STRUCTURED SUPPORT OF CLINICAL HEATLHCARE PROFESSIONALS

摘要

A system and method is provided for using a communications network coupling a plurality of computer systems, a database, and a at least one external data source together to facilitate communication therebetween. The plurality of computer systems is configured to extract at least one term from a medical order for the patient, identify at least one medical concept related to an extracted term, and identify at least one medical data element related to an identified medical concept. The plurality of computer system is further configured to query the database for the identified at least one medical data element, query the at least one external data source to retrieve at least one guideline for performing at least one intervention associated with the at least one medical data element, and generate a user interface that displays at least a portion of a result from the queries.

1. A system for generating a patient abstract containing data about a patient selected from the patient's medical records, comprising:
a plurality of computer systems; a database containing at least a portion of a medical record for the patient; at least one external data source having information about at least one guideline for performing at least one intervention; a communications network coupling the plurality of computer systems, the database, and the at least one external data source together to facilitate communication therebetween, such that at least one computer system of the plurality of computer systems is configured to:
build a hierarchical tree using at least the at least one guideline;extract at least one term from a medical order for the patient;identify at least one medical concept related to an extracted term;identify at least one medical data element related to an identified medical concept;query the database for the identified at least one medical data element in the medical record for the patient;using information from querying the database and the hierarchical tree, evaluate an appropriateness of the identified medical concept or the medical order for the patient under the at least one guideline; andgenerate a report at least indicating a result of evaluating the appropriateness of the identified medical concept or the medical order.
