Computerized method and system for providing alerts from a multi-patient display
First Claim
1. A method in a computing environment for outputting at least one patient alert from a multi-patient display, the method comprising:
- providing the multi-patient display, the multi-patient display having a plurality of selectable patient indicators;
receiving alert data associated with a patient with whom one of the plurality of selectable patient indicators is associated, wherein the alert data comprises data stored in an electronic medical record;
utilizing the received alert data to determine if at least one patient alert is necessary;
if it is determined that at least one patient alert is necessary, outputting the at least one patient alert from the multi-patient display in association with the one of the plurality of selectable patient indicators including at least one selectable executable action associated with the at least one patient alert, wherein the at least one selectable executable action, if selected, initiates a corresponding executable action; and
receiving a selection of one of the at least one selectable executable action and, in response to the selection, initiating the corresponding executable action comprising displaying at least a portion of the electronic medical record associated with the patient including the alert data that necessitated the at least one patient alert and contextual clinical information relevant to the alert data that necessitated the at least one patient alert.

Abstract
Methods for use in, e.g., a patient care computing environment, for outputting alerts from a multi-patient display are provided. In one embodiment, the method may include providing a multi-patient display having a plurality of selectable patient indicators, receiving a patient alert associated with a patient for whom one of the plurality of selectable patient indicators is present in the multi-patient display, and outputting the received patient alert from the multi-patient display in association with the one of the plurality of selectable patient indicators. The method may further include receiving an indication that the one of the plurality of selectable patient indicators associated with the received patient alert has been selected by a user and, upon receipt of such indication, outputting information corresponding to the patient alert received.

12. A computer system for outputting at least one patient alert from a multi-patient display, the computer system comprising:
-
a providing module for providing the multi-patient display, the multi-patient display having a plurality of selectable patient indicators; a first receiving module for receiving alert data associated with a patient with whom one of the plurality of selectable patient indicators is associated, wherein the alert data comprises data stored in an electronic medical record associated with the patient; a first outputting module for outputting a patient alert indicator from the multi-patient display in association with the one of the plurality of selectable patient indicators, if it is determined utilizing the received alert data that a patient alert is necessary; a second receiving module for receiving an indication that the one of the plurality of selectable patient indicators associated with the at least one patient alert has been selected by a user; and a second outputting module for outputting the at least one patient alert when the second receiving module receives an indication that the one of the plurality of selectable patient indicators associated with the at least one patient alert has been selected by the user, wherein the at least one patient alert includes at least one selectable executable action that, if selected, initiates an executable action comprising a display of at least a portion of the electronic medical record including the alert data causing the at least one patient alert. - View Dependent Claims (13)

14. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method in a computing system environment for outputting at least one patient alert from a multi-patient display, the method comprising:
-
providing the multi-patient display, the multi-patient display having a plurality of selectable patient indicators; receiving alert data associated with a patient with whom one of the plurality of selectable patient indicators is associated, wherein the alert data comprises data stored in an electronic medical record associated with the patient; utilizing the received alert data to determine if at least one patient alert is necessary; if it is determined that at least one patient alert is necessary, outputting a patient alert indicator from the multi-patient display in association with the one of the plurality of selectable patient indicators; receiving an indication that the one of the plurality of selectable patient indicators associated with the patient with whom the alert data is associated has been selected by a user; outputting the at least one patient alert including at least one selectable executable action corresponding to the at least one output patient alert that, if selected, initiates an executable action, wherein one of the at least one executable action displays at least a portion of the electronic medical record including the alert data causing the at least one patient alert; receiving an indication that the one of the at least one selectable executable action has been selected by the user; and displaying the portion of the electronic medical record associated with the patient alert. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

- 18. A user interface embodied on at least one computer-readable medium, the user interface for outputting at least one patient alert from a multi-patient view having a selectable executable action that, if selected by a user, initiates a corresponding selectable executable action, at least one recommended clinically appropriate response based on the patient alert, and at least a portion of an electronic medical record associated with the at least one patient alert including alert data effectuating the at least one patient alert and contextual clinical information relevant to the alert data effectuating the at least one patient alert, the user interface comprising a multi-patient display area configured to display a plurality of selectable patient indicators and a visual patient alert indicator in association with at least one of the plurality of patient indicators.
