A first state is a key compartment door unlocking state, while a second state is a shackle release state. A third state is a “soft lock” state, which allows the key compartment door to be closed, or the shackle to be re-installed, and once this has occurred, the door will not fall open, and the shackle will not fall out. A fourth state is a “hard lock” state in which the key compartment door and the shackle are not easily disturbed by vibration or intentional impact by a would-be thief, who is attempting to unlawfully open the door or remove the shackle. | 12-03-2009 |

20100121044 | SOLID PHASE TECHNIQUE FOR SELECTIVELY ISOLATING NUCLEIC ACIDS - A method of isolating target nucleic acid molecules from a solution comprising a mixture of different size nucleic acid molecules, in the presence or absence of other biomolecules, by selectively facilitating the adsorption of a particular species of nucleic acid molecule to the functional group-coated surface of magnetically responsive paramagnetic microparticles is disclosed. Separation is accomplished by manipulating the ionic strength and polyalkylene glycol concentration of the solution to selectively precipitate, and reversibly adsorb, the target species of nucleic acid molecule, characterized by a particular molecular size, to paramagnetic microparticles, the surfaces of which act as a bioaffinity adsorbent for the nucleic acids. The target nucleic acid is isolated from the starting mixture based on molecular size and through the removal of magnetic beads to which the target nucleic acid molecules have been adsorbed. The disclosed method provides a simple, robust and readily automatable means of nucleic acid isolation and purification which produces high quality nucleic acid molecules suitable for: capillary electrophoresis, nucleotide sequencing, reverse transcription cloning the transfection, transduction or microinjection of mammalian cells, gene therapy protocols, the in vitro synthesis of RNA probes, cDNA library construction and PCR amplification. | 05-13-2010 |

20140279754 | SELF-EVOLVING PREDICTIVE MODEL - Systems and methods are provided for predicting clinical parameters. A model of a plurality of models having a sufficient accuracy, given a received set of predictors, is selected. A value for a clinical parameter is predicted from the selected model and the set of predictors to provide a predicted value. A value for the clinical parameter is measured, and the model is updated according to the set of predictors and the measured value. | 09-18-2014 |
20150154361 | INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD SYSTEM AND METHOD - This disclosure relates to a visualization tool that can be implemented to facilitate medical decision making by providing an interactive whiteboard of relevant health data. The interactive whiteboard can include interactive graphical elements representing health data objects and relationships among objects that can be manipulated or modified in response to graphical user interface controls. | 06-04-2015 |

20120271612 | PREDICTIVE MODELING - This disclosure relates to predictive modeling. Systems and methods can be utilized extract data from a plurality of data sources to provide a set of predictor variables. The predictor variables can be analyzed to generate a model having a portion of the predictor variables with weighted coefficients according to an event or outcome for which the model is generated. A prediction tool can employ the model to predict the even or outcome for one or more patients. | 10-25-2012 |
20120290323 | INTERACTIVE VISUALIZATION FOR HEALTHCARE - This disclosure relates to a visualization tool that can be implemented to facilitate medical decision making by providing an interactive graphical map of relevant health data. The interactive map can include graphical elements representing health data that can be obtained from an EHR and associations between such data that are represented by graphical connections. The graphical elements and associations can be modified to reflect medical decision making. | 11-15-2012 |
20130132117 | GRAPHICAL TOOL FOR MANAGING A LONGITUDINAL PATIENT EPISODE - Systems and methods are disclosed for graphical-based management and documentation of longitudinal care episodes. As one example, a system to manage a longitudinal care episode for a patient can include a patient data aggregator, executable by a processor, to provide context data for the patient, at least a portion of the context data including patient data associated with multiple phases of the longitudinal care episode. A tool manager can translate user interactions with an associated graphical user interface (GUI) into corresponding discrete concepts. The corresponding discrete concepts can be stored in memory as part of longitudinal episode data for the patient, the longitudinal episode data being generated based on the context data and in response to user interactions with the GUI to facilitate documentation and management of the longitudinal care episode. | 05-23-2013 |
20130212508 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE TO FACILITATE PROBLEM-ORIENTED MEDICAL CHARTING - This disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing analytics for an enterprise workflow, such as to characterize employee behavior based on enterprise data collected based on services performed by the employees. The system can be utilized, for example, to help drive proper documentation by employees of the enterprise, such as by generating statistics that characterize documentation entered by or on behalf of an employee or a group of employees for services that have been performed. | 08-15-2013 |
