Systems and methods of monitoring progress of delivery of a patient-specific medication are disclosed. A patient/medication identification (ID) device is provided on a package containing the medication, the patient/medication ID device comprising medication/patient information indicative of the medication and the patient. At least one location ID device is provided at a location, the at least one location ID device comprising a unique location ID associated with the location. The medication/patient information and the patient/medication ID are read. Delivery progress information indicative of a last-known read location where at least one of the medication/patient ID information and the unique location identifier was read is generated. The delivery progress information is stored in a database. The delivery progress information is accessed from the database in response to the request. A delivery status of the medication is indicated to the user.

Matching a subject with a clinical trial includes steps of: collecting patient data associated with the subject; collecting clinical trial data from multiple sources; matching the subject to a clinical trial scheduled in a location accessible to the subject; notifying a health care provider associated with the subject about the clinical trial; and receiving a response.

Systems and methods can include obtaining computerized physician intent data representing an initial patient care plan; creating a computerized workflow to include a course of multiple radiation therapy sessions; performing instructions on the oncology computer system to generate control parameters for a radiation therapy apparatus to provide the radiation treatment in accordance with the workflow during the course of sessions; obtaining computerized treatment data after initiating the course of sessions; processing the computerized treatment data, using the processor circuit, to determine an indication of delivery or effect of the radiation treatment during the course of sessions based on the initial patient care plan relative to the workflow; using the indication of delivery or effect of the radiation treatment to adapt the patient care plan; and managing the workflow for the patient using the adapted patient care plan as the patient proceeds through a course of sessions.

Methods and systems for automatically establishing an enhanced electronic health record (EHR) for a patient include an automatic data collection facility that collects data of a medically related event in proximity to a patient upon occurrence of the event. The collected data may include medication administration data such as medication, time of administration, administration of a dosage of medication, reaction data, and the like. The collected data is communicated to a real-time data integration facility that automatically integrates the data with a patient's electronic health record to establish an enhanced electronic health record.

The present invention provides a system and method for determining and maintaining a concentration level of medication in a patient sufficient to achieve and maintain a desired effect on that patient. Generally speaking, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a medication delivery controller uses a patient response profile to determine a concentration of medication in the patient that will achieve the desired effect on the patient. The patient response profile is a graphical, tabular or analytical expression of the relationship between the concentration of a medication and the effect of the medication at the specific concentration. Using this information, the medication delivery controller provides instructions to a medication delivery unit such as, for example, an infusion pump or inhalation device, to deliver the medication to the patient at a rate that will achieve the desired concentration level of the medication in the patient.

The disclosure herein provides methods, systems, and devices for managing, transferring, modifying, converting and/or tracking medical files and/or medical system messages. In certain embodiments, the foregoing may generally be based on requesting medical files at a first medical facility, identifying the requested medical files at a second medical facility, initiating a secure network connection between the first and second medical facility, modifying a header portion of the medical files based on patient identification information created by the first medical facility, and other processing steps.

A server for facilitating an electronic health record system. Each patient has a unique smart card. A processor: associates a security token with a patient; generates a one-time-use security code for storage based upon a security token; provides the one-time-use security code to the patient for storage on the smart card; applies two-factor authentication with the one-time-use security code for each login to a personal health record website presented by the processor; imports and exports the electronic health records associated with the patient based upon a request from the patient received through the personal health record website; generates a new one-time-use security code after each patient session based upon the respective security token; and provides the new one-time-use security code to the patient for storage on the smart card so that the personal health record website is accessed therewith.

A system and method of increasing digital pathology productivity is provided. The system accepts case information from a plurality of sources and pre-processes that information in order to present the slides in an order and orientation dictated by preference and/or reviewing standard. Upon application of the system and method, the appearance and behavior of the user interface is optimized for the user.

A workflow system includes a workflow unit (8), a location unit (10), and a display device (12). The workflow unit (8) identifies and tracks patient assessment and patient vital signs for a plurality of patients each assigned to at least one caregiver according to a schedule for each patient. The location unit (10) receives a location of each assigned caregiver and a location of each patient. The display device (12) displays grouped, caregiver centric, acuity adapted, clinical data, and crucial timing information for each patient in a consistent format as well as a name and the location of the patient, a caregiver name and the caregiver location for each assigned caregiver.

A system and method for collecting, communicating, displaying, and/or analyzing data from multiple medical devices is disclosed. The system includes a local data collection module and a number of medical device adapters. The medical device adapters are coupled to respective medical devices via hardwired connections to receive data from the respective medical devices. The medical device adapters wirelessly transmit the data to the local data collection module. The local data collection module communicates the data received from the medical device adapters to an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system for automatic entry of at least some of the data in the electronic medical record of a patient associated with the medical devices.
