Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to data storage and retrieval systems and user interfaces therefor, and is particularly directed to a contextually sensitive, user-centric methodology that facilitates the ability of a logged-on system user to rapidly navigate through and access one or more data domains of a medical information management system, such as a cardiovascular image and information management system, which data domains specifically pertain to the functions and responsibilities of the user.
- a medical information management system such as a cardiovascular image and information management system
- this overall information storage and management system there may be contained specific discipline-related information management systems, such as a cardiovascular image and information management system, in which information relating to all cardiology patients, procedures, diagnoses and the like is stored, and may be selectively retrieved by authorized personnel.
- applications that run on these systems have been organized on the basis of what is commonly referred to as a 'patient ' -centric paradigm.
- the user's workstation will first display a patient census; then, through the manipulation of various function buttons and icons of the application's graphic user interface, the user may proceed to 'hunt' through the patient list, in an effort to reach a target database from which desired information may be extracted and displayed.
- a fundamental drawback to such a patient-centric data retrieval process is the fact that it customarily requires the user to navigate through domains that have absolutely nothing to do with what the user is looking for.
- a respective user of the system is one to whom specific duties and functions have been assigned; as such, the user is essentially interested only in workflow information which pertains to those functions and duties. For example, a system administrator does not care about finalizing clinical reports, and a registry nurse is not concerned about inventory or scheduling patients.
- a system administrator does not care about finalizing clinical reports, and a registry nurse is not concerned about inventory or scheduling patients.
- it may be necessary for a given user to have access to more than one domain in the system it is not necessary, nor is it expedient, for each and every user to have access to every domain, such as the patient census, in order for that user to carry out his or her specific function (s) .
- a new and improved contextually sensitive, user-centric database navigation methodology that controls navigation through and provides access to one or more database domains of a medical information storage and retrieval system, such as a cardiovascular image and information management system, as a non-limiting example, based upon the specific role or function of the user.
- a medical information storage and retrieval system such as a cardiovascular image and information management system, as a non-limiting example, based upon the specific role or function of the user.
- Being user- centric, rather than patient-centric means that the methodology of the invention has a priori knowledge of the clinical duties of the user, so that it will automatically open to a workflow homepage that specifically pertains to the clinician's area of responsibility, when he or she logs on to a given application.
- the information displayed to the user comprises a contextual list of options that are germane to the user's workflow. This facilitates the ability of a logged-on system user to rapidly navigate through and access one or more data domains that are specifically relevant to the responsibilities and functions of the user, thereby improving the user's efficiency and reducing the time to complete a task, as it saves the user keystrokes and time, and effectively eliminates the frustration of trying to navigate through extraneous areas to the right place in the application.
- the tasks assigned to a given user may not depend on a patient census at all.
- the system administrator will have designated the user's role and permissions when the user was first entered into the system as a new user. Also, the system administrator may add functions to a user's role, that will allow a user to navigate to additional areas of an application, as necessary.
- a workstation having access to user-centric information management system navigation and access routine of the present invention provides communication between the workstation and a Hospital Information System (HIS) , in which patient- associated information (such as medical history, demographics, insurance information, indicated physical symptoms, etc.) is captured by hospital reception personnel, when a patient is initially checked into the healthcare facility for medical evaluation and treatment.
- HIS Hospital Information System
- patient-associated information such as medical history, demographics, insurance information, indicated physical symptoms, etc.
- the user-centric information management system navigation and access routine of the present invention is readily able to provide the user with currently available information associated with every patient and any diagnosis or procedure performed.
- the computer network communicates with diagnostic and test equipment, through which symptomology parameter information of patients, and diagnostic information, that may indicate the need to schedule a procedure, may be obtained. Similarly, once a diagnosis has been completed and a procedure is scheduled, all information relating to the procedure, including the type of procedure, operating physician and attending staff, date of the procedure, the name of the patient on whom the procedure is to be performed, etc. is recorded and stored in the information system.
- the present description will address the manner in which the user-centric methodology of the invention streamlines the ability of a plurality of specifically identified types of users, whose clinical responsibilities are different from one another, to navigate through one or more data domains of a cardiovascular image and information management system. It should be understood, however, that although the invention will be described with respect to its application to the cardiology field, it is applicable to other specialties, such as, but not limited to radiology, oncology, orthopedics, etc.
- the respectively different types of users, for whom associated user-centric functions will be described, include, but are not limited to, a physician, a holding area nurse, a clinician (lab tech) , a scheduler, an Information Technologist or Chief Information Officer, a system administrator, a department administrator, a registry nurse, and a chief executive of the medical facility.
- the basic functions which may be generally performed by respectively different ones of the users include but are not limited to: scheduling; generating reports (clinical, administrative, financial) ; statistics (charge capture, Morbidity /Mortality reports, departmental supplies utilization, etc.); broken study tools; patient locator/search tools; registries/research datapoints; system status monitoring; and audit logs.
- a subroutine associated with that particular class of user will cause the user's workstation to automatically display a workflow homepage for that user.
- the system administrator will have designated the user's role and permissions when the user was first entered into the system as a new user.
- This a priori known role or class of the logged-on user serves to automatically display the appropriate workflow homepage screen for the user, which contains the roles or functions of a specific class of user, the tasks which that user performs in the discharge of his/her duties, and the features and functions in the application that relate to that particular user's respective needs.

- the invention resides primarily in a set of contextually sensitive, user workflow and database search and retrieval software, that may be loaded into and executed on a conventional computer (e.g., laptop, desktop, server, and the like) , plus associated graphic user interfaces, through which the software is controlled, with results of the execution of various subroutines of the software being displayed to a user of the system.
- the methodology of the present invention is applicable to expeditiously navigating through and retrieving a wide variety of information stored in one or more database domains of a medical service facility's information management system, and thus is not intended to be limited in its scope.
- the following description will address the application of the invention to navigating through and retrieving information stored within a cardiovascular image and information management system by a plurality of users, whose functions and responsibilities are different from one another, and therefore require access to respectively different workflow-related domains of the information management system, in the course of carrying out their assigned tasks.
- Figure 1 is a reduced complexity block diagram illustration of a computer network, such as may be installed at a facility of a healthcare provider (e.g., hospital), in which the present invention may be employed.
- a healthcare provider e.g., hospital
- the service provider computer network includes a desktop computer or workstation 10, in which the user-centric database navigation and data retrieval software of the present invention has been installed, and through which healthcare facility personnel are able to navigate among respective displayed windows of a graphics user interface and retrieve data, as necessary, in association with their predefined responsibilities and duties that require access to the network.
- the computer network in which the workstation 10 is installed includes a link 11 between the workstation and a Hospital Information System (HIS) 20, in which patient-associated information (such as medical history, demographics, insurance information, indicated physical symptoms (such as crushing chest pain, dizziness, fainting, chest palpitations), etc.) is captured by hospital reception personnel, when a patient is initially checked into the healthcare facility for medical evaluation and treatment.
- HIS Hospital Information System
- patient-associated information such as medical history, demographics, insurance information, indicated physical symptoms (such as crushing chest pain, dizziness, fainting, chest palpitations), etc.
- the computer network includes a link 12 to diagnostic and test equipment 30, through which symptomology parameter information of patients, and diagnostic information, that may indicate the need to schedule a procedure, may be obtained.
- relevant information relating to the procedure including the type of procedure, operating physician and attending staff, date of the procedure, the name of the patient on whom the procedure is to be performed, etc. is recorded and stored in the HIS.
- Figure 2 diagrammatically shows a set of nine different classes of users of the system and a listing for each user of some of their individual job functions.
- the users include a physician 201, a holding area nurse 202, a clinician (lab tech) 203, a scheduler 204, an Information Technologist or Chief Information Officer 205, a system administrator 206, a department administrator 207, a registry nurse 208, and a senior executive of the hospital (CXO) 209.
- a generic function block 210 that lists a set of basic functions which may be generally performed by respectively different ones of the users 201-209. These include: scheduling; generating reports (clinical, administrative, financial) ; statistics (charge capture, (see above clarifications) M/M, dept .
- Figure 2 further shows a user login function 212, which, by virtue of the fact that the present invention is user-centric, is operative to automatically call up and display the functions listed for the particular one of the users 201-209, as represented by the respective arrows emanating from the user login block 211 to the user blocks 201-209, when that user logs on to the system.
- a user login function 212 which, by virtue of the fact that the present invention is user-centric, is operative to automatically call up and display the functions listed for the particular one of the users 201-209, as represented by the respective arrows emanating from the user login block 211 to the user blocks 201-209, when that user logs on to the system.
- the user login block 211 of Figure 2 is more particularly depicted in the illustration of the graphic user interface of Figure 3, which shows respective components that are displayed by a logon screen on the user's workstation.
- the logon screen of Figure 3 is shown as containing a login button 301, and exit button 302 and traditional user name and password fields 303 and 304, respectively.
- the system administrator will have designated the user's role and permissions when the user was first entered into the system as a new user. This a priori known role of the logged-on user serves to automatically display the appropriate workflow-displaying homepage screen for the user, as will be described.
- Figure 4 shows the homepage that is displayed by the workstation's display screen, for the case that the user logged into the system is a physician/cardiologist (shown at 401) , whose functions include those listed in block 201 in Figure 2, described above, and repeated in the function block 402 in Figure 4.
- the workflow diagram of Figure 4 graphically illustrates the roles or functions of a specific type of user, the tasks which that user performs in the discharge of his/her duties, and the features and functions in the application that relate to that particular user's respective needs.
- Figure 4 contains a workflow diagram that has commonality for both an interventional cardiologist and a non- interventional cardiologist.
- Non-interventional cardiologists include physicians who perform echocardiology studies, nuclear medicine studies, non-invasive peripheral vascular examinations, and doctors who read EKG and holter exams. This type of physician often sits at a desk and uses a worklist to maximize his/her efficiency during the day. In other words, the non-interventional cardiologist can be expected to sit at a computer workstation, and read/interpret examination reports that have been prepared for them by technicians or interns in residence. Interventional physicians, on the other hand, are not worklist-driven, but move from one procedure to the next, and having to complete procedural reports rapidly before the next case starts. In spite of these differences, these two types of physicians have commonalities in their individual routines or functions, as depicted in Figure 4. These tasks include scheduling 411, unread studies 412, annotating and finalizing studies 413, patient searching 414, reviewing statistics
- the physician may view a schedule or select a schedule item, as shown at 421. From the schedule function 421, the physician may proceed to call up a screen showing patient history, via a single click on the displayed patient name, as shown at 431, or double click to open a study home page, as shown at 432.
- Invoking the unread studies function 412 causes a list of unread studies to be automatically displayed, and the physician may select from the displayed list, as shown at 422. Again, the physician may suitably single or double click to state 431 or state 432.
- the physician may have the studies automatically displayed for selection as shown at 423, from which the physician may selectively single or double click to state 431 or state 432.
- Invoking the patient search function 414 provides the physician with a patient list and displayed search criteria from which the physician may select for study, as shown at 424. Again, the physician may suitably single or double click to state 431 or state 432.
- the work flow proceeds to the statistics screen and filters the results for the currently logged-on physician, as shown at 425, and allows the physician to select from an array of stored reports or to query the builder, as shown at state 435.
- the folders function at 416 the work flow proceeds to open a selected folder at 426, and allows the physician to view a patient folder or drag and drop new studies into the folder, as shown at state 436.
- CMS Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services
- Such a routine is preferably of the type described in co-pending U.S. Patent Application, Serial No. *** r filed on even date herewith, by John F.
- VOMN function 417 When the VOMN function 417 is invoked, the work flow proceeds to the VOMN screen, an example of which is shown in Figure 5C, and filters the results for the currently logged-on user, as shown at 427, so that the physician may view his/her patient data, or view patients having missing data, so that any missing data may be accessed and stored pursuant to the functionality of the VOMN routine, and then allow the VOMN data to be exported or saved to an auxiliary storage, such as a compact disc, as shown at 437.
- auxiliary storage such as a compact disc
- Figure 5 shows an example of a physician's logon screen that may be displayed on the physician's workstation, in the course of the physician navigating through one or more functions of the workflow diagram of the physician's homepage screen of Figure 4.
- a selected patient has been highlighted at 502 by the physician, so that the physician may document the case currently in progress; also displayed are a "patient information" field 503, a "finalize studies” field 504, and a "user messages/to do” field 505.
- any of these or other displayed functions may be readily performed by the physician with a single mouse click after logging on.
- Figure 5A shows an example of a screen displaying patient search information, such as may be generated when invoking the patient search function at 414
- Figure 5B shows an example of a screen displaying export study information, such as may be generated in the course of saving the results of a finalized study.
- Figure 6 shows the homepage that is displayed by the workstation's display screen, where the user logged into the system is a holding area nurse (shown at 601) , whose functions include those listed in block 202 in Figure 2, described above, and repeated in the function block 602 in Figure 6.
- Figure 6A shows various examples of screen fields of a holding area nurse's logon screen.
- a holding area nurse is involved with patients in catheterization (cath) , echo, electrophysiology (EP) , peripheral vascular (PV) and nuclear medicine labs, who are prepared for a procedure in a holding area. This is especially true for cath and EP labs, where the patient is received, shaved, prepped, sedated, and IVs are inserted pre-procedurally, and where arterial hemostasis occurs post-procedurally. Holding nurses must chart the patient, assess the patient on Aldrete or ASA scores, and report the patient's conscious sedation under mandate of many state laws.
- the functions that may be performed by a holding nurse include scheduling 611, pre-procedural charting of patients 612, intra-procedural charting of patients 613, post-procedural charting of patients 614, checking whether there are any incomplete registry fields 615, dosage calculation 616, patient search 617, and messaging 618.
- the scheduling function 611 When the scheduling function 611 is invoked, the current day's schedule, grouped by work area/department, for the logged-on holding nurse, is called up and displayed on the holding nurse's workstation's display screen, as shown at 621.
- Invoking the pre-proceduring patients function 612 causes a list of all monitored and scheduled patients awaiting a procedure to be displayed, as shown at 622. By clicking on a particular patient in the list, the holding nurse may open that patient's study folder to begin charting, as shown at 632.
- Invoking the intra-proceduring patients function 613 causes a list of all monitored patients in the acute care area (Cath/EP/PV/Stress Labs) to be displayed, as shown at 623.
- the holding nurse may open that patient's study folder to continue charting, as shown at 633.
- Invoking the post-proceduring patients function 614 causes a list of all monitored patients post procedure to be displayed, as shown at 624.
- the holding nurse may open that patient's study folder to continue charting, as shown at 634.
- Figure 7 shows the workflow homepage that is displayed by the workstation's display screen, where the user logged into the system is a clinician or lab tech (shown at 701) , whose functions include those listed in block 203 in Figure 2, described above, and repeated in the function block 702 in Figure 7.
- the primary task of procedural documentation during a cardiac catheterization, echocardiology, electrophysiology, vascular or nuclear medicine exam falls to the lab technicians who, along with the nurses, are the workhorses in the patient charting world. Physicians always review their notes, add findings, complications, and interpretations, but the lab techs perform an indispensable and vital documentation function.
- the functions that may be performed by a lab technician include scheduling 711, new study (admitting) 712, patient search 713, and messaging 714.
- scheduling function 711 When the scheduling function 711 is invoked, the current day's schedule, grouped by work area/department/physician, for the logged-on clinician, is called up and displayed on the lab tech's workstation, as shown at 721.
- new study function 712 by clicking on a new study button, opens the patients' demographics search dialog, as shown at 722. The user may then select a search key, as shown at 732, and supply search criteria and select a patient from a displayed list. The user then proceeds to state 742, to start a new study, and open an ID screen.
- the case is then documented at 733.
- Invoking the patient search function 713 opens the patient search screen, as shown at 723.
- the case is then documented at 733.
- the last function is an optional messaging function 714. If included, then when invoked, it will cause the current e-mail count to be displayed, as shown at 715.
- the lab tech may then proceed to click on the e-mail open button, so open the web based mail viewer, which causes login credentials to be supplied automatically, as shown at 716.
- Figure 8 shows the workflow homepage that is displayed by the workstation's display screen, where the user logged into the system is a scheduler (shown at 801) , whose functions include those listed in block 204 in Figure 2, described above, and repeated in the function block 802 in Figure 8.
- the first point of entry with any procedure is getting it scheduled in the system.
- the scheduler may be in the hospital, a unit, or in a remote setting, such as a doctor's office.
- the user-centric methodology of the invention employs web-based communications, thereby allowing a physician's office nurse to log on remotely, find an opening in the schedule, and schedule the physician and the patient for the case.
- functions that may be performed by a scheduler include viewing the schedule 811, scheduling a new patient procedure 812, having the physician read the schedule 813, personnel scheduling 814, and resource scheduling 815.
- the view schedule function 811 When the view schedule function 811 is invoked, the current day's schedule, grouped by work area/department/physician, for the logged-on scheduler, is called up and displayed on the scheduler's workstation, as shown at 821. To schedule a new patient procedure (function 812) , the scheduler clicks on the displayed function, to open a new event tool. If the scheduler is a physician's employee, the available time slots in the schedule are filtered according to a prescribed rules engine, as shown at 822. The identity of the patient may be located from a patient list, based on input search criteria; where the patient is found in the list, the workflow moves to state 832 - patient found.
- a new record is created at state 836, and the patient's demographic data is forwarded to the Hospital Information System (HIS) to update the HIS database, at state 837.
- HIS Hospital Information System
- a new scheduled event is created at 838, and an order for the procedure is sent to the HIS, at 839.
- physician's preference card with procedure requirements is displayed, at state 846. This generates a prompt for pre-requisite tests from the physician's preferences, at 847.
- the scheduler is instructed to verify insurability or to write an Advance Beneficiary Notice at 848 so the patient can arrange financing to pay for the procedure.
- the physician's reading schedule function 813 When the physician's reading schedule function 813 is invoked, a calendar with the reader of the day for each modality is displayed by an on-click, as shown at 823.
- the reader's schedule may be modified at 833, by using the workstation's mouse to drag and drop physicians from the displayed list.
- reader rules are supplied to inbound interfaces, and studies are routed by modality, and by day to the correct reader's worklist.
- the personnel scheduling function 814 When the personnel scheduling function 814 is invoked, the user may drag and drop specific personnel to a specific study or assign personnel to a specific room, as shown at state 824. The user may then click on a specific study to view whether any special equipment is required, as shown at 834.
- the scheduler may drag and drop resources (e.g., special equipment) to a specific study, as shown at 816. The user may then click on a specific study to view whether any special equipment is required, as shown at 835 and, if special equipment is required, the user invokes an icon to provide a visual prompt to show such a need.
- resources e.g., special equipment
- Figure 9 shows the IT logon screen that is displayed by the workstation's display screen, while Figure 9A shows the associated workflow, where the user logged into the system is an information technologist (IT) or CIO (shown at 901) , whose functions include those listed in block 205 in Figure 2, described above, and repeated in the function block 902 in Figure 9A.
- IT information technologist
- CIO shown at 901
