System and user interface for processing patient medical data
First Claim
1. A computer implemented system for use in processing patient clinical data for access by a user, comprising:
- a repository associating an observation with a clinical significance indicator and with data comprising observations including laboratory test results and measured patient medical parameter values contextually relevant to evaluation of said observation having said associated clinical significance indicator;
a clinical data processor operating using stored machine readable instructions and being electrically coupled to said repository, for using said repository for automatically adaptively providing data for display in response to receiving data representing an input observation tagged with a clinical significance indicator, said data for display comprising a first set of clinical information pertinent to the input observation if the received clinical significance indicator identifies the input observation as normal and a different second set of clinical information, including additional clinical observations absent from said first set, pertinent to the input observation if the received clinical significance indicator identifies the input observation as abnormal, the first and second set of clinical information supporting a user in making a patient assessment by including said input observation and associated contextually relevant clinical data items including the clinical significance indicator and data comprising laboratory test results and measured patient medical parameter values of the patient contextually relevant to evaluation of said observation having said associated clinical significance indicator derived from said repository; and
a display processor operating using stored machine readable instructions and being electrically coupled to said repository, for initiating generation of data representing an image including said data for display.

Abstract
A clinical data processing system systematically organizes and analyzes clinically significant information of a patient using a result flag indicating a critical or abnormal result to automate display of a view of clinical data in various contexts including diagnosis, insurance, medical complaint assessment and others to improve patient care. A system for use in processing patient clinical data for access by a user includes a repository associating an observation with a clinical significance indicator and with data indicating observations relevant to evaluation of the observation having the associated clinical significance indicator. A clinical data processor uses the repository fork automatically providing data for display in response to receiving data representing an input observation and an associated clinical significance indicator. The data for display supports a user in making a patient assessment and includes the input observation and associated relevant clinical data items. A display processor initiates generation of data representing an image including the data for display.

8. A computer implemented system for use in processing patient clinical data for access by a user, comprising:
-
at least one repository including a first observation together with an associated clinical significance indicator and a second observation comprising a laboratory test result or a measured patient medical parameter value of the patient contextually relevant to evaluation of said first observation; a clinical data processor operating using stored machine readable instructions and being electrically coupled to said at least one repository, for using said at least one repository and for automatically applying predetermined rules adaptively conditioned based on said clinical significance indicator of said first observation, said predetermined rules determining whether said second observation is contextually relevant to evaluation of said first observation having said associated clinical significance indicator and is to be provided in information supporting a user in making a patient assessment compatible with said first and second observations and for automatically adaptively providing data for display in response to receiving data representing the first observation tagged with a clinical significance indicator, said data for display comprising a first set of clinical information pertinent to the input observation if the received clinical significance indicator identifies the first observation as normal and a different second set of clinical information, including additional clinical observations absent from said first set and including the second observation pertinent to the first observation if the received clinical significance indicator identifies the input observation as abnormal; a search processor operating using stored machine readable instructions, for searching stored observations of a patient in said at least one repository to identify said second observation in response to the clinical significance indicator associated with said first observation and received data indicating a type of information to be displayed comprising user entered data indicating at least one of, (a) a patient diagnosis, (b) a medical specialty and (c) an expected observation; and a display processor operating using stored machine readable instructions, for initiating generation of data representing an image including said information for display. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
