CLOUD-BASED CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

An example method includes storing healthcare information related to a patient on the cloud-based clinical information system and determining if a first local information system of a first healthcare entity includes a first existing patient record associated with the patient. The example method also includes communicating a first command from the cloud-based clinical information system to an edge device located at a facility associated with the first healthcare entity and in communication with the first local information system. The edge device is to automatically attach a first portion of the healthcare information to the first existing patient record if the first local information system includes the first existing patient record or automatically generate a first new patient record to be populated by the first portion of the healthcare information if the first local information system does not include the first existing patient record based on the first command.

主权项

1. A cloud-based clinical information system, comprising:
a healthcare information analytics engine to:
analyze a patient referral order received by the cloud-based clinical information system from a first healthcare entity, the patient referral order including first healthcare information related to a patient to be treated by a second healthcare entity;automatically determine if a first local information system of the second healthcare entity includes an existing patient record associated with the patient; a records manager to communicate the first healthcare information and a first command to an edge device located at a facility associated with the second healthcare entity, the edge device in communication with the first local information system, wherein the first command is to 1) command the edge device to automatically attach a portion of the first healthcare information to the existing patient record if the local information system includes the existing patient record or 2) command the edge device to automatically generate a new patient record and attach the portion of the first healthcare information to the new patient record if the first local information system does not include the existing patient record.
