A system and method of information retrieval and triage for information analysis provides an for interactive multi-dimensional and linked visual representation of information content and properties. A query interface plans and obtains result sets. A dimension interface specifies dimensions with which to categorize the result sets. Links among results of a result set or results of different sets are automatically generated for linked selection viewing. Entities may be extracted and viewed and entity relations determined to establish further links and dimensions. Properties encoded in representations (e.g. icons) of the results in the multidimensional views maximizes display density. Multiple queries may be performed and compared. An integrated browser component responsive to the links is provided for viewing documents. Documents and other information from the result set may be used in an analysis component providing a space for visual linking, to arrange the information in the space while maintaining links automatically.

A new clip-type ring design for a rapidly-deployable triage sensor is described. The triage sensor is capable of measuring one or more parameters related to a patient's current health state. The device consists of two contoured halves which are designed to wrap around a finger like a ring. At least one of the halves is at least spring-loaded or motorized and is capable of opening or closing to allow for quick attachment to a wide range of finger shapes and sizes. The spring-loaded halves serve as both a means of securing the device to the patient as well as make it possible to measure patient health parameters such as systolic blood pressure, that are standard inputs to conventional triage methodologies. As data are acquired, the ring is able to transmit pertinent information wirelessly to medical responders for evaluation and decision making purposes.

A medical management system is provided that integrates all aspects of healthcare provider practice management and managed care, including schedule management, patient registration, insurance information, EMR and billing and collections. The system integrates a central framework module, a scheduling module, a registration module, an account management module and an electronic record module to provide a seamless exchange of information. A clinical module provides template builder which allows the users to define a customized template. The custom and standard templates are used by a document builder to generate documents, such as progress notes and H&P notes, which are retained in the patient's electronic chart. The progress note template allows the clinician to record a patient encounter by presenting the clinician with predefined sections and sentences that are easily completed by the clinician during or after the patient encounter. The templates and documents generated are designed to closely resemble a paper chart. Information gathered during patient scheduling and triage are referenced to pre-populate the templates to avoid having the clinician entering redundant information. The documents are relied upon to automatically generate patient superbills and electronic requests are sent to a claims clearinghouse.

Systems and methods are provided for locating an on-call doctor, specific to a patient's needs, who is readily available for a live confidential patient consultation using a network enabled communication device with a digital camera and microphone.

A method and apparatus of detecting a bio-emergency, including receiving patient health information at a plurality of health care facilities. The patient health information, preferably triage data, is transmitted simultaneously with the receiving step to a bio-surveillance network for pooling and further analysis. In particular, the patient health information is then compiled to create, for example, volumetric health data. The information preferably is transmitted over a multi-level network including a number of local health care facilities such as hospital emergency rooms, a number of regional repositories such as regional health departments, and a centralized recipient such as the CDC. The local health care facilities communicate vertically with the regional repositories that, in turn, communicate vertically with the centralized recipient and possibly horizontally with other regional repositories. The centralized recipient can then transmit related information such as a health warning to the other members of the network and/or to other authorities.
