System and method for managing and reconciling asynchronous patient data
First Claim
1. A method of managing asynchronous patient data in a healthcare setting comprising:
- entering into an asynchronous operation between a client device and a patient health record repository when required by a system communication need, the patient health record repository storing a source patient health record;
requesting access to a portion of the source patient health record using the client device;
opening a temporary, unresolved patient health record;
modifying the requested portion of the temporary, unresolved patient health record;
saving the modified temporary, unresolved patient health record;
establishing a synchronous connection between the client device and the patient health record repository;
submitting the temporary, unresolved patient health record to the patient health record repository for resolution;
determining whether the temporary, unresolved patient health record can be matched to the source patient health record in the patient health record repository;
creating a new source patient health record for the temporary, unresolved patient health record and deleting the temporary, unresolved patient health record if a match for the temporary, unresolved patient health record is not found in the patient health record repository; and
updating the source patient health record, and deleting the temporary, unresolved patient health record.

Abstract
A method of managing asynchronous patient data in a healthcare setting including entering into an asynchronous operation between a client device and a patient health record repository, requesting access to a portion of a source patient health record, opening a temporary, unresolved patient health record, and modifying and saving the temporary record. The method also includes establishing a subsequent synchronous connection, submitting the temporary record to the repository for resolution, determining whether the temporary record can be matched to the source record in the repository, creating a new source record for the temporary record and deleting the temporary record if a match for the temporary record is not found in the repository. The method also includes updating the source record, and deleting the temporary record.

24. A system for managing asynchronous patient data in a healthcare setting comprising:
-
means for entering into an asynchronous operation between a client device and a database when required by a system communication need, the database storing a source patient health record;
means for requesting access to a portion of the source patient health record using the client device;
means for opening a temporary, unresolved patient health record;
means for modifying the requested portion of the temporary, unresolved patient health record;
means for saving the modified temporary, unresolved patient health record;
means for submitting the temporary, unresolved patient health record to the database for resolution;
means for determining whether the temporary, unresolved patient health record can be matched to the source patient health record in database;
means for creating a new source patient health record for the temporary, unresolved patient health record and deleting the temporary, unresolved patient health record if a match for the temporary, unresolved patient health record is not found in the database;
means for updating the source patient health record; and
means for deleting the temporary, unresolved patient health record. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
