Abstract

Computer-implemented methods, systems and computer-storage media that provide a link to a clinical decision support event interface are described. Clinical information for a patient is received and compared against one or more rules associated with a clinical decision support even. It is determined whether at least one of the rules associated with the clinical decision support event have been satisfied based on the clinical information. A clinical decision support event user interface is generated for presentation utilizing the clinical information for the patient. The user interface includes at least a portion of the clinical information for the patient and clinical advice based on the clinical information for the patient. A link to the user interface is displayed to a user.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for providing a link to a clinical decision support event interface, the method comprising:

receiving clinical information for a patient;

comparing the clinical information against one or more rules associated with a clinical decision support event;

determining that at least one of the rules associated with the clinical decision support event have been satisfied based on the clinical information;

generating a clinical decision support event user interface for presentation utilizing the clinical information for the patient, the user interface including at least a portion of the clinical information for the patient and clinical advice based on the clinical information for the patient; and

displaying a link to the user interface to a user.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein link to the user interface is an HMTL hyperlink.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

receiving selection of the link from the user; and

displaying the user interface to the user.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the clinical information for the patient is received from an electronic medical record for the patient.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the clinical advice comprises a recommendation to perform at least one clinical action.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the hyperlink may be a reference or navigation element.

7. The method of 6, wherein the hyperlink is associated with a patient in a list of patients.

8. One or more computer-storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for presenting one or more user interfaces for displaying a listing of patients who have qualified for a clinical decision support event and a linking area linking at least one patient from the listing of a plurality of patients to a user interface for the related clinical decision support event, the one or more user interfaces comprising:

a patient list area having listing a plurality of patients, the patients listed having clinical information that satisfies at least one of rule associated with a clinical decision support event; and

a link area linking a patient from the listing of a plurality of patient to the user interface for the patient for the related clinical decision support event, the user interface including at least a portion of clinical information for the patient and clinical advice based on the clinical information for the patient.

9. The computer-storage media of claim 8, wherein the user interface further comprises:

a clinical decision support event status area for displaying the status of the clinical decision support event for at least one patient of the listing of a plurality of patients.

10. The computer-storage media of claim 9, wherein the status of the clinical decision support event is whether the clinical decision support event has been performed for the patient.

11. The computer-storage media of claim 10, wherein if the clinical decision support event has been performed for the patient, the status area displays the outcome of the clinical decision support event for the patient.

12. The computer-storage media of claim 8, wherein the user interface is displayed on a monitor or other display device.

13. The computer-storage media of claim 8, wherein link area comprises an HMTL hyperlink.

14. The computer-storage media of claim 13, wherein the hyperlink may be a reference or navigation element.

15. A computer-implemented method for displaying a list of patients qualifying for a clinical decision support event, the method comprising:

receiving clinical information for a patient;

comparing the clinical information against one or more rules associated with a clinical decision support event;

determining that at least one of the rules associated with the clinical decision support event have been satisfied based on the clinical information; and

displaying the patient in a list of patients who have satisfied at least one of the rules associated with the clinical decision support event;

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

generating a clinical decision support event user interface for presentation utilizing the clinical information for the patient, the user interface including at least a portion of the clinical information for the patient and clinical advice based on the clinical information for the patient.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

displaying a link to the user interface to a user within the list of patients.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the link to the user interface is an HMTL hyperlink.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the hyperlink may be a reference or navigation element.

20. The method of claim 19, further comprising:

receiving selection of the link from the user; and

displaying the clinical decision support event user interface to the user.
