Computerized selection for healthcare services
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for producing healthcare data records from graphical inputs by computer users, the method comprising:
- identifying a plurality of user input categories;
displaying on a graphical display, and in a first zone, a plurality of icons that correspond to a first of the user input categories, and receiving in the first zone a first user selection of a first icon of the plurality of icons;
displaying on the graphical display, in a second zone that is spatially separated from the first zone and has an edge that is nearest to the first zone that does not overlap an edge of the first zone that is nearest the second zone, a plurality of icons that correspond to a second of the user input categories, and receiving in the second zone a second user selection of a second icon of the plurality of icons;
displaying on the graphical display one or more icons that correspond to a physical target on which a medical action or observation is performed, and receiving at the one or more icons that correspond to the physical target a third user selection of the physical target; and
applying a syntax to topics of the first, second, and third selections to generate a grammatical description of the medical action or observation using the at least two of the first, second, and third user selections, the syntax being applied to building the grammatical description from multiple separate sub-sentence clauses after at least one of the first, second, and third user selections are received,wherein one of the first or second user input categories represents an object on which an action is performed, and the other of the first or second input categories represents the action that is performed on the object, andwherein icons in the second zone are displayed for any selection by the user in the first zone.

Abstract
A method for producing healthcare data records from graphical inputs by computer users. Includes generating a plurality of user input categories, displaying on a graphical display icons that correspond to a first of the user input categories and receiving a first user selection of a first icon of the plurality of icons, and displaying on the graphical display a plurality of icons that correspond to a second of the user input categories and receiving a second user selection of a second icon of the plurality of icons. The method also includes displaying icons that correspond to a physical target on which the medical action or observation is performed and receiving a third user selection of the physical target, and applying a syntax to populate a data record of the action using the at least two of the first, second, and third user selections.

-
identifying a plurality of user input categories; displaying on a graphical display, and in a first zone, a plurality of icons that correspond to a first of the user input categories, and receiving in the first zone a first user selection of a first icon of the plurality of icons; displaying on the graphical display, in a second zone that is spatially separated from the first zone and has an edge that is nearest to the first zone that does not overlap an edge of the first zone that is nearest the second zone, a plurality of icons that correspond to a second of the user input categories, and receiving in the second zone a second user selection of a second icon of the plurality of icons; displaying on the graphical display one or more icons that correspond to a physical target on which a medical action or observation is performed, and receiving at the one or more icons that correspond to the physical target a third user selection of the physical target; and applying a syntax to topics of the first, second, and third selections to generate a grammatical description of the medical action or observation using the at least two of the first, second, and third user selections, the syntax being applied to building the grammatical description from multiple separate sub-sentence clauses after at least one of the first, second, and third user selections are received, wherein one of the first or second user input categories represents an object on which an action is performed, and the other of the first or second input categories represents the action that is performed on the object, and wherein icons in the second zone are displayed for any selection by the user in the first zone. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A computer-implemented system for producing healthcare data records from graphical inputs by caregivers, the system comprising:
-
a display controller to generate data for displaying graphical icons in a plurality of categories, wherein the categories represent a physical target in association with which a medical action is performed, an object that corresponds to a healthcare treatment or action, and a modifier that represents a modification of the object that corresponds to a health care treatment or action, and wherein icons for each of the categories are displayed in separate zones of a graphical display; an input processor to receive user selections of graphical icons on the graphical display; and a description builder programmed to apply syntactical rules based on the selected graphical icons to produce a prose of a description for a medical action represented by the selected graphical icons, the prose representing a grammatically complete description that is separate from the displayed categories, wherein the syntactical rules are applied to produce the prose description from multiple separate clauses after at least one user selection is received, and wherein a first zone of the separate zones of the graphical display has an edge that is nearest to a second zone of the separate zones of the graphical display that does not overlap an edge of the first zone that is nearest the second zone. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-implemented system for producing healthcare data records from graphical inputs by caregivers, the system comprising:
-
a display controller to generate data for displaying graphical icons in a plurality of categories, wherein the categories represent a body part on which an medical action is performed or observed, an object that corresponds to a healthcare treatment or observation, and a modifier that represents a modification of the object that corresponds to a health care treatment or observation, and wherein icons for each of the categories are displayed in separate zones of a graphical display; an input processor to receive user selections of graphical icons on a graphical display; and means for building a prose description of a medical action represented by the selected graphical icons, the prose description representing a grammatically complete description that is separate from the displayed categories, and the building of the prose description occurs from multiple separate sub-sentence clauses after at least one of the user selections of graphical icons is received, wherein a first zone of the separate zones of the graphical display has an edge that is nearest to a second zone of the separate zones of the graphical display that does not overlap an edge of the first zone that is nearest the second zone.
