GB2627168A - Shadow charts to collate and interact with past, present, and future health records - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention includes a method to collate, organize, display, and interact with past, present, and future health data related to a patient. When the health data is related to anatomy, the health data is automatically visualized with relevant locations, images, diagrams, and maps along with interactive anatomic points or distributions containing context-aware information related to the anatomy, specialty, diagnosis, procedure, language, or other data. The present invention uses healthcare data in digital shadow charts, or paper shadow charts, or both, to create a comprehensive record and to seamlessly blend paper and electronic documentation. The charts automatically collate past, current, and future healthcare data that are automatically linked.to anatomic maps and healthcare data for visualization, modification, augmentation, and automation of healthcare record generation, and retrieval. Shadow charts collate and display information from dynamic anatomic addresses, data blocks, and metadata blocks on an anatomic map translated to user language, with recreated anatomic sites and health data. Automated workflows such as prescription refills, suggested diagnostic tests, flag areas of concern for follow up, etc. are included on the shadow chart.

Claims (20)

1. A method for interacting with electronic records, the method comprising: creating a shadow chart or shadow form by compiling data into a plurality of templates; interacting with a shadow chart or shadow form wherein the shadow chart or shadow form has at least one anatomic diagram and data relevant to a particular patient; translating interactions into new or modified context aware data; generating and/or updating electronic records with the data compiled from the translated data; generating and/or updating descriptions for anatomic sites and for context aware data on the shadow chart based on the translated data; and creating updated shadow charts or shadow forms with the translated data and associated descriptions.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the shadow chart or shadow form is in digital form, physical form, or both, and interactions are in digital form, physical form, or both.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising modifying the translated data and generated and/or updated descriptions through selection, filters, and interactions modifiers.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the method is a loop so that new or updated relevant data is incorporated into the records.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the data includes anatomy information, patient information, anatomy visualizations, and/or other context aware data.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein select diagrams can be hidden or modified when relevant or irrelevant to a particular context.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the physical shadow chart has a code that supplies additional information about the shadow chart when the digital image is processed with computer vision.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the data includes past, present, and/or future practitioner information, patient demographics, encounter information, patient history, results and reports, schedule calendar data, multimedia and images, financial and billing data, cosmetic and purchase data, and/or other relevant data.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the data includes anatomical and non-anatomical data.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein the shadow chart or shadow form has various anatomic diagrams in various perspectives.

11. A system for creating and updating electronic records, the system comprising: a central information management system operable to store a multitude of records; context aware data wherein the context aware data is relevant to a desired record contained in the central information management system; a shadow chart or shadow form wherein the shadow chart or shadow form includes relevant data; a shadow chart or shadow form that can be interacted with; at least one computer processor configured to at least: translate interactions with a shadow chart or shadow form into detected data; process the detected data; categorize the detected data; generate and/or translate new or updated records, shadow charts, and/or shadow forms;

12. The system of claim 11 wherein the shadow chart or shadow form is in digital form, physical form, or both, and interactions are in digital form, physical form, or both.

13. The system of claim 11 wherein the generated and/or translated data includes anatomy information, patient information, and/or anatomy visualizations.

14. The system of claim 11 wherein the generated and/or translated data are created through selection, filters, and interactions modifiers.

15. The system of claim 11 wherein select diagrams can be hidden or modified when relevant or irrelevant to a particular context.

16. The system of claim 11 wherein the physical shadow chart has a code that supplies additional information about the shadow chart when the digital image is processed with computer vision.

17. The system of claim 11 wherein the whitespace and documentation space on a physical shadow chart or physical shadow form validates and applies context awareness.

18. The system of claim 11 wherein the physical shadow chart interactions are captured, processed, and applied in a context aware manner.

19. The system of claim 11 wherein the data includes past, present, and future practitioner information, patient demographics, encounter information, patient history, results and reports, schedule calendar data, multimedia and images, financial and billing data, cosmetic and purchase data, and/or other relevant data.

20. The system of claim 11 wherein anatomy specific alerts are visualized in a shadow chart.
