encounters at one or more sites. The details are searched in a data warehouse, using a master person identifier identifying the patient. The details are then aggregated into a dynamic and interactive record. | 01-03-2013 |
20130339054 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING MEDICAL INFORMATION TO LABOR AND DELIVERY STAFF - A remote labor and delivery service project provides details captured from one or more encounters. Essentially, it is the assembly of records aggregated over the course of the duration of the patient's visits but viewable remotely by a secure portal. The Labor and Delivery user will be able to select a patient from a group of pregnant women and select a specific pregnant patient. In some embodiments, the provider will be able to view the patient's prenatal flow sheets, prenatal lab, and antepartum summary. | 12-19-2013 |
