Abstract
Systems and methods are provided that leverage computers, and specifically a network like the Internet, to provide understandable information to a patient and to obtain meaningful consent from the patient. In particular, the systems and methods described herein may integrate with an electronic medical records (EMR) system to provide information to a patient. Such information may include an explanation of a how a procedure or treatment may be performed, possible complications or side effects that may occur, what a patient should do pre-op, what a patient should do during the procedure or treatment, and/or what a patient should do or expect post-op.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for constructing a non-linear video, comprising:
- as implemented by one or more computer systems comprising computer hardware and memory, the one or more computer systems configured with specific executable instructions,
- receiving, by the one or more computer systems, a diagnosis associated with a patient from an electronic medical records system;
- retrieving, by the one or more computer systems, a first video segment from a video database based on the received diagnosis, wherein the first video segment comprises first content associated with a first subject;
- generating, by the one or more computer systems, a first question based on an analysis of the first content, wherein the first question tests an ability of the patient to understand the first content;
- transmitting, by the one or more computer systems, the first video segment and data configured to cause a user device to display the first question to the user device over a network for presentation to the patient;
- receiving, by the one or more computer systems, a first answer from the user device over the network, wherein the first answer is selected by the patient in response to the first question;
- comparing, by the one or more computer systems, the first answer to an expected answer to the first question;
- retrieving, by the one or more computer systems, a second video segment from the video database in connection with a result of the comparison indicating that the first answer matches the expected answer, wherein the second video segment is retrieved based on the first answer and the diagnosis, and wherein the second video segment comprises second content associated with a second subject;
- retrieving, by the one or more computer systems, a third video segment from the video database in connection with a result of the comparison indicating that the first answer does not match the expected answer, wherein the third video segment is retrieved based on the first answer and the diagnosis, and wherein the third video segment comprises the first content and third content associated with the first subject;
- and
- transmitting, by the one or more computer systems, the second video segment to the user device in connection with a result of the comparison indicating that the first answer matches the expected answer or the third video segment to the user device in connection with a result of the comparison indicating that the first answer does not match the expected answer for presentation to the patient.

A computer-implemented method for obtaining consent from a patient, comprising:
- as implemented by one or more computer systems comprising computer hardware and memory, the one or more computer systems configured with specific executable instructions,
- receiving a diagnosis from an electronic medical records system, wherein the diagnosis is associated with a patient;
- generating a message based on the received diagnosis, wherein the message comprises a link to a video retrieved based on the received diagnosis;
- transmitting the message to the electronic medical records system;
- receiving a request to view the video from a user device, wherein the request is generated based on a selection of the link;
- transmitting the video to the user device in response to receiving the request;
- transmitting hardware instructions to the user device, wherein the hardware instructions comprise a request to provide a list of available hardware components;
- receiving, from the user device, the list of available hardware components;
- transmitting consent instructions to the user device, wherein the consent instructions comprise a request to obtain consent from the patient using a component in the list of available hardware components;
- and
- receiving, from the user device, an indication that consent is obtained from the patient, wherein the user device obtains consent from the patient by activating the component in the list of available hardware components.

- generate a message based on the received diagnosis, wherein the message comprises a link to a video retrieved based on the received diagnosis;
- transmit the message to the electronic medical records system;
- receive a request to view the video from a user device, wherein the request is generated based on a selection of the link;
- transmit the video to the user device in response to receiving the request;
- generate hardware instructions that are transmitted to the user device, wherein the hardware instructions comprise a request to provide a list of available hardware components;
- receive, from the user device, the list of available hardware components;
- transmit consent instructions to the user device, wherein the consent instructions comprise a request to obtain consent from the patient using a component in the list of available hardware components;
- and
- receive, from the user device, an indication that consent is obtained from the patient, wherein the user device obtains consent from the patient by activating the component in the list of available hardware components.
