System and user interface for processing healthcare related event information
First Claim
1. In a system for scheduling a set of tasks to be performed by at least one individual to support healthcare delivery, a method for providing a user interface for processing an event representing a change in circumstances potentially affecting healthcare delivered to a patient, comprising the steps of:
- in response to user command, initiating generation of at least one display image enabling a user in,identifying an event and an associated parameter;
identifying a global parameter;
designating a predetermined first process is associated with said event by associating identifiers with said event and said associated parameter, said predetermined process comprising a set of tasks to be performed by at least one individual to support healthcare delivery;
designating a plurality of predetermined concurrently operable processes, including said first process, are associated with said global parameter for concurrently automatically sharing a value of said global parameter; and
indicating a value of said associated parameter is to be provided to said first process in response to occurrence of said event;
enabling access by said predetermined concurrently operable processes and sharing of said global parameter value;
providing said associated parameter to said first process using a map in at least one repository associating event identifiers and parameter identifiers; and
using said global parameter while executing said predetermined concurrently operable processes.

Abstract
A system for scheduling a set of tasks to be performed by at least one individual to support healthcare delivery employs a method for providing a user interface for processing an event. The event represents a change in circumstances potentially affecting healthcare delivered to a patient. The method involves initiating generation of at least one display image in response to user command. The display image or images support the identification of an event and an associated parameter as well as the designation of a predetermined process associated with the identified event. The display image or images also support user indication of the parameter to be provided to the predetermined process in response to occurrence of the event. The predetermined process comprises a set of tasks to be performed by at least one individual to support healthcare delivery. The display image or images also support designating an executable procedure to be initiated in response to occurrence of the identified event.

18. In a system for scheduling performance of a workflow, comprising a set of tasks, by at least one individual to support healthcare delivery, a method for providing a user interface for processing an event representing a change in circumstances potentially affecting healthcare delivered to a patient, comprising the steps of:
-
in response to user command, initiating generation of at least one display image enabling a user in, identifying first event and an associated global parameter, said associated global parameter being for use by multiple different process task sequences and stored at a location available for access by said multiple different process task sequences; identifying a second event and an associated process specific parameter; designating a predetermined first process is associated with said first event and second event by associating identifiers with said first event, second event and said associated global and process specific parameters, said predetermined first process comprising a set of tasks to be performed by at least one individual to support healthcare delivery; and designating said global and process specific parameter values are automatically to be provided to said first process in response to occurrence of said first event and said second event, respectively; providing said global and process specific parameter values to said first process using a map in at least one repository associating event identifiers and parameter identifiers; filtering messages identifying events using said map to exclude messages conveying event identifiers unassociated with said predetermined first process from being passed to said first process using said global parameter while executing said; and multiple different process task sequences. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
