Abstract
A data processing system and method that, in some cases, include an EMR system and a web server. In some cases, the EMR system includes a plurality of electronic medical records for a plurality of patients. One or more of the electronic medical records may include a URL or HTTP Post message that defines a path to a web-based resource, such as a treatment algorithm or medical calculator. In some embodiments, the URL and/or HTTP Post message is constructed based on information in a patient's medical record.
Claims12
A data processing system comprising:
- an electronic medical record (“EMR”) system through which solely health care providers can edit and store information in an EMR of a patient, wherein the EMR system is configured to construct a message that is associated with the patient's EMR accessible solely by health care providers, wherein the message includes:
- (i) a path to a web-based resource and (ii) medical data indicative of a medical condition of the patient that is derived from the patient's EMR, the EMR system configured to store a hyperlink to the web-based resource within the patient's EMR;
- and
- a web server configured to
- identify the web-based resource responsive to the message, wherein the web server is configured to modify the identified web-based resource based on the medical data provided in the message, and
- present the modified web-based resource in response to selection of the hyperlink.
A computer-implemented method for assisting care of a patient, the method comprising the steps of:
- identifying target data in a patient's electronic medical record (“EMR”) for which a web-based resource is available by an EMR system accessible to edit and store information in the EMR solely by health care providers;
- constructing an electronic message comprising:
- (a) a path to the web-based resource, and (b) data indicative of the target data;
- storing a hyperlink in the patient's EMR with the electronic message;
- and
- presenting the web-based resource responsive to selection of the hyperlink, wherein the web-based resource is modified responsive to data indicative of the target data in the message.
