System and methods for facilitating computerized interactions with emrs

A method for using a health information exchange system, storing patient record data regarding a multiplicity of patients, to serve a first plurality of EMRs each interacting with an EMR community including a set of at least one EMR, the method comprising:

• for each individual EMR within said first plurality of EMRs, using a processor to automatically identify an event whereby a health provider using said individual EMR calls up an individual patient's record from said individual EMR;
• and
• using a processor to apply at least one predetermined rule involving intercepted EMR context and using a computerized output device to provide an alerting indication drawing the health provider's attention to at least some of said patient record data according to said predetermined rule.

A system for using a health information exchange system, storing patient record data regarding a multiplicity of patients, to serve a first plurality of EMRs each interacting with an EMR community including a set of at least one EMR, the system comprising:

• a record-call up identifying processor operative, for each individual EMR within said first plurality of EMRs, to automatically identify an event whereby a health provider using said individual EMR calls up an individual patient's record from said individual EMR;
• and
• an intercepted context rule applying processor applying at least one predetermined rule involving intercepted EMR context and controlling a computerized output device to provide an alerting indication drawing the health provider's attention to at least some of said patient record data according to said predetermined rule.

• a record-call up identifying processor operative, for each individual EMR within said first plurality of EMRs, for performing a computerized context interception process using a processor to intercept context from the individual EMR and to identify therewithin an event whereby a health provider using said individual EMR calls up an individual patient's record from said individual EMR;
• and
• a record-call up identifying processor-driven output device controller operative, responsive to identification of said event, to control a computerized output device for providing patient record data, pertaining to said individual patient, to said health provider.
