Order sets having different views for CPOE systems
First Claim
1. A method of dynamically re-organizing orderables on a computing device, the method comprising:
- receiving patient data stored in a computer memory;
receiving hospital unit data identifying a hospital unit where the patient is being treated, said hospital unit data stored in the computer memory;
receiving patient problem data indicating one or more problems to be managed stored in the computer memory;
creating a re-organized order set using the hospital unit data, the patient problem data, and the patient data, said order set being created by a processor executing in said computing device, said order set including multiple orderables, each orderable having at least two tags, said two tags including two of an intervention frame tag, a problem frame tag, and a system frame tag and a tag purposefully chosen to represent mental processes that a physician uses to treat patients and is used to dynamically re-organize and combine said order set to correspond to information received from an order set library and re-organized such that a specific need of a physician at a specific time is addressed, a tag corresponding to one of the intervention frame tag, the system frame tag, or the problem frame tag that a physician uses to treat the patient, said at least two tags used to re-organize said order set to map to a physician thought process when examining and treating the patient.

Abstract
Order sets are presented in different views thereby allowing the doctor to treat a patient in a more intuitive manner. Order set content is created so that order sets can be viewed from varying perspectives. An order set library is modified such that each order statement or orderable is tagged with metadata. Each orderable is tagged with an Intervention tag, a Problem tag, and a System tag. An application may then take the modified order sets and present them to doctors based on an Intervention view, a Problem view, or a System view. These views give the doctor the option of switching between views depending on the severity of a patient'"'"'s medical condition and allows the doctor to follow a more intuitive and internal mental process when treating a patient. The doctor does not have to translate between different perspectives of the order sets mentally, thereby greatly reducing the doctor'"'"'s cognitive load.
