Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for associating one or more prior therapies with one or more current therapies for a patient are provided. One or more therapies a patient was taking or prescribed prior to visiting a current care venue are accessed. One or more therapies the patient is taking or has been prescribed at the current care venue for the current care venue visit are accessed. Input is received that one of the one or more prior therapies for the patient corresponds with one of the one or more current therapies for the patient. In response to receiving the input, the prior therapy is associated with the current therapy. The association of the corresponding prior therapy and the corresponding current care venue therapy is stored for the patient.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for associating one or more prior therapies with one or more current therapies, the method comprising:

accessing the identification of one or more therapies a patient was taking or prescribed prior to visiting a current care venue;

accessing one or more therapies the patient is taking or has been prescribed at the current care venue for the current care venue visit;

receiving input that one of the one or more prior therapies for the patient corresponds with one of the one or more current therapies for the patient;

in response to receiving the input, associating the corresponding prior therapy with the corresponding current therapy; and

storing the association of the corresponding prior therapy and the corresponding current care venue therapy for the patient.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

displaying on an interactive graphical user interface the one or more therapies the patient was taking prior to visiting the current care venue and the one or more therapies for the patient prescribed by the current care venue.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

grouping associated prior therapy and current therapy.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

displaying the grouped therapies on a graphical user interface.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the one or more therapies a patient was taking or prescribed prior to visiting the current care venue comprise home medications.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the one or more therapies the patient is taking or has been prescribed at the current care venue comprise medication orders at the current care venue.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

accessing the prior therapies and the current therapies from the patient'"'"'s electronic medical record.

7. The method of claim 7, wherein the one or more home medications and the one or more medication orders are for different medications utilized for the same treatment purpose.

9. A computer-implemented method for creating new therapy orders for one or more prior therapies, the method comprising:

accessing one or more therapies a patient was taking or prescribed prior to visiting a current care venue;

displaying on an interactive graphical user interface the one or more therapies the patient was taking prior to visiting the current care venue;

receiving input from a user interacting with the graphical user interface;

in response to receiving the user input, creating one or more therapy orders for the current care venue for the one or more of the prior therapies for the patient; and

storing the one or more therapy orders for the current care venue for the one or more of the prior therapies for the patient.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

associating the one or more prior therapies with the one or more therapy orders created.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

storing the association of the one or more prior therapies with the one or more therapy orders created.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

displaying a grouping of the associated one or more prior therapies with the one or more therapy orders created.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the one or more therapies a patient was taking or prescribed prior to visiting the current care venue comprise home medications.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the one or more therapies the patient is taking or has been prescribed at the current care venue comprise medication orders at the current care venue.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the one or more home medications and the one or more medication orders are for different medications utilized for the same treatment purpose.

16. The method of claim 9, further comprising storing the one or more therapy orders created in the electronic medical record of the patient.

17. The method of claim 9, wherein the one or more therapies the patient was taking or prescribed prior to visiting the current care venue are accessed from the patient'"'"'s electronic medical record.

18. One or more computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, that, when executed perform a method for associating a home medication for a patient and a medication order at a current care venue for a patient, the method comprising:

accessing the identification of one or more home medications a patient was taking or prescribed prior to visiting a current care venue;

accessing one or more medication orders for the patient from the current care venue for the current care venue visit;

receiving input that one of the one or more home medications for the patient corresponds with one of the one or more medication orders for the patient;

in response to receiving the input, associating the corresponding home medication with the corresponding medication order for the patient; and

storing the association of the corresponding home medication and the corresponding medication order for the patient.
