Diagnosis-driven electronic charting
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for producing electronic health records from graphical inputs by computer users, the method comprising:
- receiving, on a graphical user interface of a computer system, a user identification of a diagnosis for a patient, the user identification produced by user selection of a first selectable item from a plurality of selectable items that are each indicative of diagnoses and that are displayed in a first zone on the graphical user interface;
identifying, with the computer system and in response to receiving the user selection of the diagnosis, a plurality of parameters that each correspond to and characterize the diagnosis;
displaying in a second zone that is spatially separated from the first zone on the graphical user interface and in response to identifying the plurality of parameters, a plurality of selectable values for each of multiple ones of the plurality of parameters, wherein the first and second zones have edges that are adjacent to each other that do not overlap each other;
receiving, by the computer system and from the user, sequential user selections that represent multiple particular ones of the values from the plurality of parameters that each correspond to and characterize the diagnosis; and
generating an electronic health record representation that represents a particularized version of the identified diagnosis with text for values selected by the user from the parameters that correspond to and characterize the diagnosis, wherein the representation is generated by applying a syntax to the selected diagnosis and values for the selected diagnosis along with text not selected by the user, to generate a natural language description from multiple sub-sentence clauses after the user identification and the sequential user selections are received,wherein, once the user identification of the diagnosis for the patient and the sequential user selections of the values for the one or more parameters that correspond to and characterize the diagnosis have been selected, the first selectable item that is representative of the diagnosis is displayed along with the selected values of parameters that correspond to and characterize the diagnosis as a visually-identified group, for review by the user, andwherein the user can move from any of the plurality of selectable items that are representative of a diagnosis in the first zone to any of the plurality of selectable values of parameters that correspond to and characterize the diagnosis in the second zone without moving over any other item in the first zone or any other value in the second zone.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for producing healthcare data records from graphical inputs by computer users includes receiving, on a graphical user interface of a computer system, a user identification of a diagnosis for a patient, the user identification produced by user selection on the graphical user interface; identifying one or more parameters that characterize the diagnosis; displaying on the graphical user interface a plurality of selectable values for particular ones of identified parameters; receiving sequential user selections representations of particulars ones of the values; and generating an electronic medical record representation that represents the identified diagnosis having the selected values for the one or more parameters.

13. A computer-implemented system for producing electronic health records from inputs by caregivers in a graphical user interface, the system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and one or more non-transient storage devices operably connected to the one or more processors and storing instructions, that when executed, implement features comprising; a display controller configured to generate data for displaying selectable icons that represent patient diagnoses, and for displaying values for parameters that characterize the diagnoses, and that are dependent on, a user-selected diagnosis, wherein the selectable icons are displayed in a zone that is spatially separated from a zone in which the values for parameters that characterize the diagnoses are displayed, and wherein selection of each icon results in an identification of and display of values for a parameter that is determined to characterize a diagnosis for the particular selected icon; an input processor configured to receive user selections of the diagnosis and values and to identify parameters that characterize the user-selected diagnosis; and a description builder programmed to apply syntactical rules based on the selected diagnosis and selected values to produce prose of a description for a medical action represented by the selected diagnosis and values, wherein the description is constructed from multiple sub-sentence clauses that together describe a user selection of an icon for a diagnosis and values for the diagnosis, wherein, once a user has selected an icon that represents a particular diagnosis and values for parameters that characterize the particular diagnosis, the selected icon is displayed along with the selected values as a visually-identified group, for review by the user, and wherein the a user can move from any of the plurality of icons to any of the plurality of selectable values without moving over any other item in the zone in which the icons are displayed or the zone in which the values for modifiers are displayed. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. One or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored thereon instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, perform operations comprising
receiving, on a graphical user interface of a computer system, a user identification of a diagnosis for a patient, the user identification produced by user selection of a first selectable item from a plurality of displayed selectable items that are each indicative of diagnoses and that are displayed in a first zone on the graphical user interface; -
identifying, with the computer system and in response to receiving the user selection of the diagnosis, a plurality of parameters that each correspond to and characterize the diagnosis; displaying in a second zone that is spatially separated from the first zone on the graphical user interface and in response to identifying the plurality of parameters, a plurality of selectable values for each of multiple ones of the plurality of parameters, wherein the first and second zones have edges that are adjacent to each other that do not overlap each other; receiving, by the computer system and from the user, sequential user selections that represent multiple particulars ones of the values from the plurality of parameters that each correspond to and characterize the diagnosis; and generating an electronic health record representation that represents a particularized version of the identified diagnosis with text for values selected by the user from the parameters that correspond to and characterize the diagnosis, wherein the representation is generated by applying a syntax to the selected diagnosis and values for the selected diagnosis along with text not selected by the user to generated a natural language description from multiple sub-sentence clauses after the user identification and the sequential user selections are received, wherein, once the user identification of the diagnosis for the patient and the sequential user selections of the values for the one or more parameters that correspond to and characterize the diagnosis have been selected, the first selectable item that is representative of the diagnosis is displayed along with the selected values of parameters that correspond to and characterize the diagnosis as a visually-identified group, for review by the user, and wherein the user can move from any of the plurality of selectable items in the first zone to any of the plurality of selectable values in the second zone without moving over any other item in the first zone or any other value in the second zone. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
