Presenting related results during medication administration documentation
First Claim
1. One or more computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method in a clinical computing environment for presenting results of clinically-relevant discrete task assays, the method comprising:
- generating a medication identifier/discrete task assay electronic data store, wherein generating the medication identifier/discrete task assay electronic data store comprises;
(1) receiving a medication identifier associated with a first medication;
(2) receiving at least one discrete task assay that is independent of patient data, the discrete task assay being clinically relevant to the first medication;
(3) associating the medication identifier with the at least one discrete task assay;
receiving an indication that a clinician desires to document administration of the first medication to a patient, the indication being received in association with a medication administration documentation location of an electronic medical record data store associated with the patient;
incident to receiving the indication that the clinician desires to document administration of the first medication to the patient, automatically searching, using a search component, the medication identifier/discrete task assay electronic data store to determine the at least one clinically-relevant discrete task assay associated with the medication identifier of the first medication;
incident to determining the at least one clinically-relevant discrete task assay associated with the medication identifier of the first medication, automatically searching, using the search component, the electronic medical record data store associated with the patient to determine that the patient'"'"'s electronic medical record data store has a patient result corresponding to the at least one clinically-relevant discrete task assay;
determining that the patient result corresponding to the at least one clinically-relevant discrete task assay was generated within a predefined time frame prior to receiving the indication that the clinician desires to document administration of the first medication to the patient; and
presenting the patient result corresponding to the at least one clinically-relevant discrete task assay in association with the medication administration documentation location of the electronic medical record data store associated with the patient.

Abstract
Computerized methods and systems for receiving clinically-relevant discrete task assays related to a medication and for presenting results of the clinically-relevant discrete task assays during documentation of administration of the medication are provided. Medication identifiers are received and associated with discrete task assays, the results of which may be relevant to administration of the identified medication. Upon receipt of an indication that a clinician desires to administer the identified medication to a patient, the patient'"'"'s electronic medical record is searched to determine if a result for any associated discrete task assays has been documented within a predefined time frame. If there is such a documented result, the result is presented in association with the location of the electronic medical record where administration of the medication is being documented.

9. A method in a clinical computing environment for receiving clinically-relevant discrete task assays related to a medication and for presenting results of the clinically-relevant discrete task assays during documentation of administration of the medication, the method comprising:
-
storing computer useable instructions on a computer storage media; and executing the computer useable instructions by one or more computing devices, causing the one or more computing devices to; (1) generate a first electronic data store by a) receiving an identifier for the medication; b) receiving a clinically-relevant discrete task assay that is independent of patient data, the clinically-relevant discrete task assay being relevant to administration of the medication; c) associating the identifier for the medication and the clinically-relevant discrete task assay; (2) receive an indication that a clinician desires to document administration of the medication to a particular patient, the indication being received in association with a medication administration documentation location of an electronic medical record data store associated with the particular patient; (3) incident to receiving the indication, automatically search, using a search component, the first electronic data store to identify the clinically-relevant discrete task assay stored in association with the identifier for the medication; (4) incident to identifying the clinically-relevant discrete task assay, automatically search, using the search component, the particular patient'"'"'s electronic medical record data store to determine that there is a plurality of patient results corresponding to the clinically-relevant discrete task assay, wherein the plurality of patient results were generated prior to receiving the indication that the clinician desires to document the administration of the medication to the particular patient; (5) determine a most recent patient result of the plurality of patient results, the most recent patient result being generated within a predefined time range of receiving the indication that the clinician desires to document administration of the medication to the particular patient; (6) present the most recent patient result of the plurality of results corresponding to the clinically-relevant discrete task assay in association with the medication administration documentation location of the electronic medical record data store associated with the particular patient; (7) present a selectable link in association with the most recent patient result of the plurality of patient results; (8) receive a selection of the selectable link; and (9) present a remainder of the plurality of patient results corresponding to the clinically-relevant discrete task assay in association with the medication administration documentation location of the electronic medical record data store associated with the particular patient. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
