Abstract
A graphical representation of patient status. A smart graphic is created by a smart graphic generator from data associated with a patient. The smart graphic may represent a state of various physiological systems at a point in time and provide other patient data of interest to a healthcare provider in graphical form. The smart graphic may be continuously updated with the most current patient state information. The smart graphic may also permit the healthcare provider immediate interactive access to the data underlying the graphical representations and data related thereto.
Claims23
A system for generating a graphical representation of patient status comprising:
- a network
- a patient state data (PSD) datastore accessible via the network, wherein the PSD datastore comprises patient state data;
- a rules engine having access to the network, wherein the rules engine applies rules to data elements stored in the PSD datastore;
- a results processor connected to the rules engine and having access to the network, wherein the results processor is configured with software instructions to cause the results processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving the output of the rules engine;
- determining from the output of the rules engine whether an assessment measure relating to the state of the patient should be updated;
- a smart graphic generator connected to the PSD datastore, wherein the results processor is configured with software instructions to cause the smart graphic generator to perform operations comprising:
- receiving the determinations from the results processor;
- receiving the data elements stored in the PSD datastore;
- generating a smart graphic, wherein the smart graphic comprises regions associated with measures determined from the data elements stored in the PSD datastore and the determinations of the result processor and wherein the smart graphic is accessible to a display system via the network.
A method for generating graphical representations of patient status comprising:
- storing patient state data (PSD) in a PSD datastore connected to a network;
- applying rules to data elements stored in the PSD datastore via a rules engine connected to the network;
- receiving the output of the rules engine at a results processor;
- determining from the output of the rules engine whether an assessment measure relating to the state of the patient should be updated;
- receiving the determinations from the results processor at a smart graphic generator;
- retrieving data elements stored in the PSD datastore;
- generating a smart graphic based on the retrieved data elements, wherein the smart graphic comprises regions associated with measures determined from the data elements stored in the PSD datastore;
- and
- displaying the smart graphic over the network.
