Abstract
Systems and methods for interfacing with a healthcare organization's coding system.
Claims21
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving electronic documents associated with a patient's encounter with a healthcare organization;
- identifying terms in the electronic documents that are relevant to the patient's diagnosis or a procedure associated with the patient, wherein identifying terms comprises comparing terms within the electronic document to terms in a database of terms;
- and,
- displaying in a user interface at least portions of at least one of the electronic documents with first visual indicia associated with the identified terms.
1 more element
A computer-readable medium comprising application code which implements the following procedures when executed by a computer:
- generating in a user interface an application window;
- displaying within the application window subsets of one or more medical documents, the medical documents having been generated in association with a patient's encounter with a healthcare organization;
- matching terms found within the subsets with terms that exist within a database of terms pre-identified as being relevant to medical coding;
- and,
- associating matched terms with a first visual indicia, and for the matched terms displayed within the application window, displaying the matched terms with associated first visual indicia.
2 more elements
A system comprising one or more microprocessors and memory, which executes software to cause the system to:
- receive electronic documents associated with a patient's encounter with a healthcare organization;
- identify terms in the electronic documents that are relevant to the patient's diagnosis or a procedure associated with the patient, wherein identifying terms comprises comparing terms within the electronic document to terms in a database of terms;
- and,
- display in a user interface at least portions of at least one of the electronic documents with first visual indicia associated with the identified terms.
