Characterizing States of Subject
First Claim
35. A computer-implemented method comprisingstoring information about images of a subject, content of a report that includes uniform descriptive information about a state of the subject, and elements of a decision support system useful in determining the state of the subject, the information being stored in programming objects that contain values of attributes and methods associated with the attributes.

Abstract
Among other things, a user of a browser is exposed simultaneously to three interfaces: A viewing interface for at least one image of a subject that is stored on a device on which the browser is running, a decision support interface that aids the user in determining the state of the subject based on the image, and a template interface that aids the user in capturing uniform descriptive information about the state of the subject. At least two of the viewing interface, the decision support interface, and the template interface operate cooperatively so that actions of the user with respect to one of the two interfaces causes changes in content exposed by the other of the two interfaces.

37. A computer implemented method comprising
exposing to a user through an interface of a browser, a facility for use in determining a state of a subject, based on (a) information presented to the user about attributes of the subject and (b) information about relationships between states of other subjects and attributes of the other subjects, the facility interactively guiding the user in determining the state of the subject by presenting interactive controls representing possible attributes of the state of the subject to the user, the interactive controls and the facility responding (1) to interaction by the user with the controls and (2) automatically to information about relationships between states of other subjects and attributes of other subjects provided from the app or through the browser.

64. A computer-implemented method comprising
exposing to a user through an interface of a browser, a decision support facility that uses decision support information to aid a user in expressing a state of a subject based on attributes of the subject, the user interface providing viewing features that enable a user to identify attributes of the subject for use by the decision support facility, the user interface providing a determination facility enabling the user to express the state of the subject through interactive controls, and the decision support facility using the user'"'"'s expressions of the state of the subject to provide decision support information.

85-1. The method of claim 1 comprising storing in a radiology information system (RIS) data that associates efficiency related timestamps with images for which corresponding users of the template interface have captured uniform descriptive information about the state of the subjects.
-
86-2. The method of claim 85 comprising assigning scores to users based on efficiency related timestamps of images.
-
87-3. The method of claim 1 comprising altering elements presented by the template interface to indicate to a particular user an aspect of the uniform descriptive information that requires attention by that user.
