Patient-centric timeline for medical studies

A method of generating a graphical user interface including a patient centric timeline for medical studies, the method comprising:

• receiving, with an electronic processor, a selection of a reference medical study associated with a patient, the reference medical study having a reference modality identifier and a reference procedure type in metadata associated with the reference medical study,
• accessing, with the electronic processor, a plurality of additional medical studies associated with the patient, each of the plurality of additional medical studies having a modality identifier, a procedure type, and a study time in metadata associated with each of the plurality of additional medical studies,
• applying, with the electronic processor, a set of rules to the plurality of additional medical studies to determine a relevancy level for each of the plurality of additional medical studies from a plurality of relevancy levels, wherein applying the set of rules to the plurality of additional medical studies includes
• (i) comparing the reference modality identifier of the reference medical study and modality identifier of each of the plurality of additional medical studies, and
• (ii) comparing the reference procedure type of the reference medical study and the procedure type of each of the plurality of additional medical studies, and
• generating, with the electronic processor, and displaying the graphical user interface including the patient-centric timeline, wherein the patient-centric timeline includes a node for each of the plurality of additional medical studies, the node for each of the plurality of additional medical studies positioned along a first dimension of the timeline based on the study time of the additional medical study and positioned along a second dimension of the timeline based on the relevancy level of the additional medical study.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by an electronic processor, perform a set of functions, the set of functions comprising:

• receiving a selection of a reference medical study associated with a patient, the reference medical study having a reference modality identifier and a reference procedure type in metadata associated with the reference medical study,
• accessing a plurality of additional medical studies associated with the patient, each of the plurality of additional medical studies having a modality identifier, a procedure type, and a study time in metadata associated with each of the plurality of additional medical studies,
• applying a set of rules to the plurality of additional medical studies to determine a relevancy level for each of the plurality of additional medical studies from a plurality of relevancy levels, wherein applying the set of rules to the plurality of additional medical studies includes
• (i) comparing the reference modality identifier of the reference medical study and modality identifier of each of the plurality of additional medical studies, and
• (ii) comparing the reference procedure type of the reference medical study and the procedure type of each of the plurality of additional medical studies, and
• generating and displaying the graphical user interface including the patient-centric timeline, wherein the patient-centric timeline includes a node for each of the plurality of additional medical studies, the node for each of the plurality of additional medical studies positioned along a first dimension of the timeline based on the study time of the additional medical study and positioned along a second dimension of the timeline based on the relevancy level of the additional medical study.
