Abstract
A computerized system customizes patient care workflows for health service providers. The system may extract essential details from various health service records for an individual, transform those details into standardized information, and use the standardized information to generate health service workflows that are particular to the patient. The health service workflows may be customized to a particular health service venue, a particular health service provider role, or even a particular health service provider.
Claims20
A method for customizing a patient care workflow, the method comprising:
- identifying two or more health service records for a patient, the two or more health service records generated by different venues and being stored in different data structures;
- converting information extracted from the two or more health service records into standardized information, the standardized information having a standardized data structure;
- comparing the standardized information from the health service records to situationally recommended health service workflows associated with a patient's symptoms and/or conditions;
- based on the comparing, generating recommended health service workflows for the patient;
- automatically identifying a health service role of a first user of a patient care documentation system, the health service role being associated with a set of permissions and authorizations;
- based at least in part on the set of permissions and authorizations, automatically determining which, if any, of the recommended health service workflows are not actionable by the first user;
- and
- based on the determining, automatically transferring the not actionable health service workflows of the recommended health service workflows to a second user.
A system for customizing a patient care workflow, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer storage medium storing computer-usable instructions that, when used by the processor, cause the processor to:
- identify two or more health service records for a patient, the two or more health service records generated by different venues and being stored in different data structures;
- convert information extracted from the two or more health service records into standardized information, the standardized information having a standardized data structure;
- compare the standardized information from the health service records to situationally recommended health service workflows associated with a patient's symptoms and/or conditions;
- based on the comparing, generate recommended health service workflows for the patient;
- automatically identify a health service role of a first user of a patient care documentation system, the health service role being associated with a set of permissions and authorizations;
- based at least in part on the set of permissions and authorizations, automatically determine which, if any, of the recommended health service workflows are not actionable by the first user;
- and
- based on the determining, automatically transfer the not actionable health service workflows of the recommended health service workflows to a second user.
Computer storage media, excluding signals per se, containing computer executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- identify two or more health service records for a patient, the two or more health service records generated by different venues and being stored in different data structures;
- convert information extracted from the two or more health service records into standardized information, the standardized information having a standardized data structure;
- compare the standardized information from the health service records to situationally recommended health service workflows associated with a patient's symptoms and/or conditions;
- based on the comparing, generate recommended health service workflows for the patient;
- automatically identify a health service role of a first user of a patient care documentation system, the health service role being associated with a set of permissions and authorizations;
- based at least in part on the set of permissions and authorizations, automatically determine which, if any, of the recommended health service workflows are not actionable by the first user;
- based on the determining, automatically transfer the not actionable health service workflows of the recommended health service workflows to a second user.
