Abstract
A system and method that facilitates the automated replication of electronic medical record information between a patient and a health-care provider (HCP), such as a doctor, pharmacy, drug manufacturer, biologic manufacturer, or medical device manufacturer. The system uses: a cloud-based infrastructure that includes databases, mathematical models, and configuration information; a patient's electronic health record system providing personal data around a patient's individual personal electronic medical record (PEMR); and a server used to coordinate and authenticate the replication of data between the cloud-based infrastructure, the PEMR, and the EMR/EHR system of the HCP. The system provides support and security, such as by geographically distributed data fragmentation, for mobile platforms and web-based platforms and sophisticated mechanisms for the transmission of data between these systems, as well as patient interaction modules to promote patient care.
Core Innovation
The invention describes a method of medical engagement with a patient in which a personal electronic medical record is automatically fragmenting into a plurality of data fragments and storing the plurality of data fragments distributed across one or more databases. During a patient engagement with a health-care provider, the data fragments are reassembled for display via a computer system of the health-care provider. The method also includes automatically delivering a message to the patient requesting changes to the personal electronic medical record, receiving a responsive communication from the patient, and automatically delivering the responsive communication to the health-care provider.
After receiving the responsive communication, the personal electronic medical record is updated with data from the health-care provider to form an updated personal electronic medical record. The updated personal electronic medical record replaces the personal electronic medical record for the storing across the one or more databases. After completion of the patient engagement, the updated personal electronic medical record automatically fragments into a second plurality of data fragments for storage across the one or more databases.
For the patient engagement, the reassembling only occurs during the patient engagement with the health-care provider. After the completion of the patient engagement, the updated personal electronic medical record closing on the computer system of the health-care provider results in no copy of the personal electronic medical record or the updated personal electronic medical record remaining on any user component of the computer system of the health care provider upon closing. The second plurality of data fragments is stored distributed across the one or more databases in place of the plurality of data fragments.
Claims Coverage
The independent claim covers a patient engagement workflow that combines automatic fragmentation, distributed storage, reassembly for provider display, message-based patient communication for record changes, record updating with provider data, and post-engagement closing that prevents provider-side retention. The inventive features include at least six key elements corresponding to the independent claim and its refinements in dependent claims.
Automatic fragmentation and distributed storage of the personal electronic medical record
The method automatically fragmenting a personal electronic medical record for the patient into a plurality of data fragments and storing the plurality of data fragments distributed across one or more databases.
Reassembly for provider display during patient engagement
The method reassembling the plurality of data fragments for display of the personal electronic medical record via a computer system of a health-care provider for a patient engagement with the health-care provider.
Message delivery to request record changes and responsive communication
The method automatically delivering a message to the patient requesting changes, medical or non-medical, in the personal electronic medical record, receiving a responsive communication from the patient, and automatically delivering the responsive communication to the healthcare provider.
Updating the personal electronic medical record based on provider data
The method updating the personal electronic medical record with data from the health-care provider to form an updated personal electronic medical record for the patient, wherein the updated personal electronic medical record replaces the personal electronic medical record for the storing across the one or more databases.
Post-engagement fragmentation of the updated record
After completion of the patient engagement with the health-care provider, the method automatically fragmenting the updated personal electronic medical record for the patient into a second plurality of data fragments for storage across the one or more databases.
Reassembly constrained to engagement and no provider-side copy after closing
After the completion of the patient engagement with the health-care provider, the updated personal electronic medical record closing on the computer system of the health-care provider such that the reassembling only occurs during the patient engagement with the health-care provider, and no copy of the personal electronic medical record or the updated personal electronic medical record remains on any user component of the computer system of the health care provider upon closing.
Provider-data-driven fragment replacement after engagement
The method storing the second plurality of data fragments distributed across the one or more databases in place of the plurality of data fragments across the one or more databases.
No integrated copy in the databases
The method wherein no integrated copy of the personal electronic medical record is stored on the one or more databases.
Language translation between provider and patient messages
The method automatically translating a message from a first language used by the health-care provider into a second language used by the patient when delivering the message to the patient.
Autonomous application or bot for message exchange
The method wherein message delivery to the patient and receipt of the patient’s responsive communication are carried out by an autonomous application or bot that interacts with the patient.
Patient-assigned authenticator for access
The method wherein the patient's personal electronic medical record includes a patient-assigned authenticator to enable the health-care provider to access the record.
Random distribution of data fragments across databases
The method wherein randomly distributing the data fragments across one or more databases.
Across the independent claim and dependent refinements, the core coverage is an engagement-based approach in which the personal electronic medical record is fragmented and distributed, reassembled only during provider engagement for display, updated based on patient and health-care provider communications, and then re-fragmented with replacement of stored fragments after engagement, including a constraint that no provider-side copy remains upon closing. Dependent features further add translation, autonomous bot interaction, an authenticator, a no-integrated-copy constraint, and random fragment distribution.
Stated Advantages
Reassembling only occurs during the patient engagement with the health-care provider.
No copy of the personal electronic medical record or the updated personal electronic medical record remains on any user component of the computer system of the health care provider upon closing.
The updated personal electronic medical record replaces the personal electronic medical record for the storing across the one or more databases.
Documented Applications
Medical engagement with a patient with a health-care provider, including requesting changes to the personal electronic medical record, receiving patient responsive communications, and updating the record based on health-care provider data.
