Method for horizontal integration and research of information of medical records utilizing HIPPA compliant internet protocols, workflow management and static/dynamic processing of information
First Claim
1. A method for workflow management in a healthcare provider setting by maintaining separate static and dynamic information, comprising the steps of:
- providing health care providers with a workflow management user interface including, a patient data entry form, and a form selector allowing selective display and editing of a library of patient transaction forms including any one from among a group consisting of a History &
Physical Exam, Admission Medication Order, Daily SOAP Note, Daily Sign Out, Nursing Report, Discharge Orders, Printed Prescriptions, and Discharge Summary;
identifying data entered onto any one of said forms as dynamic data; and
changing the identification of said dynamic data to static data upon first-to-occur of approval by an authorized healthcare provider or passage of a predetermined period of time; and
assimilating preexisting data from the database and displaying said data graphically in context on any one of said library of patient transaction forms with dynamic data indicated thereon.

Abstract
A system for management of patient data and simplifying the workflow of attending physicians, residents, nurses, etc. The system is implemented in three software modules: 1) a workflow management module for information entry, manipulation and output (workflow forms management); 2) a query module for data research; and 3) a billing module for medical billing coding. The three modules are constructed atop a foundation comprising a specific relational database design using a segregated static database (containing past day or approved information) and a dynamic database (containing current day unapproved information). The status of dynamic data is changed to static approval by an attending, or lapse of time. The information in the dynamic database is combined with the static to populate a workflow static/dynamic formset including Discharge Summaries, Admission/Daily Notes (with date ranges), Labs, Radiology, Other Information, Prescriptions (Medications filled versus prescribed), and Discharge Orders/Paperwork. This system method more nearly conforms to and automatically fulfills the workflow requirements of attending providers.

11. A system for workflow management in a healthcare provider setting comprising:
-
a application service provider (ASP) server system for dynamically storing patient information entered by a healthcare provider;
an SQL data server for populating a first SQL database with the dynamic data, and for populating a second SQL database by moving said dynamic data therein as static data upon first-to-occur of acceptance by an authorized healthcare provider or passage of a predetermined period of time; and
a library of portable document transaction forms stored in binary in the SQL database;
whereby data is assimilated from said first and second SQL databases and is displayed graphically in context of said library of patient transaction forms with dynamic data indicated thereon. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for third party operation of a unified patient record workflow system for entry and management of patient data, and simplifying the workflow of attending physicians, residents, nurses and other providers, comprising a network architecture including an information server running a relational database, and software including a workflow management module comprising a graphical user interface for allowing information entry, manipulation and output specifically for workflow forms management;
- a query module for allowing data research; and
a billing module for medical billing coding.
