Abstract

A computer-implemented method for adaptively supporting medical decisions of at least one user includes receiving a first input from a first device, receiving a second input from a second device, determining a suggested medical decision based at least in part on the first input and the second input, and transferring the suggested medical decision to the second device.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for adaptively supporting medical decisions of at least one user, the method comprising:

receiving a first input from a first device;

receiving a second input from a second device;

determining a suggested medical decision based at least in part on the first input and the second input; and

transfer the suggested medical decision to the second device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first device is an automated patient monitoring device.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first device is a patient input device.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first device is a nurse input device.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the second device is a physician input device.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a medical decision input from the second device based at least in part on the suggested medical decision.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the suggested medical decision includes a diagnosis.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the suggested medical decision includes an order.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein transferring includes transferring a user interface including pre-selected interface controls.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the second device includes a wireless user interface device.

9. (canceled)

12. A computer-implemented method for adaptively supporting medical decisions of at least one user, the method comprising:

receiving a medical input from a user device;

determining a fist suggested decision from a first model;

determining a second suggested decision from a second model; and

transferring the first suggested decision and the second suggested decision to the user device.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the first model is trained based on input from a group of users.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the first model is associated with a particular medical specialty.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein the second model is trained based on inputs received from a particular user of the user device.

16. The method of claim 12, wherein transferring included transferring a user interface including pre-selected interface controls associated with at least one of the first suggested decision and the second suggested decision.

17. The method of claim 12, wherein the user device includes a wireless user interface device.

18. A computer-implemented method for adaptively supporting medical decisions of at least one user, the method comprising:

receiving a medical input and a medical decision from a device;

determining a suggested result based at least in part on the medical input;

comparing the medical decision to the suggested result; and

providing an indication based at least in part on comparing the medical decision to the suggested result.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the medical decision includes a coding decision.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the suggested result includes a suggested coding decision, and wherein providing the indication includes providing a coding alert.

21. The method of claim 18, wherein determining the suggested result includes accessing a model.
