Abstract

A method and system for enhanced management of patient care and communication, wherein a provider may select a pre-existing template, generate a message from the pre-existing template, search for recipients based on specific criteria, determine which recipients may receive the message based on a message type selection and the specific criteria, and then send the message to said recipients.

Claims

1. A computer operable method for enhanced management of patient care and communication, comprising the steps of:

sending a blank template or a list of pre-existing templates;

receiving a blank template or a pre-existing template selection for generating a message;

receiving a message type selection;

sending a set of search options for determining recipients contained in a patient database;

identifying a set of recipients in the patient database that match the search parameters upon the receipt of said search parameters, including whether the recipient is permitted to receive the message based on the message type selection; and

sending the message to the set of recipients based on the message type selection.

2. A computer operable method according to claim 1, wherein said method further comprises receiving an instruction to include one or more response buttons in the message and automatically generating such response buttons in the message.

3. A computer operable method according to claim 2, wherein the message type selection is a push notification, email, text message, or a combination thereof.

4. A computer operable method according to claim 3, wherein the set of search options includes gender, age range, and current medication.

5. A computer operable method according to claim 4, wherein identifying the set of recipients includes evaluating patients and any agents associated with each patient in the patient database as recipients.

6. A computer-operable method according to claim 1, wherein said method further comprises formatting the message based on the message type selection.

7. A system for enhanced management of patient care and communication, comprising:

a database component containing patient records; and

a notification/messaging component for handling messages, wherein the notification/messaging system is capable of;

generating a message from a blank template or a pre-existing template;

generating a set of search options for determining recipients contained in the patient records;

requesting the database component to identify a set of recipients based on a set of search parameters and a message type selection;

receiving the set of recipients;

formatting the message based on the message type selection; and

sending the formatted message to the set of recipients.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein said notification/messaging component is further capable of receiving an instruction to include one or more response buttons in the message and automatically generating such response buttons in the message.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the message type selection is email, text message, or both.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the set of search options includes name, gender, age range, health conditions, medical history, vitals, appointments or procedures, and current medication.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the database component is capable of identifying the set of recipients based on a set of search parameters that includes evaluating patients and any agents associated with each patient in the patient records as recipients.

12. The system of claim 7, wherein a report relating to the management of a patient'"'"'s care is generated by the notification/messaging component, and wherein the report correlates with established medical billing codes to generate a billing report.
