Method And System For Facilitating User Navigation Through A Computerized Medical Information System

A computerized system for facilitating clinician-user navigation through a computerized medical information repository including utilizing a clinically ontological hierarchy of clinical semantic elements, the system comprising:

• a computerized ontology of suggested data requests defined in terms of said ontological hierarchy of clinical semantic elements;
• and
• a processor operative, responsive to an individual clinician-user's navigation through the medical information repository, for presenting suggested data requests to the clinician-user based on pre-defined rules defined over the ontology of suggested data requests.

A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory tangible computer readable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method for facilitating clinician-user navigation through a computerized medical information repository including utilizing a clinically ontological hierarchy of clinical semantic elements, the method comprising:

• generating an ontology of suggested data requests defined in terms of said ontological hierarchy of clinical semantic elements;
• and
• Responsive to an individual clinician-user's navigation through the medical information repository, presenting suggested data requests to the clinician-user based on pre-defined rules defined over the ontology of suggested data requests.
