Abstract

The present disclosure is a system for collaborative programming of data entry workflows between end users, EHR system developers, and third party developers. The system comprises application servers and database servers, an EHR, and peripheral devices, all stored in a distributed computing environment. The database servers comprise databases and networked devices, which host workflows programmed by end users, EHR developers, and third party developers. The system also has a secure network connection for data exchange between application and database servers, and networked devices. The EHR gathers patient health information, processes it and stores it in one of the databases. The system itself, stored in one of the application servers, uses a plurality of templates (form, system and external system) stored in one of the databases to interact with the peripheral devices connected to networked devices that expand the capabilities of the networked devices or the EHR itself.

Claims16

Dependent claims

A system for collaborative programming of data entry workflows between end users, electronic health record system developers, and third party developers, the system comprising:

at least one application server and at least one database server stored in a distributed computing environment, and wherein the database server comprises at least one database;
at least one networked device, wherein the at least one networked device hosts data entry workflows, and wherein the data entry workflows are programmed by at least one end user, at least one electronic health record system developer, and at least one third party developer;
a secure network connection, wherein the secure network connection exchanges data between the at least one application server, the at least one database server, and the at least one networked device;
an electronic health record system, wherein the electronic health record system gathers patient health information, processes the patient health information, and stores the patient health information in the at least one database, and wherein the electronic health record system is stored in the at least one application server;
a plurality of templates, wherein the at least one of a plurality of templates comprise form templates, system templates, and/or external system templates, and wherein the at least one of a plurality of templates are stored in the at least one database;
and
a plurality of peripheral devices, wherein the at least one of a plurality of peripheral devices is connected to the at least one networked device, and wherein the at least one of a plurality of peripheral devices expands existing functionalities of the at least one networked device or the electronic health record system.

4 more elements

A method for collaborative programming of data entry workflows between end users, electronic health record system developers, and third party developers, the method comprising:

accessing at least one application server and at least one database server through a secure network connection, wherein the at least one database server comprises at least one database;
downloading an electronic health record system from the at least one application server to a networked device through the secure network connection;
creating at least one of a plurality of templates, wherein the at least one of a plurality of templates comprise form templates, system templates, and/or external system templates, and storing the at least one of a plurality of templates in the at least one database;
creating a plurality of workflows, wherein the plurality of workflows comprise the at least one of a plurality of templates;
gathering patient health information, wherein the patient health information is gathered by the electronic health record system with the at least one of a plurality of workflows wherein the patient health information that has been gathered with the at least one of a plurality of workflows creates at least one of a plurality of existing workflows;
and
injecting the at least one of a plurality of templates and/or the at least one of plurality of workflows into the at least one of a plurality of existing workflows in response to the patient health information gathered in the at least one of a plurality of existing workflows, wherein the at least one of a plurality of templates and/or the at least one of a plurality of workflows that have been injected into the at least one of a plurality of existing workflows is performed by the electronic health record system.
