Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for triggering patient analytic services for a medical provider. A system includes a memory and at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to maintain one or more records associated with a subject. The processor is further configured to receive one or more medical images related to the subject from an image server and generate a computer-readable symbol that encodes a link for accessing the planning system. The link includes a planning-system identifier and a subject identifier. The processor is further configured to generate a planning image based on information associated with the subject, embed the generated computer-readable symbol in the planning image, and transmit the planning image to the image server.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A planning system, comprising:
a memory; and at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
maintain one or more records associated with a subject;
receive one or more medical images from an image server, the one or more medical images related to the subject;
maintain one or more surgical plans associated with the subject;
generate a separate computer-readable symbol for each of the one or more surgical plans, each computer-readable symbol encoding a link for accessing the planning system, each link comprising:
a planning-system identifier;
a subject identifier; and
a procedure identifier for one of the surgical plans associated with the subject;

generate a planning image based on information associated with the subject;
embed each generated computer-readable symbol in the planning image, wherein each embedded symbol is configured to, when viewed by a camera of a mobile device, cause the mobile device to access the associated surgical plan using the link;
transmit the planning image to the image server for viewing;
receive, from the mobile device, a request to access the one or more surgical plans associated with the subject, the request comprising the subject identifier and the procedure identifier decoded from one of the computer-readable symbols in the planning image;
in response to receiving the request, access the surgical plan associated with the received procedure identifier and the subject identifier; and
provide the accessed surgical plan to the mobile device.

2 . The planning system of claim 1 , wherein:
the at least one processor is further configured to receive information related to the subject from an electronic health record (EHR) system; and the at least one processor is further configured to maintain one or more records associated with a surgical plan for the subject based on the received information.

3 . The planning system of claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
detect when new information is available from the EHR system; update the one or more records associated with the subject based on the new information; and transmit one or more notifications based on the updated records.

4 . The planning system of claim 3 , wherein the one or more notifications comprise a link configured to access the one or more records or trigger analytic services.

5 . The planning system of claim 1 , wherein the image server comprises a picture archiving and communication system (PACS).

6 . The planning system of claim 1 , wherein each computer-readable symbol comprises an indicia identifying the planning system.

7 . The planning system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more surgical plans associated with the subject comprise two or more surgical plans associated with the subject.

8 . The planning system of claim 1 , wherein the request to access the one or more surgical plans associated with the subject comprises an authentication token or key.

9 . A method of providing preoperative planning comprising, by a planning system:
receiving one or more medical images from an image server, the one or more medical images associated with a subject; processing the one or more medical images to determine that the subject exhibits a condition; maintaining one or more records associated with the subject and the condition; maintaining one or more surgical plans associated with the subject and the condition; generating a separate computer-readable symbol for each of the one or more surgical plans, each computer-readable symbol encoding a link for accessing the one or more records, each link comprising:
a planning-system identifier;
a subject identifier; and
a procedure identifier for one of the surgical plans associated with the subject;
generating one or more files including each of the generated computer-readable symbols, wherein each embedded symbol is configured to, when viewed by a camera of a mobile device, cause the mobile device to access the associated surgical plan using the link; and
transmitting the generated one or more files to the image server for viewing;
receiving, from the mobile device, a request to access the one or more surgical plans associated with the subject, the request comprising the subject identifier and the procedure identifier decoded from one of the computer-readable symbols in the planning image;
in response to receiving the request, accessing the surgical plan associated with the received procedure identifier and the subject identifier; and
providing the accessed surgical plan to the mobile device.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
receiving electronic health records associated with the subject; and updating the one or more records based on the received electronic health records.

11 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
detecting when new information is available from an EHR system; and in response to the new information being available:
updating the one or more records associated with the subject based on the new information; and
transmitting one or more notifications based on the updated records.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more notifications comprise a link configured to access the one or more records.

13 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the computer-readable symbol comprises an indicia identifying the planning system.

14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the image server comprises a picture archiving and communication system (PACS).

15 . The method of claim 9 , wherein maintaining one or more surgical plans associated with the subject comprises maintaining two or more surgical plans associated with the subject.

16 . The method of claim 9 , wherein receiving the request to access the one or more surgical plans comprises receiving an authentication token or key.
