Systems, apparatus, and methods for developing patient medical history using hierarchical relationships

摘要

An example apparatus provides access to electronic health information for a first patient and one or more patients connected by relationship to the first patient. A first patient indicator represents a first patient and provides a link to electronic health information for the first patient. A second patient indicator represents a second patient and provides a link to electronic health information for the second patient. A connection provides a graphical indication of a relationship between the first patient and the second patient and connects electronic health information for the second patient for access in connection with electronic health information for the first patient. The connection is to provide a graphical indication of a priority of the relationship between the first patient and the second patient based on a defined relationship hierarchy. A graphical indication of a type of relationship between the first patient and the second patient is provided.

主权项

1. An apparatus providing access to electronic health information for a first patient and one or more patients connected by relationship to the first patient, said apparatus comprising:
a processor and a memory arranged to implement a hierarchical patient relationship tree graphical user interface, the interface comprising: a first graphical patient indicator representing a first patient and providing a link to electronic health information for said first patient, said electronic health information to be accessible to a user by selecting said first patient indicator; a second graphical patient indicator representing a second patient and providing a link to electronic health information for said second patient; a connection providing a graphical indication of a patient-to-patient relationship between said first patient and said second patient and connecting electronic health information for said second patient for access in connection with electronic health information for said first patient, said connection to provide a graphical indication of a priority of the relationship between said first patient and said second patient based on a defined relationship hierarchy; and a graphical indication of a type of the patient-to-patient relationship between said first patient and said second patient, wherein said first patient indicator, said second patient indicator, said connection, and said graphical relationship indicator are displayed for user selection and interaction together via the hierarchical patient relationship tree interface via a display via a user interface, wherein each connection in the hierarchical patient relationship tree is to visually and electronically associate the first patient with at least the second patient and to electronically link the hierarchical patient relationship tree to electronic medical information records for the first patient and the second patient, the hierarchical patient relationship tree navigable by selecting, via the interface, the indicators connected visually in the hierarchical patient relationship tree and displayed via the interface according to the relationship between the patients.
