Abstract
A graphical user interface for displaying an electronic medical record associated with a patient is provided. The graphical user interface may include an area configured to display patient information, which may include at least a name of the patient. The graphical user interface may also include an indicator displayed in association with the name of the patient. The indicator may include information specifying that the patient is potentially eligible for one or more trials, the patient is participating in one or more trials, or the patient has completed one or more trials.
Core Innovation
The invention provides a system for managing electronic medical records in a clinical-trial status management context. It accesses an electronic medical record associated with a patient and trial eligibility criteria associated with at least one trial, identifies a plurality of trials the patient is potentially eligible for based on the electronic medical record, and automatically generates an algorithm representing an expression tree based on the trial eligibility criteria.
The system generates at least one namedtupule based on the electronic medical record, evaluates the namedtupule against the expression tree algorithm to determine a probability the patient is eligible for the plurality of trials, and compares the determined probability to a threshold probability. The system determines a ranking of the plurality of trials based on one or more sponsors of the plurality of trials and uses that ranking to present trial information for the patient.
The system displays a graphical user interface for displaying the electronic medical record, including a first area with patient information and indicators associated with the name of the patient. In response to user interaction, the interface displays an overlay area listing the plurality of trials according to the sponsor-based ranking, and provides selectable actions to designate the patient for consideration or to designate the patient to not be considered, including reasons via predefined selectable reasons and at least one reason specifiable by the user.
The system updates the electronic medical record to indicate the patient should not be considered based on the user-specified reason, and provides additional areas showing trial information for trials the patient is participating in and trial information for trials the patient has completed.
Claims Coverage
The partial content includes three independent claims: clm-00001, clm-00011, and clm-00017. Across these independent claims, there are 6 main inventive features.
Expression-tree eligibility probability from namedtupule
Automatically generating an algorithm representing an expression tree based on the trial eligibility criteria, generating at least one namedtupule based on the electronic medical record, evaluating the at least one namedtupule against the algorithm to determine a probability the patient is eligible for the plurality of trials, and comparing the determined probability to a threshold probability.
Sponsor-based trial ranking
Determining a ranking of the plurality of trials based on one or more sponsors of the plurality of trials.
Graphical user interface with patient-associated eligibility and status indicators
Cause display of a graphical user interface for displaying the electronic medical record, the graphical user interface comprising a first area displaying patient information including at least a name of the patient and indicators displayed in association with the name of the patient; in response to an interaction with the first indicator, displaying a list of the plurality of trials according to the ranking; and in response to interactions with the second and third indicators, displaying trial information associated with the trials that the patient is participating in and the trials the patient has completed.
Interactive consideration designation with predefined and user-specified reasons
Providing a selectable action including a first option to designate the patient for consideration for one or more of the plurality of trials and a second option to designate the patient to not be considered for one or more of the plurality of trials, and a selection region for specifying a reason why the patient should not be considered, including a plurality of selectable predefined reasons and at least one reason specifiable by the user.
Electronic medical record update based on not-considered designation
Update the electronic medical record to indicate the patient should not be considered for the plurality of trials based on the at least one specifiable reason by the user.
First and second user interfaces with updated trial information
Provide, to a second user, a second user interface comprising at least portion of the updated trial information associated with the trial and the patient, after updating the medical record based on received information and input.
Across clm-00001, clm-00011, and clm-00017, the claims cover an EMR management system and method that computes patient trial eligibility using an automatically generated expression-tree algorithm evaluating namedtupule against eligibility criteria to produce a probability compared to a threshold, ranks eligible trials by one or more sponsors, presents eligibility and trial-status indicators in a graphical user interface, and enables interactive designation of whether the patient should be considered or not considered with reasons selected from predefined options or user-specified reasons, followed by updating the EMR and providing updated trial information to another user.
