Abstract

Example systems, methods and storage media to provide a cross-enterprise workflow among clinical systems are disclosed. An example cross-enterprise enabled clinical information system includes a workflow manager to coordinate user workflows with respect to the system and associated content. The system includes an image services manager configured to manage images and associated services for the system and associated content. The workflow manager and image services manager are configured for cross-enterprise content sharing such that the system is to locally authenticate a user at the system and the system is to locally authorize a remote request for access to content at the system from a remote user that has been authenticated remotely. The system is arranged to provide content in response to the remote request after the remote authentication has been received and the system has verified the remote user's authorization for access.

Dependent claims

An apparatus comprising:

memory to include instructions;
and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to generate a unified patient record from a plurality of systems, the at least one processor to implement at least:
a plurality of cross-enterprise fabric services including a first cross-enterprise fabric service and a second cross-enterprise fabric service, each of the cross-enterprise fabric services associated with a respective system in the plurality of systems to facilitate connection to and interaction with each of the plurality of systems using its associated cross-enterprise fabric service each of the cross-enterprise fabric services to interface with the respective system by connecting to the respective system via the associated cross-enterprise fabric service to retrieve information for a patient to form the unified patient record for the patient based on a cross-enterprise identifier and an exam identifier,
wherein the plurality of systems includes a first system and a second system, and
wherein the at least one processor is to gather the information for the patient to form the unified patient record using the plurality of cross-enterprise fabric services and combine the information into a presentation for display and to facilitate user interaction with the plurality of systems using the plurality of cross-enterprise fabric services by a selection from the unified patient record, and wherein selection of a first exam in the unified patient record triggers the first cross-enterprise fabric service of the first system to access the second system via the second cross-enterprise fabric service and retrieve corresponding information from the second system using a second system service for display via a first system service and a viewer associated with the first system.

3 more elements

A tangible computer readable storage device including instructions which, when executed, specially configure at least one processor to generate a unified patient record from a plurality of systems, the instructions, when executed, to configure the at least one processor to implement at least:

a plurality of cross-enterprise fabric services including a first cross-enterprise fabric service and a second cross-enterprise fabric service, each of the cross-enterprise fabric services associated with a respective system in the plurality of systems to facilitate connection to and interaction with each of the plurality of systems using its associated cross-enterprise fabric service to retrieve information for a patient to form the unified patient record for the patient based on a cross-enterprise identifier and an exam identifier,
wherein the plurality of systems includes a first system and a second system, and
wherein the at least one processor is to gather the information for the patient to form the unified patient record using the plurality of cross-enterprise fabric services and combine the information into a presentation for display and to facilitate user interaction with the plurality of systems using the plurality of cross-enterprise fabric services by a selection from the unified patient record, and wherein selection of a first exam in the unified patient record triggers the first cross-enterprise fabric service of the first system to access the second system via the second cross-enterprise fabric service and retrieve corresponding information from the second system using a second system service for display via a first system service and a viewer associated with the first system.
