Abstract
Electronic messages, such as emails, often ask questions, ask that a task be done, or assign a task. The responsive messages often forget to answer the questions and the responders often forget to calendar tasks. Advances in natural language processing provide computers the ability to notice the questions and task requests/assignments. Automated analysis of the messages can detect and highlight questions, can provide for draft responses addressing every question, and can provide for getting tasks calendared.

A method for marking a datum of an electronic health record for later review, comprising:
- providing graphical user interface for a first permission level and a second permission level, the graphical user interface presenting an interface window comprising a collection icon and the electronic health record comprising a plurality of datum specific to a record;
- accepting a datum selection of a portion of the plurality of datum of the electronic health record in accordance with the first permission level, the graphical user interface having presented the datum as part of the electronic health record in accordance with the first permission level;
- detecting a datum drag of the selected portion of datum toward a predetermined distance from the collection icon within the interface window;
- signaling that releasing the selected portion of datum will associate a datum alert with the datum;
- detecting a datum release while the detected datum drag is within the predetermined distance from the collection icon;
- and
- associating the datum alert with the selected portion of datum for the collection icon in response to detecting the datum release, wherein the datum alert is associated with the selected portion of the datum in accordance with a second permission level.
A system for marking a datum of an electronic health record for later review, comprising:
- a display device displaying a generated graphical user interface for a first permission level and a second permission level, the graphical user interface presenting an interface window comprising a collection icon and the electronic health record comprising a plurality of datum specific to a record;
- an input device configured to accept a datum selection of a portion of the plurality of datum of the electronic health record in accordance with the first permission level, the graphical user interface having presented the datum as part of the electronic health record in accordance with the first permission level;
- a processor operatively coupled to the display device and the input device, wherein the processor is configured to cause the display device to show the graphical user interface, wherein the processor is configured to process the datum selection;
- an application module, configured to store one or more executable applications;
- a memory, operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory is configured to store the electronic health record and the datum;
- wherein the processor is configured to detect a datum drag of the selected portion of datum toward a predetermined distance from the collection icon within the interface window;
- wherein the processor is configured to cause the display device to signal that releasing the selected portion of datum while the detected datum drag is within the predetermined distance from the collection icon will associate a datum alert with the datum;
- wherein the processor is configured to associate the datum alert with the selected portion of datum in response a datum release, wherein the datum alert is associated with the selected portion of the datum in accordance with a second permission level.
A method for marking a plurality of electronic health record datums for later review, comprising:
- providing graphical user interface for a first permission level and a second permission level, the graphical user interface presenting an interface window comprising a collection icon and an electronic health record of a patient comprising a plurality of datum specific to a record;
- highlighting the collection icon in response to detecting that one of the plurality of electronic health record datums has been dragged within the interface window from the electronic health record and is within a collection range of the collection icon in accordance with the first permission level;
- recording in a database a plurality of datum alerts associated with the plurality of electronic health record datums for the collection icon, wherein each of the plurality of datum alerts is associated with one of the plurality of electronic health record datums that was dragged and released within the collection range of the collection icon, wherein the datum alert is associated with the selected portion of the datum in accordance with a second permission level.
