Patent Images
1. A system for automatically launching electronic messages for treating patients in a center having at least two distinct network destinations, each destination with persons or facilities to treat the patients, the system comprising:
- a processor;
a memory in communication with the processor;
a plurality of possible characterizations of ailments residing in the memory;
a plurality of message templates residing in the memory;
association data that associates at least some of the possible characterizations with at least some of the message templates; and
an operator module for inputting a learned characterization of an ailment of an incoming patient, in whichif one of the possible characterizations is matched with the learned characterization, at least two different ones of the message templates associated with the matched characterization are looked up automatically from the association data in response to learning the characterization, andat least two different draft messages are caused to be prepared automatically for transmission, the messages prepared using the looked up message templates, the transmission being to the two distinct network destinations for preparing the persons or facilities at the destinations to treat the incoming patient according to the ailment.

24. A computer-implemented process for use in a communications system for automatically launching electronic messages for treating patients in a center having at least two distinct network destinations, each destination with persons or facilities to treat the patients, the system having a processor, a memory in communication with the processor, a plurality of possible characterizations of ailments residing in the memory, a plurality of message templates residing in the memory, association data residing in the memory that associates at least some of the possible characterizations with at least some of the message templates, the computer-implemented process comprising:
-
inputting a learned characterization of an ailment of an incoming patient; if one of the possible characterizations is matched with the learned characterization, looking up at least two different ones of the message templates associated with the matched characterization from the association data in response to learning the characterization; and causing to be prepared for transmission at least two different draft messages using the looked up message templates, the transmission being to the two distinct network destinations for preparing the persons or facilities at the destinations to treat the incoming patient according to the ailment.
