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 |
20110258002 | INTEGRATED MEDICAL SOFTWARE SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATED PRESCRIPTION SERVICE - An integrated medical software system with automated prescription management is disclosed. The system comprises a clinical module that is utilized by a user of the system to create an electronic document and to capture clinical data in the electronic document with a user interface during an encounter with a patient, said clinical data including one or more prescriptions the user generates for the patient, and said electronic document being pre-populated with at least a portion of demographic data for the patient; and an application that interfaces the system with at least one of a lab, a pharmacy, and a prescription system via a network connection and that automatically submits instructions for filling the one or more prescriptions to the at least one of a lab, a pharmacy, and a prescription system as the one or more prescriptions are generated for the patient during the encounter with the patient, wherein the user can generate the one or more prescriptions for the patient by using the user interface to select the one or more prescriptions from one or more previously generated prescriptions such that the instructions for filling the one or more prescriptions will be automatically submitted to the at least one of a lab, a pharmacy, and a prescription system without the user writing a new prescription. | 10-20-2011 |
20110270630 | Portal for viewing data from integrated medical software system - A medical management system is provided that integrates all aspects of healthcare provider practice management and managed care, including schedule management, patient registration, insurance information, EMR and billing and collections. The system integrates a central framework module, a scheduling module, a registration module, an account management module and an electronic record module to provide a seamless exchange of information. A clinical module provides template builder which allows the users to define a customized template. The custom and standard templates are used by a document builder to generate documents, such as progress notes and H&P notes, which are retained in the patient's electronic chart. The progress note template allows the clinician to record a patient encounter by presenting the clinician with predefined sections and sentences that are easily completed by the clinician during or after the patient encounter. The templates and documents generated are designed to closely resemble a paper chart. Information gathered during patient scheduling and triage are referenced to pre-populate the templates to avoid having the clinician entering redundant information. The documents are relied upon to automatically generate patient superbills and electronic requests are sent to a claims clearinghouse. | 11-03-2011 |
