Method and system for accessing healthcare information using an anatomic user interface
First Claim
1. A computer-readable medium having a computer-executable component for enabling a user to access healthcare information, the computer-executable component comprising:
- an anatomic user interface for displaying an anatomic model from which the user selects an anatomic structure of interest, wherein upon selection of the anatomic structure, the anatomic user interface displays the healthcare information that is associated with the selected anatomic structure.

Abstract
An anatomic user interface (58) is provided for accessing healthcare information for a patient at the point of care. The anatomic user interface (58) generates an anatomic model (402) of the patient from which a practitioner drills down to and selects a particular anatomic structure for which healthcare information is to be accessed. The anatomic user interface obtains standard reference anatomic information and patient-specific anatomic information from an anatomic data model (84) and uses this information to generate an anatomic model (402) that accurately represents the anatomy of the patient. Once the practitioner selects a particular anatomic structure of the patient, a constraint engine (82) identifies the healthcare information associated with the selected anatomic structure as constrained by outside factors impacting accepted medical practice and returns it to the anatomic user interface (58) for display. In one actual embodiment of the present invention, the healthcare information accessed by the practitioner is healthcare diagnosis and services information. In this embodiment, the practitioner uses the anatomic user interface (58) to drill down to a particular anatomic structure of the patient and order healthcare services to be applied to the structure. The order is then forwarded to a service provider via an order engine (86).
