System for managing healthcare data including genomic and other patient specific information
First Claim
1. A system for processing patient medical information for storage in an electronic patient medical record repository and suitable for use in a hospital information system, comprising:
- an interface for receiving electronic transaction data including data representing genomic information indicating identity of a first patient, the received genomic information being associated with medical data of said first patient;
a repository including a record of a particular patient incorporating medical data and data representing genomic information indicating identity of said particular patient; and
a data processor, electronically coupled to said interface and said repository, for,comparing said genomic information indicating identity of said particular patient with the received genomic information associated with medical data of said first patient,automatically identifying a genomic match indicating said first patient and said particular patient are the same patient in response to the comparison and predetermined matching criteria, andinitiating storage of said medical data of said first patient in said record of said particular patient in response to said genomic match and merging of at least a portion of said record of said particular patient with another record of said particular patient in response to said genomic match and using terms, codes, or identifiers that are predefined in the system and that facilitate the integration of clinical and genetic data, to provide a merged record.

Abstract
A system, for processing patient medical information for storage in an electronic patient medical record repository, includes an interface, a repository, and a data processor. The interface receives data representing genomic information of a patient. The repository includes a patient record incorporating data representing genomic information specific to a particular patient. A data processor compares the genomic information specific to a particular patient with the received genomic information. The data processor identifies a genomic match in response to the comparison and predetermined matching criteria. The data processor initiates processing of patient record information specific to the particular patient in response to an identified match.

8. A system for managing patient healthcare data suitable for use in a hospital information system, comprising:
-
a first database including mapping information supporting conversion of genomic information in a first data format to a different second data format; an interface for receiving electronic transaction data including data representing genomic information indicating identity of a first patient in a first data format, said genomic information being associated with medical data of said first patient; a repository including a record of a particular patient incorporating medical data and data representing genomic information indicating identity of said particular patient in a second data format different to said first data format; and a data processor, electronically coupled to said interface and said repository, for, applying said mapping information in converting said genomic information indicating identity of said first patient to said second data format, comparing said genomic information indicating identity of said particular patient with converted received data representing genomic information associated with medical data of said first patient, identifying a genomic match indicating said first patient and said particular patient are the same patient in response to the comparison and predetermined matching criteria, and initiating storage of said medical data of said first patient in said record of said particular patient in response to said genomic match and merging of at least a portion of said record of said particular patient with another record of said particular patient in response to said genomic match patient in response to said genomic match to provide a merged record by employing terms, codes, or identifiers that are predefined in the system and that facilitate the integration of clinical and genetic data. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A system for managing patient healthcare data suitable for use in a hospital information system, comprising:
-
a first database including mapping information supporting conversion of genomic information in a first data format to a different second data format; an interface for receiving HL7 or DICOM compatible electronic transaction message data including data representing genomic information indicating identity of a first patient in a first data format, said genomic information being associated with medical data of said first patient by said electronic transaction message data; a repository including a record of a particular patient incorporating medical data and data representing genomic information indicating identity of said particular patient in a second data format different to said first data format; and a data processor, electronically coupled to said interface and said repository, for, applying said mapping information in converting said genomic information indicating identity of said first patient to said second data format, comparing said genomic information indicating identity of said particular patient with converted received data representing genomic information associated with medical data of said first patient, identifying a genomic match indicating said first patient and said particular patient are the same patient in response to the comparison and predetermined matching criteria, and initiating storage of said medical data of said first patient in said record of said particular patient in response to said genomic match and merging of at least a portion of said record of said particular patient with another record of said particular patient in response to said genomic match patient in response to said genomic match using terms, codes, or identifiers that are predefined in the system and that facilitate the integration of clinical and genetic data, to provide a merged record.
