METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR THE COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPMENT AND DISCOVERY OF WEB-BASED CLINICAL PATHWAYS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for the collaborative creation and maintenance of electronic clinical pathways, the method comprising the computer-implemented steps of:
- receiving a request for one or more clinical pathways from a user;
displaying the requested one or more clinical pathways to the user;
updating one or more nodes on the displayed one or more clinical pathways, wherein each of the one or more nodes has content from at least one source;
storing the updated one or more clinical pathways;
identifying members from one or more networks to revise the updated one or more clinical pathways;
submitting the updated one or more clinical pathways to the identified members;
receiving a revised one or more clinical pathways from the identified member;
notifying the user about the availability of the revised one or more clinical pathways; and
displaying the revised one or more clinical pathways to the user.

Abstract
A method and system to facilitate the collaborative development and discovery of evidence-based, clinical pathways. Clinicians, medical professionals or researchers, may use the Platform to build and find clinical pathways through a graphical interface, creating relational data records between steps in pathways. Further, users of the Platform may be able to associate relevant content such as published evidence, supplemental content items (e.g., videos, images, documents, ICD-11, CPT, SNOMED Clinical Terms, and external web pages), and other associated pathways which reside in the system'"'"'s database. Users of the Platform may be able organize themselves into groups and networks to develop single pathways collaboratively. Users may be able to find specific pathways in the Platform through semantic search, querying for relationships which exist inside of individual pathways. Search results may be generated for a variety of user driven data, both explicit and implicit.

7. A computer-implemented method for dynamically ranking search results for clinical pathways, the method comprising the computer-implemented steps of:
-
receiving a request for one or more clinical pathways from a user, wherein the request contains one or more search terms; submitting the request as queries to one or more databases associated with objects of clinical pathways; querying the one or more databases for ranking criteria for the requested one or more clinical pathways; receiving the ranking criteria from the one or more databases; ranking results from the queries based on the received ranking criteria; and displaying the ranked results to the user. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-implemented method for visually comparing at least two clinical pathways, the method comprising the computer-implemented steps of:
-
receiving a request for a first clinical pathways from a user; receiving a request for a second clinical pathway from a user; displaying nodes for the first clinical pathway to the user; displaying nodes for the second clinical pathway to the user; comparing the nodes from the first clinical pathway with the nodes from the second clinical pathway; and highlighting differences and similarities from the comparison with one or more colors. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
