US 2014/0006431 A1 · Automated Clinical Evidence Sheet Workflow

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to computer systems for implementing dynamic, data-driven workflows within healthcare and other environments. Such a system may include a computer-processable definition of one or more workflows. Each workflow definition may define various aspects of the corresponding workflow, such as the data required by the workflow, a process for extracting such data from a variety of structured and/or unstructured data sources, a set of process steps to be performed within the workflow, and a condition for triggering the workflow. The system may use the workflow definition to extract the data required by the workflow and to perform the workflow's process steps on the extracted data in response to determining that the workflow's trigger condition has been satisfied. The workflow may change in response to changes in data extracted by the workflow.

Dependent claims

A method performed by at least one computer processor, the method comprising:

(A) determining that a trigger condition defined by a trigger condition definition of a workflow definition has been satisfied;
(B) in response to the determination in (A):
(B) (1) using a process defined by a data extraction process definition associated with the workflow definition to extract, from at least one data source, data defined by a data definition associated with the workflow definition;
(B) (2) storing the extracted data in an evidence sheet;
and
(B) (3) applying, to the extracted data, steps defined by a workflow process definition associated with the workflow definition to generate first workflow output.
