Abstract
Methods, computer systems, and computer-storage medium are provided for providing clinical information for a person, such as a test result, in real time where the information is automatically pushed to a selected notification device of a physician. A graphical representation is generated for a clinician to select clinical notification options. Received selections create a notification to be automatically sent to one or more clinician devices. Automatic notifications reduce delay in clinician action when new clinician information is provided.
Claims20
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform actions comprising:
- provide access to a clinical notification management application via a cloud computing network that hosts a control server, wherein the control server manages the clinical notification management application;
- automatically generate, by the clinical notification management application via the control server, one or more graphical user interfaces that display a medical order screen having one or more user selectable clinical notification options that identify notification preferences that are assignable to (1) one or more patients being treated and (2) one or more notification devices for receiving clinical notifications based on the notification preferences;
- receive one or more user selections, via the one or more graphical user interfaces and the control server, representing the notification preferences selected including at least a type of medical result data relating to a patient for which a clinical notification will be generated;
- receive one or more user selections, via the one or more graphical user interfaces, representing a notification preference for errors identified in a patient medical chart associated with the one or more patients;
- generate the notification preferences that are selected and assigned to the one or more patients and to the one or more notification devices, and store the notification preferences in a cloud-accessible database maintained in the cloud computing network;
- monitor subsequent medical data that is received into one or more electronic medical records (EMR) associated with the one or more patients being treated;
- determine whether the subsequent medical data received via the one or more electronic medical records (EMR) for the one or more patients being treated includes data that matches the notification preferences stored in the cloud-accessible database including the type of medical result data;
- determine whether the subsequent medical data received includes an error identified in the patient medical chart associated with the one or more patients;
- in response to determining the subsequent medical data matches the notification preferences, automatically generate in real-time, via the control server, the clinical notification and a notification route associated with the one or more notification devices assigned in the notification preferences;
- and
- transmit the clinical notification, via network communications, to the one or more notification devices based on at least the notification route to provide an alert to one or more users.
8 more elements
A computer-implemented method in a computing environment for providing a clinical notification, the method comprising:
- providing access to a clinical notification management application via a cloud computing network that hosts a control server, wherein the control server manages the clinical notification management application;
- automatically generating, by the clinical notification management application via the control server, one or more graphical user interfaces that display a medical order screen having one or more user selectable clinical notification options that identifies selectable notification preferences that are assignable to (1) one or more patients being treated and (2) one or more notification devices for receiving clinical notifications based on the selectable notification preferences;
- receiving one or more user selections, via the one or more graphical user interfaces and the control server, identifying the notification preferences selected including at least a type of medical result data relating to one or more patients for which a clinical notification will be generated and identifying one or more devices of the one or more notification devices to receive the clinical notification;
- receiving one or more user selections, via the one or more graphical user interfaces, representing a notification preference for errors identified in a patient medical chart associated with the one or more patients;
- generating the notification preferences that are selected and assigned to the one or more patients and to the one or more notification devices, and storing the notification preferences in a cloud-accessible database maintained in the cloud computing network;
- monitoring subsequent medical data that is received into one or more electronic medical records (EMR) associated with the one or more patients being treated;
- determining whether the subsequent medical data received via the one or more electronic medical records (EMR) for the one or more patients being treated includes data that matches the notification preferences stored in the cloud-accessible database by the control server including the type of medical result data;
- determining whether the subsequent medical data received includes an error identified in the patient medical chart associated with the one or more patients;
- in response to determining the subsequent medical data matches the notification preferences, automatically generating in real-time, via the control server, the clinical notification and a notification route associated with the one or more notification devices assigned in the notification preferences;
- and
- transmitting the clinical notification, via network communications, to the one or more notification devices based on at least the notification route to provide an alert to one or more users.
8 more elements
A system for providing a clinical notification, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer storage media storing instructions that, when used by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- provide access to a clinical notification management application via a cloud computing network that hosts a control server, wherein the control server manages the clinical notification management application;
- automatically generate, by the clinical notification management application via the control server, one or more graphical user interfaces that display a medical order screen having one or more user selectable clinical notification options that identifies selectable notification preferences that are assignable to (i) one or more patients being treated and (ii) one or more notification devices for receiving clinical notifications based on the selectable notification preferences;
- receive one or more user selections, via the one or more graphical user interfaces and the control server, that (i) identify the notification preferences selected including at least a type of medical data relating to one or more patients for which a clinical notification will be generated and (ii) identify one or more of the one or more notification devices to receive the clinical notification;
- receive one or more user selections, via the one or more graphical user interfaces, representing a notification preference for errors identified in a patient medical chart associated with the one or more patients;
- monitor subsequent medical data that is received into one or more electronic medical records (EMRs) associated with the one or more patients being treated;
- determine whether the subsequent medical data received via the electronic medical records (EMRs) for the one or more patients being treated includes data that matches the notification preferences stored in a cloud-accessible database by the control server including the type of medical data;
- determine whether the subsequent medical data received includes an error identified in the patient medical chart associated with the one or more patients;
- in response to determining the subsequent medical data matches the notification preferences, automatically generate in real-time, via the control server, the clinical notification and a notification route associated with the one or more notification devices assigned in the notification preferences;
- and
- transmit the clinical notification, via network communications, to the one or more notification devices based on at least the notification route to provide an alert to one or more users.
