DUPLICATION DETECTION IN CLINICAL DOCUMENTATION TO UPDATE A CLINICIAN

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided to detect incremental changes in clinical documents associated with a patient. A user selection is received indicating that a user wants to compare two or more clinical documents that are associated with the patient or authored by the same clinician, enabling the user to become up-to-date on the patient's care. A first clinical document and a second clinical document are identified. For the first clinical document and the second clinical document, differences are algorithmically determined. The first clinical document is transformed into a new representation of the first clinical document. Further, the second clinical document is transformed into a new representation of the second clinical document. One or more of the new representations of the first and the second clinical documents are displayed, assisting the user to quickly find and understand the differences between the documents.

主权项

1. One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a computing device, perform a method of detecting incremental changes in clinical documents, the method comprising:
receiving a user selection indicating that a user wants to compare two or more clinical documents that are associated with the patient or are authored by a same clinician, enabling the user to become up-to-date on the patient's care; identifying a first clinical document and a second clinical document that are to be compared; for the first clinical document and the second clinical document, algorithmically determining differences between the first clinical document and the second clinical document, where the first clinical document was created prior to the second clinical document; transforming the first clinical document into a new representation of the first clinical document, the new representation of the first clinical document comprising an indication of data in the first clinical document that is not in the second clinical document; transforming the second clinical document into a new representation of the second clinical document, the new representation of the second clinical document comprising an indication of data in the second clinical document that is not in the first clinical document; and displaying one or more of the new representation of the first clinical document and the new representation of the second clinical document on a single user interface.
