Abstract
Systems, methods and computer-readable media are provided for identification of patients or family member having genetic disease or probable genetic disease. During or after registration of a patient, parents, grandparents, or siblings of the patient are identified. If it is determined that one of the patient or the parents, grandparents, or siblings of the patient has been assigned with a diagnosis indicating a genetic disease, an alert for genetic disease or probable genetic disease for the patient or family member of the patient is provided. A clinician is then prompted to confirm or rule out the patient or family member inheriting the disease.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a genetic disease engine, that a family member of a patient registered in a healthcare system has been assigned a diagnosis indicating a genetic disease, the diagnosis being determined by a clinician;
- upon determining that the family member has been assigned the diagnosis indicating the genetic disease, providing, by the genetic disease engine, an alert in the healthcare system indicating a probable genetic disease for the patient, wherein providing the alert comprises updating an electronic health record of the patient by providing a probable genetic disease icon in the electronic health record of the patient, wherein the probable genetic disease icon may be interacted with by a user of the healthcare system;
- receiving an interaction with the probable genetic disease icon by a user of the healthcare system;
- and
- upon receiving the interaction with the probable genetic disease icon, providing a name of the family member, a relationship of the family member to the patient, and the diagnosis of the family member.
Computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method, comprising:
- determining, by a genetic disease engine, that a family member of a patient registered in a healthcare system has been assigned a diagnosis indicating a genetic disease, the diagnosis being determined by a clinician;
- upon determining that the family member has been assigned the diagnosis indicating the genetic disease, providing, by the genetic disease engine, an alert in the healthcare system indicating probable genetic disease for the patient, wherein providing the alert comprises updating an electronic health record of the patient by providing a probable genetic disease icon in the electronic health record of the patient, wherein the probable genetic disease icon may be interacted with by a user of the healthcare system;
- receiving an interaction with the probable genetic disease icon by a user of the healthcare system;
- and
- upon receiving the interaction with the probable genetic disease icon, providing a name of the family member, a relationship of the family member to the patient, and the diagnosis of the family member.
A system, comprising:
- a genetic disease engine, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations, comprising:
- determine, by the genetic disease engine, that a family member of a patient registered in a healthcare system has been assigned a diagnosis indicating a genetic disease, the diagnosis being determined by a clinician;
- upon determining that the family member has been assigned the diagnosis indicating that the genetic disease, provide, by the genetic disease engine, an alert in the healthcare system indicating a probable genetic disease for the patient,
- wherein the alert comprises an update to an electronic health record of the patient, the update comprising a probable genetic disease icon in the electronic health record of the patient, wherein the probable genetic disease icon may be interacted with by a user of the healthcare system;
- receive an interaction with the probable genetic disease icon by a user of the healthcare system;
- and
- upon receiving the interaction with the probable genetic disease icon, providing a name of the family member, a relationship of the family member to the patient, and the diagnosis of the family member.
