Abstract
Computerized systems and methods facilitate patient searches by providing a search quality indicator for presentation to a user entering a patient search input to indicate to the user the likelihood the search input will return search results that will allow the user to identify a search result corresponding with a desired patient. When a user enters search input, a search quality score is generated. The search quality score may be determined based on the amount of search input provided and/or the type of search criteria provided. A search quality indicator is presented to the user based on the search quality score.
Claims20
One or more computer storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:
- receiving user input via at least one of a plurality of input fields in a patient search user interface, each input field corresponding with a different type of search criteria;
- determining a search quality score based on the user input using an algorithm that includes a weighting for each type of search criteria;
- and
- providing a search quality indicator based on the search quality score for presentation in conjunction with the patient search user interface.
A method in a clinical computing environment comprising:
- receiving, via a first computing process, user input in a patient search user interface;
- determining, via a second computing process, a type of search criteria corresponding with the user input;
- generating, via a third computing process, a search quality score based on the type of search criteria corresponding with the user input;
- and
- providing, via a fourth computing process, a search quality indicator for presentation based on the search quality score;
- wherein the first, second, third, and fourth computing processes are performed by one or more computing devices.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer storage media storing instructions that, when used by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receiving user input via a patient search user interface;
- generate a search quality score based on an amount of user input received and a type of search criteria corresponding with the user input;
- and
- provide a search quality indictor for presentation based on the search quality score.
