Problems solved by technology

While EHRs aggregate patient information into a single location, they may suffer from information overload.
Every time the patient indicates that he or she has a problem, that problem may get added to the patient list, causing the list to grow.
Over time, this list may contain many entries, including duplicate problems, inaccurate problems, and outdated or resolved problems.
Similarly, because the problem list includes all of the patient's stated problems, it may contain information that, while current and unique, may not be that useful to the practitioner, particularly when the practitioner is a specialist.
At the same time, the problems that actually are most useful to the practitioner may be overlooked or otherwise missed when the practitioner is reviewing the entire problem list.
In addition, while one of the benefits of an EMR is record portability, difficulties may arise when problem lists from multiple sources are combined, particularly if those lists come from different types or formats of EMRs, or contain problems that are represented within multiple different reference vocabularies.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]As seen in FIG. 1, a method for processing electronic medical record problem lists may be employed to generate a clinically relevant patient profile. In one aspect, the patient profile may be useful to a clinician because it may categorize and group related problems according to concept groupings, and groupings may be determined based on semantic distance between the represented concepts. For example, all cardiovascular problems may be grouped under a “cardiovascular” category, all kidney-related problems may be grouped under a “renal” category, etc.

[0031]In addition, the system may attach indicator flags to the problems within each category, which may permit later ranking and ranked display of the problems according to attributes, such as severity, timeliness, or other concepts such as classification within a clinical measure. One example of such a flag is seen in FIG. 2, in which the problem “Diabetes mellitus” and the related problems clustered underneath that summary probl...

Abstract

A method for generating orders for a care plan through a problem list in an electronic medical record or an electronic health record includes the steps of mapping, using a computer, entries in a problem list with a respective concept in an interface terminology, analyzing, by a computer, each mapped entry to determine related problem list entries, grouping related entries into one or more categories, and aggregating a plurality of care plans relevant to one of the categories. Care plans may include medications and labs, and each care plan entry also may be coded with an external terminology, such as RxNorm or LOINC.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 14 / 530,727, filed Nov. 1, 2014, which claims priority to U.S. provisional application 61 / 943,109, filed Feb. 21, 2014, which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Patient electronic medical records (EMRs) are used to store a patient's medical history in one location. EMRs permit more complete recordkeeping, which may lead to improved patient care, as healthcare professionals may be able to quickly and thoroughly review the patient's previous and current medical conditions in one location. EMRs also may facilitate portability of healthcare records.[0003]As computer use has become more prevalent, electronic health records or electronic medical records (EHRs or EMRs) have become the industry standard for documenting patient care. Industry initiatives and government legislation have facilitated EHR implementation and use. Most notable among them is the Health Information Technology for E...
