Abstract

A computer implemented method for displaying patient medical data during an interaction between a patient and a healthcare provider. The method includes receiving an identification of a patient at an electronic medical record server and transmitting patient medical data from an electronic medical record associated with the identified patient to the healthcare provider computing device. The method further includes identifying a location of the provider computing device, transmitting an activation key to a secondary display device for display on the secondary display device, and receiving confirmation from the healthcare provider computing device that the activation key was entered into the healthcare provider computing device. Following activation, the method includes displaying information from the electronic medical record on the secondary display based on a command received from the healthcare provider computing device.

Claims

1. A computer implemented system for displaying patient medical data during an interaction between a patient and a healthcare provider, comprising:

a healthcare provider computing device configured to receive identification of a patient;

a secondary display device; and

an electronic medical record system server configured to

receive an identification of the patient transmitted from the healthcare provider computing device and provide access to patient medical data in an electronic medical record through the healthcare provider computing device, and

display information from the electronic medical record on the secondary display based on a command received from the healthcare provider computing device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the electronic medical record system is configured to transmit an activation key to the secondary display device for display on the secondary display device.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the provider computing device is configured to require entry of the activation key prior to displaying information from the electronic medical record on the secondary display.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the information is medical image data and the medical image data is displayed on the provider computing device as well as the secondary display device.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the provider computing device is configured to provide an annotation toolset for making modifications to the medical image data.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein modifications to the medical image data on the provider computing device are transmitted to the electronic medical record system server for storage in the electronic medical record.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein modifications to the medical image data are displayed on the secondary display based on a selection by the user of the provider computing device.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the secondary display device also provides an annotation toolset for making modifications to the medical image data.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the provider computing device is configured to display a treatment plan template including a plurality of selectable treatment plan events and selection of a treatment plan event transmits a signal to the electronic medical record system server to display the treatment plan event on the secondary display device.

10. A computer implemented method for displaying patient medical data during an interaction between a patient and a healthcare provider, comprising:

receiving an identification of a patient at an electronic medical record server;

transmitting patient medical data from an electronic medical record associated with the identified patient to the healthcare provider computing device;

identifying a location of the provider computing device;

transmitting an activation key to a secondary display device for display on the secondary display device;

receiving confirmation from the healthcare provider computing device that the activation key was entered into the healthcare provider computing device; and

displaying information from the electronic medical record on the secondary display based on a command received from the healthcare provider computing device.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the information is medical image data and the medical image data is displayed on the provider computing device as well as the secondary display device.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the provider computing device is configured to provide an annotation toolset for making modifications to the medical image data.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein modifications to the medical image data on the provider computing device are transmitted to the electronic medical record system server for storage in the electronic medical record.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein modifications to the medical image data are displayed on the secondary display based on a selection by the user of the provider computing device.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the secondary display device also provides an annotation toolset for making modifications to the medical image data

16. The method of claim 10, wherein the provider computing device is configured to display a treatment plan template including a plurality of selectable treatment plan events and selection of a treatment plan event transmits a signal to the electronic medical record system server to display the treatment plan event on the secondary display device.

17. A computer implemented method for displaying patient medical data during an interaction between a patient and a healthcare provider, comprising:

receiving an identification of a patient at an electronic medical record server;

transmitting patient medical data from an electronic medical record associated with the identified patient to the healthcare provider computing device;

identifying a location of the provider computing device;

identifying a secondary display device based on the location of the provider computing device; and

displaying information from the electronic medical record on the secondary display based on a command received from the healthcare provider computing device.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the information is medical image data and the medical image data is displayed on the provider computing device as well as the secondary display device.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the provider computing device is configured to provide an annotation toolset for making modifications to the medical image data.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein modifications to the medical image data on the provider computing device are transmitted to the electronic medical record system server for storage in the electronic medical record.

21. The method of claim 20, wherein modifications to the medical image data are displayed, on the secondary display based on a selection by the user of the provider computing device.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein the secondary display device also provides an annotation toolset for making modifications to the medical image data.

23. The method of claim 17, wherein the provider computing device is configured to display a treatment plan template including a plurality of selectable treatment plan events and selection of a treatment plan event transmits a signal to the electronic medical record system server to display the treatment plan event on the secondary display device.
