SYSTEM FOR REMOTE GUIDANCE OF HEALTH CARE EXAMINATIONS
First Claim
1. A method for remotely providing examination guidance, the method comprising:
- establishing a first communication link between a first computer and a node in a computer network;
querying a database containing a plurality of examination components using the first computer, each of the examination components relating to at least one respective physiological system and to at least one respective medical diagnosis, by providing search criteria comprising a selected physiological system or a selected medical diagnosis or both;
narrowing a subset of the examination components returned from the database to generate an examination procedure comprising selected examination components from the subset;
establishing a second communication link between a second computer of the computer network and the node; and
communicating the examination procedure to the second computer via the node.

Abstract
A distributed computer system for conducting remote medical examinations may include a queryable database comprising a plurality of examination components, each of which is related to at least one respective physiological system and/or at least one medical diagnosis. The queried result may be further narrowed automatically, based on additional information such as known best practices, and/or manually by a user having sufficient system credentials. The system may send the resulting examination procedure to a target presenter at a target facility, and may provide a communication channel for real-time communication between a provider and the presenter, e.g., during subsequent examination of a patient at the target facility.

7. A method for remotely providing examination guidance, the method comprising:
-
establishing a first communication link between a first computer in a first facility and a network-instantiated presentation layer in a computer network; querying a database containing a plurality of examination components using the first computer, each of the examination components relating to at least one respective physiological system and to at least one respective medical diagnosis, by providing search criteria comprising a selected physiological system or a selected medical diagnosis or both; narrowing a subset of the examination components returned from the database to generate an examination procedure comprising selected examination components from the subset; establishing a second communication link between a second computer of the computer network and the presentation layer, the second computer disposed in a second facility; communicating the examination procedure to the second computer; and providing a real-time communication channel between the first computer and the second computer via the presentation layer. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A distributed data processing system for providing examination guidance remotely, the data processing system comprising:
-
a processor; a memory in communication with the processor; and a set of instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to; query, in response to a search request from a first user at a first computer of the system, a data store containing a plurality of examination components, each examination component relating to at least one respective physiological system and to at least one respective diagnosis; return a recommended subset of the examination components based on the search request; generate, in response to selection of one or more of the examination components from the recommended subset by the first user, an examination procedure comprising the selected examination components; and communicate the examination procedure to a second user at a second computer of the system. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
