Abstract
Techniques for managing patient information accessible by mobile devices are supported. A system may include a central medical information management system that maintains information regarding ongoing treatment of patients. Medical professionals may use mobile devices to access and display the information by way of a user-friendly interface that includes multiple display modes for different types of information reporting and information capture.
Claims27
A handheld apparatus comprising:
- a user interface comprising a display and capable of receiving user input;
- a wireless network interface capable of coupling to a central medical information management system,
- a memory maintaining a medical information management application and a selected one of a plurality of practice locations;
- and
- a processor operable, when executing the medical information management application:
- to retrieve electronic information from the medical information management system, the electronic information comprising one or more of a plurality of patient treatment records for patients receiving care at one of a plurality of practice locations, and wherein each of the patient treatment records indicates one of a plurality of predefined phases of care;
- to provide a plurality of display modes comprising a case board display mode and a patient treatment display mode;
- the case board display mode having a plurality of first display sub-modes, wherein the case board display mode displays one of the first display sub-modes and visual indicators indicating the non-displayed ones of the first display sub-modes, and wherein each of the first display sub-modes corresponds to a respective one a plurality of predefined phases of care and displays patient tracking records having information from the patient treatment records that correspond to the respective one of the predefined phases of care;
- the patient treatment display mode having a plurality of second display sub-modes, wherein the patient treatment display mode displays one of the second display sub-modes and visual indicators indicating the non-displayed ones of the second display sub-modes, and wherein a first one of the second display sub-modes displays a case chronology for the selected one of the patient tracking records and permits selection of one of a plurality of medical events in the case chronology for updating of a time record associated with the selected medical event;
- to receive user input selecting one of the display modes;
- to retrieve information from the medical information management system based on the selected display mode;
- and
- to enter the selected display mode using the information retrieved from the medical information management system.

A method comprising:
- retrieving electronic information from a medical information management system, the electronic information comprising one or more of a plurality of patient treatment records for patients receiving care at one of a plurality of practice locations, and wherein each of the patient treatment records indicates one of a plurality of predefined phases of care;
- providing a plurality of display modes comprising a case board display mode and a patient treatment display mode;
- the case board display mode having a plurality of first display sub-modes, wherein the case board display mode displays one of the first display sub-modes and visual indicators indicating the non-displayed ones of the first display sub-modes, and wherein each of the first display sub-modes corresponds to a respective one a plurality of predefined phases of care and displays patient tracking records having information from the patient treatment records that correspond to the respective one of the predefined phases of care;
- the patient treatment display mode having a plurality of second display sub-modes, wherein the patient treatment display mode displays one of the second display sub-modes and visual indicators indicating the non-displayed ones of the second display sub-modes, and wherein a first one of the second display sub-modes displays a case chronology for the selected one of the patient tracking records and permits selection of one of a plurality of medical events in the case chronology for updating of a time record associated with the selected medical event;
- receiving user input selecting one of the display modes;
- retrieving information from the medical information management system based on the selected display mode;
- and
- entering the selected display mode using the information retrieved from the medical information management system.
5 more elements
