A user interface system enables user selection of related parameters identifying an order for providing an item or service. The system employs a repository including information identifying candidate items or services for order and associated corresponding related order parameters in which an individual item or service for order is associated with multiple related order parameters. A user interface processor for, in response to user entry of order associated data, uses the repository in providing data representing a display image. The display image includes, an initial single candidate order including multiple order related parameters, order related parameter identifiers, multiple concurrently displayed columnar image areas correspondingly associated with the multiple order related parameters and individually incorporating multiple user selectable values for a respective individual order related parameter. In response to the user selection of a first value for a first order related parameter in a first columnar image area for incorporation in the candidate order, corresponding compatible sets of order related parameter values are presented in remaining columnar image areas of the multiple concurrently displayed columnar image areas. The display image enables, in response to user command, user selection of a complete candidate order derived by selection of displayed order related parameter values in the concurrently displayed columnar image areas.

Mapping of semantics in healthcare may involve accessing first transaction data in a first database, the first transaction data corresponding to a collection of a first number of fields defined for a condition using a first semantic system to store information and calculating a first distribution of information in the first transaction data. Mapping may also involve accessing second transaction data in a second database, the second transaction data corresponding to a second semantic system different than the first semantic system and the second database comprising a second number of fields using the second semantic system to store information, and calculating a second distribution of information in the second transaction data. The distributions may then be compared and a map relating the semantic systems may be generated and used to communicate between the first and second semantic systems.

Automated mapping of service codes in healthcare systems

Adaptive medical data collection for medical entities may involve managing content by receiving data indicating a context, identifying at least one application or knowledge base associated with the context, designating the identified application or knowledge base as active, and accessing the active application or knowledge base to provide information at an interface point for a medical professionals and a patient.

Adaptive medical documentation system

Adaptive medical data collection for medical entities may involve triggering an analysis of electronic records in response to information input into an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) of a patient. Determining a potential condition for the patient based on the analysis. Identifying additional information indicated as relevant to the potential condition of the patient, and generating a request for the identified additional information.

Automatic mapping of semantics in healthcare is provided. Data sets have different semantics (e.g., Gender designated with M and F in one system and Sex designated with 1 or 2 in another system). For semantic interoperability, the semantic links between the semantic systems of different healthcare entities are created (e.g., Gender=Sex and/or 1=F and 2=M) by a processor from statistics of the data itself. The distribution of variables, values, or variables and values, with or without other information and/or logic, is used to create a map from one semantic system to another. Similar distributions of other variable and/or values are likely to be for variables and/or values with the same meaning.

Mapping of semantics in healthcare may involve accessing first transaction data of a first healthcare entity in a first database, the first transaction data corresponding to a collection of a first number of fields defined for a condition using a first semantic system to store information and calculating a first distribution of information in the first transaction data. Mapping may also involve accessing second transaction data of a second healthcare entity in a second database, the second transaction data corresponding to a second semantic system different than the first semantic system and the second database comprising a second number of fields using the second semantic system to store information, the second number of fields larger than the first number of fields and calculating a second distribution of information in the second transaction data. The distributions may then be compared and a map relating the semantic systems may be generated.

Disclosed herein is a framework for facilitating virtual safety assessment. In accordance with one aspect, the framework receives image data of an environment to be assessed for safety from an agent support system. The framework sends such image data to an expert support system and receives safety assessment information from the expert support system determined based on the image data. The framework then provides a report based at least in part on such safety assessment information.

Virtual home safety assessment framework

A system continuously improves the sensitivity, specificity, precision, and accuracy of treatment ordering templates. A repository of information comprises multiple candidate order sets individually including multiple candidate items for order and associated corresponding related order parameters. An individual item for order is associated with multiple related order parameters. A data entry monitor monitors user selection of candidate items from a candidate order set and records candidate item usage data identifying items selected by a user for order from individual particular candidate order sets for multiple different candidate order sets. A data processor determines from the candidate item usage data at least one of, (a) data indicative of the number or proportion of candidate items of a particular candidate order set that were selected by a user during order entry and (b) data indicative of the number or proportion of candidate items of a particular candidate order set that were not selected by a user during order entry.

System and user interface supporting task schedule configuration

A system for scheduling a set of tasks to be performed by at least one individual to support healthcare delivery employs a method for providing a user interface for processing an event. The event represents a change in circumstances potentially affecting healthcare delivered to a patient. The method involves initiating generation of at least one display image in response to user command. The display image or images support the identification of an event and an associated parameter as well as the designation of a predetermined process associated with the identified event. The display image or images also support user indication of the parameter to be provided to the predetermined process in response to occurrence of the event. The predetermined process comprises a set of tasks to be performed by at least one individual to support healthcare delivery. The display image or images also support designating an executable procedure to be initiated in response to occurrence of the identified event.

System and user interface for processing healthcare related event information

A system and user interface integrates and processes event associated messages affecting healthcare delivered to a patient and supports creation, initiation and modification of currently operating workflow processes involving processing of event messages. A method for processing an event representing a change in circumstances potentially affecting healthcare delivered to a patient involves receiving a message identifying an event potentially affecting healthcare delivered to a patient. Predetermined rules are applied to interpret the identified event to determine particular tasks to be performed in response to occurrence of the identified event. The particular tasks are scheduled to be performed by at least one individual in response to the occurrence of the identified event. In addition a database containing records indicating active process instances is searched to identify active process instances of a target process to be replaced by a process comprising the particular tasks. Also a parameter associated with an event is stored at a location available for access by multiple different process task sequences.
