METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DATA RECORDING, TRACKING, AND ANALYSIS IN CRITICAL RESULTS MEDICAL COMMUNICATION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of implementing a medical critical results communication, comprising:
- receiving an identification and a classification of a finding of criticality on a patient, from a health care provider sender, and storing said identification and said classification of said finding in a database of a computer system;
creating a critical results communication in said database, using a processor of the computer system;
transmitting said critical results communication to a recipient by a predetermined electronic mode of communication using the computer system;
receiving an acknowledgement from said recipient that said critical results communication was received and storing said acknowledgement in said database;
receiving feedback and/or initiation of clinical intervention and a follow-up action from said recipient, storing said feedback and/or initiation of clinical intervention and said follow-up action in said database;
transmitting said feedback and/or initiation of clinical intervention and follow-up action to said health care provider sender in a response from said recipient;
receiving diagnostic confirmation from said recipient and/or said healthcare provider sender, regarding the patient, and storing said diagnostic confirmation in said database;
performing an analysis of critical results data in said database using said processor, and performing an analysis of compliance with stored established medical standards; and
providing said critical results data analysis and said compliance analysis to said at least health care provider sender.
