Abstract

A system provides an overview of patient medical condition by automatically converting a financial diagnosis description of a medical condition, into clinical terminology and associating a clinical diagnosis with a patient in a record that persists the association across multiple patient visits for a lifetime type medical condition. A system provides an overview of patient medical condition identifying both long term and short term medical conditions. The system includes a designation processor for designating an identified patient medical condition as being long term in response to user command. At least one repository stores information associating a designated long term patient medical condition with a patient and with a plurality of encounter identifiers identifying corresponding interactions of the patient with a healthcare provider organization and medical conditions associated with the encounters. A user interface initiates generation of data representing a composite display image window including data identifying a designated long term patient medical condition together with encounters and medical conditions associated with the encounters providing a user an overview of long term and short term medical conditions of a patient.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A system for providing an overview of patient medical condition identifying both long term and short term medical conditions, comprising:
a designation processor for designating an identified patient medical condition as being long term in response to user command; at least one repository for storing information associating a designated long term patient medical condition with a patient and with a plurality of encounter identifiers identifying corresponding interactions of said patient with a healthcare provider organization and medical conditions associated with said encounters; and a user interface for initiating generation of data representing a composite display image window including data identifying a designated long term patient medical condition together with encounters and medical conditions associated with said encounters providing a user an overview of long term and short term medical conditions of a patient.

2 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein
said designation processor automatically parses data representing a patient diagnosis and identifies data indicating a potentially long term medical condition in said patient diagnosis and automatically initiates providing a user with a prompt message prompting a user to select a patient medical condition as being a long term medical condition.

3 . A system according to claim 2 , wherein
said designation processor automatically identifies data indicating a potentially long term medical condition based on a predetermined list of potentially long term medical conditions.

4 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein
said designation processor automatically parses data representing a patient medical condition and identifies data indicating at least one potentially long term medical condition in said data representing a patient medical condition and automatically initiates providing a user with a corresponding candidate list of potentially long term medical conditions enabling a user to select a particular long term medical condition for association with a patient.

5 . A system according to claim 1 , including
a workflow processor for automatically prompting a user to confirm addition of a task to a task list of a healthcare worker in response to, designation of an identified patient medical condition as being long term and data identifying at least one of, (a) a short term medical condition of said patient, (b) an order for treatment to be administered to said patient and (c) a laboratory test result of said patient.

6 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein
said identified patient medical condition is identified from a condition representative code in a predetermined code set.

7 . A system according to claim 6 , including
a converter for automatically translating a code representing said identified patient medical condition to a text phrase representing said identified patient medical condition understandable by a clinician.

8 . A system according to claim 7 , wherein
said composite display image window includes said text phrase.

9 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein
said designation processor associates a designated long term patient medical condition with a particular patient.

10 . A system for providing an overview of patient medical condition identifying both long term and short term medical conditions, comprising:
a designation processor for automatically designating an identified patient medical condition as being long term by parsing data representing a patient medical condition and identifying data indicating a potentially long term medical condition in said data representing a patient medical condition based on a predetermined list of potentially long term medical conditions; at least one repository for storing information associating a designated long term patient medical condition with a patient and with a plurality of encounter identifiers identifying corresponding interactions of said patient with a healthcare provider organization and medical conditions associated with said encounters; and a user interface for initiating generation of data representing a composite display image window including data identifying a designated long term patient medical condition together with encounters and medical conditions associated with said encounters providing a user an overview of long term and short term medical conditions of a patient.
