Abstract

A graphical user interface provides clinical information in the form of a first health feed, patient-generated information in the form of a second health feed, and health care assessments in a third health feed. The graphical user interface may provide improved access to patient-generated information to the provider and improved access to clinical information to the patient or caretaker for the patient. Additional health feeds may include data from peripheral devices, third-party sponsored applications, or other forms of health feedback.

Claims

1. A computerized method carried out by a server having at least one processor for providing health care assessments for a patient and one or more family members of the patient, the method comprising:

receiving provider inputs regarding the patient or the one or more family members of the patient;

storing the provider inputs;

determining, using the at least one processor, based on patient rules, provider information from the provider inputs to display to the patient or the one or more family members of the patient, the provider information comprising one or more of tests performed, treatments administered, clinician notes, and clinician recommendations;

determining at least one patient input field to display;

displaying the at least one patient input field;

receiving inputs from the patient or the one or more family members of the patient, using the at least one patient input field, the inputs comprising one or more of weigh-in information, blood sugar monitoring information, personal physical assessments, and food diary entries;

storing the inputs in the patient or the one or more family members of the patient records;

determining at least one assessment for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient based on the inputs, the patient or the one or more family members of the patient records, and one or more user-generated rules; and

simultaneously displaying on a single user interface a plurality of selectable options, at least a first selectable option of the plurality of selectable options corresponding to the patient and at least a second selectable option of the plurality of selectable options corresponding to the one or more family members of the patient, wherein selection of at least one of the plurality of selectable options initiates the simultaneous display of the provider information from the provider inputs and the at least one assessment.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one patient input field comprises a patient questionnaire.

3. The media of claim 2, wherein the least one assessment for the patient comprises a questionnaire results summary.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the at least one patient input field to display to the patient is determined by patient type.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the provider inputs comprise medical test results from clinical testing.

6. One or more non-transitory computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to generate a graphical user interface that simultaneously displays a plurality of selectable options corresponding to at least a patient and one or more family members of the patient and the simultaneous display of multiple health feeds upon selection of one of the plurality of selectable options, the graphical user interface comprising:

a display area configured to simultaneously present at least a first selectable option of the plurality of selectable options corresponding to the patient and at least a second selectable option of the plurality of selectable options corresponding to the one or more family members of the patient, wherein selection of at least one of the plurality of selectable options initiates the simultaneous display of a first, second, and third health feed, wherein;

the first health feed comprises clinical information for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient comprising one or more of tests performed, treatments administered, clinician notes, and clinician recommendations;

the second health feed comprises patient-generated information for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient comprising one or more of weigh-in information, blood sugar monitoring information, personal physical assessments, and food diary entries; and

the third health feed comprises feedback information comprising patient feedback on the clinical information for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient and the patient-generated information for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient.

7. The graphical user interface of claim 6, wherein the feedback information further comprises clinical feedback on the patient-generated information of the second health feed display.

8. The graphical user interface of claim 6, wherein the feedback information further comprises one or more patient questionnaires.

9. The graphical user interface of claim 8, wherein the feedback information further comprises a summary of patient questionnaire results.

10. The graphical user interface of claim 6, wherein the feedback information further comprises request displays for requests for patient activity, requests for clinic activity, or a combination thereof.

11. One or more non-transitory computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to generate a graphical user interface that simultaneously displays a plurality of selectable options corresponding to at least a patient and one or more family members of the patient and the simultaneous display of multiple health feeds upon selection of one of the plurality of selectable options, the graphical user interface comprising:

a display area configured to simultaneously present at least a first selectable option of the plurality of selectable options corresponding to the patient and at least a second selectable option of the plurality of selectable options corresponding to the one or more family members of the patient, wherein selection of at least one of the plurality of selectable options initiates the simultaneous display of a first, second, and third health feed, wherein;

the first health feed comprises clinical information for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient comprising one or more of tests performed, treatments administered, clinician notes, and clinician recommendations;

the second health feed comprises patient-generated information for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient comprising one or more of weigh-in information, blood sugar monitoring information, personal physical assessments, and food diary entries; and

the third health feed comprises feedback information comprising clinical feedback on the patient-generated information for the patient or the one or more family members of the patient of the second health feed display.

12. The graphical user interface of claim 11, wherein the feedback information further comprises patient feedback on at least one of the clinical feedback and the clinical information of the first health feed display.

13. The graphical user interface of claim 11, wherein the feedback information further comprises one or more patient questionnaires.

14. The graphical user interface of claim 13, wherein the feedback information further comprises a summary of patient questionnaire results.

15. The graphical user interface of claim 11, wherein the feedback information further comprises request displays for requests for patient activity, requests for clinic activity, or a combination thereof.
