METHODS AND APPARATUS TO ENHANCE HEALTHCARE INFORMATION ANALYSES
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for use with a healthcare information system, comprising:
- automatically detecting a scheduled analysis of healthcare information associated with a patient based on a detection of the patient;
retrieving textual data corresponding to a medical history of the patient from an information source according to a first configuration setting, wherein the first configuration setting controls which of a plurality of aspects of the medical history is to be retrieved;
generating a report using the textual data according to a second configuration setting, wherein the second configuration setting controls an organization of the generated report;
converting the report to an audio file and storing the audio file in memory; and
in response to detecting an initiation of the scheduled analysis, outputting at least a first segment of the audio file on a presentation device associated with the scheduled analysis in conjunction with a presentation of one or more images associated with the scheduled analysis.
