US 8,060,376 B2 1. 2 SYSTEMAND METHOD FOR COLLECTION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AND ADMINISTRATIVE DATA forms for each healthcare/medical institution that can include BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to health care/medical information software. More specifically, the field of the invention is that of healthcare/medical information software for patient informa tion in health care systems. 2. Description of the Related Art Much time and many resources are spent by health care institutions and medical service practitioners, such organiza tions being referred to herein as “providers' collecting and re-collecting medical information from patients. Because providers have different requirements and workflow proce dures based on specialty, specialized forms are in use in separate offices. Patients are forced to answer common administrative, financial, and health related questions repeat edly, typically in the format of a predefined paper form with spaces for hand written responses, as they move from pro vider to provider over the course of care. Standardization of paper based forms for collecting health information have proven to be useful within an organization, but providers across a community tend to have difficulty coming to a consensus for standardization. The lack of con sensus stems from differences in types and resolution of health information specialists collect, in particular healthcare institutions such as insurance companies and hospitals may have differing types of relevant information, as do hospitals, testing labs, and physicians. Also, the workflow within those organizations dictates the need for specialized forms and therefore requires those organizations to manually transfer information from standard forms to their custom forms. The reason there has not been a wide spread adoption of uniform health care patient forms is that standardized forms fail to satisfy the diverse needs across the health care and medical community and there is no standard for collecting electronic health information and distributing it to every par ticipant that require Such information. Even those providers which have electronic systems have different vendors that are expecting the data in differentformats, thus making it difficult to share patient information electronically. Attempts to allow patients enter their information into electronic systems using web-based questionnaires have had some success for indi vidual organizations, but from the patient perspective this algorithm is just marginally better than the paper based pro cess, making the patient have to fill out all the information repeatedly on different websites instead of on different clip 10 15 25 30 35 40 45 50 boards. A patient based medical/health care information system must be an elective process initiated by the patient and must insure compliance with HIPAA and other privacy legislation and concerns. 55 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a patient entry healthcare/medical information system and method which allows for patient entry to a single data repository which is compatible with all of the community's healthcare and medical systems, whether computer or paper based. The present invention includes pro filing the various health care/medical information system entry forms (typically in paper form), determining the con tents of a single database that can provide relevant patient information for all of those forms, and generating a library of 60 65 the relevant patient information in a form compatible with the institution’s current system (typically in paper form). A third party service provider (TPS), not directly engaged in providing healthcare services or directing patient referrals, oversees and manages the system to ensure that providers are not skeptical of either participating and/or promoting the system. Each provider in the community is sentaletter asking them to send in blank copies of all the clipboard paperwork they have patients complete. The TPS provider then scans the clipboard paperwork sent in by the providers and constructs a database of the form image, the form type, the questions on the form, the details of the questions, the position on the form where the answers should be rendered (written), and how and where to send completed forms (i.e. fax/mail). If the provider is capable of processing information electronically the format and protocol for that physician is stored (i.e.: e-mail, h17, XML, etc) and the nomenclature of the electronic information (CPT/ICD9, NDDF, MediSpan, NDC, SNOMED, etc). As many forms are received from the providers and entered into the system of the present invention, the software will recommend and physician reviewers will confirm a quorum of questions that are common to most of the forms. This quorum of questions in the database becomes the question naire that patients will fill out online. This provides the big gest return for the patient since they will only be asked ques tions once at registration but the information could be used to populate the forms of any of the providers in the database. A patient visits the website to register with a username and a password that is assigned to an account. The patient com pletes the web-based questionnaire by answering the ques tions and the responses are coded and stored associated to their account. The patient's username and password are required to view and/or edit their information. No one except that patient should be able to access the information in the account from the website. As patients need to send informa tion to different providers, they would log into the website, update the information if any changes are necessary, and then select the physician they are to see soon. The system may also prompt for additional questions that are not part of the basic questionnaire and are specific to the physician and the phy sicians office clipboard form (or other provider). The system then stores the final responses, and populates the physicians clipboard forms with the patient information in the format specific for the physician and sends the forms to the physi cians office. It is also possible to allow patients to elect to allow providers to update their medical information on the website, although it is not necessary that providers have this capacity. The system of the present invention is a solution that allows patients to enter their information once and electively send that information to any provider they wish. The system of the present invention formats the information for the specific provider, and optionally be able to prompt the patient with more detailed questions that the provider may need to know. Since the dominant method of formatting this information today is paper forms, the system is adapted to produce a paper output of the electronic information and duplicate the paper (and electronic if applicable) forms that each provider in the community has in use. This method of producing paper forms enables the patient to fill out medical information in to the computer once and then tell the computer to complete the forms for several different providers. The present invention provides a single point of entry for patients to enter healthcare related information in a confiden tial and secure fashion that is HIPAA compliant and does not interfere with physician relationships with patients or refer
US 8,060,376 B2 3 rers. The TPS provider has no vested interest in steering patients to use one provider over another, or recommend one therapy over another so that physicians and providers can participate in the system without concern that patients will be provided conflicting information. Adoption of the system by providers is easy and does not require anything except send ing in their forms. Since the output of the system of the present invention is their form filled out in a more legible format, physicians should have no problem accepting the forms. The present invention, in one form, relates to a computer server for providing access to patient data records. The com puter server includes a provider database, a patient interaction module, and a provider interaction module. The provider database has a plurality of provider patient documents, with at least one of the plurality of providers having a patient docu ment distinct from the patient documents of the other of the plurality of providers. The patient interaction module is adapted to obtain patient specific information from a patient relating to information requested by the plurality of provider patient documents. The provider interaction module is adapted to transmit provider patient documents that include patient specific information relating to a specific patient in a format substantially identical to each of the providers. The present invention, in another form, is a method for creating a patient and health care provider document data base. First, a plurality of patient information documents is obtained from a plurality of providers. Next, the plurality of patient information documents are scanned and the patient information which is identified in the patient information documents is determined. A plurality of patient information template documents are created that include patient specific information from a patient database. Finally, a patient data base is created that includes data fields for patient information common to the plurality of patient information documents. Further aspects of the present invention involve the patient interaction module being adapted to obtain at least one of the following types of information: patient demographic, respon sible party, patient insurance, patient allergies, patient medi cations, patient current medical problem list, patient family history, patient social history, patient vaccination history, patient chief complaint, patient history of present illness, and patient Surgical history. The patient interaction module is adapted to store patient specific information in a data base file. The database file may include fields for at least one of the following types of information: record identifying, personal identifying, patient insurance/financial, advance directives, patient health status, care documentation, care plan recom mendation, and practitioners. The database file further includes extension fields for containing further information. The providerinteraction module is further adapted to transmit patient scheduling messages with a provider. The provider interaction module is further adapted to transmit patient documents by one of facsimile transmission, electronic data interchange transmission, electronic mail transmission, or regular mail delivery. Another aspect of the invention relates to a machine-read able program storage device for storing encoded instructions for a method of providing a patient information document to a health care provider according to the foregoing systems. 10 15 25 30 invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT INVENTION The embodiment disclosed below is not intended to be 35 40 45 50 55 60 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above mentioned and other features and objects of this invention, and the manner of attaining them, will become more apparent and the invention itself will be better under 4 stood by reference to the following description of an embodi ment of the invention taken in conjunction with the accom panying drawings, wherein: FIG. 1 is a flow chart diagram view of a patient registration process using the methodology of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flow chart diagram of the operation of the present invention relating to the initial screening process. FIG. 3 is a schematic relationship diagram of a database record in accordance with one embodiment of the present 65 exhaustive or limit the invention to the precise form disclosed in the following detailed description. Rather, the embodiment is chosen and described so that others skilled in the art may utilize its teachings. The detailed descriptions which follow are presented in part in terms of algorithms and symbolic representations of operations on data bits within a computer memory represent ing alphanumeric characters or other information. These descriptions and representations are the means used by those skilled in the art of data processing arts to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. An algorithm is here, and generally, conceived to be a self-consistent sequence of steps leading to a desired result. These steps are those requiring physical manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical or magnetic signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, and otherwise manipulated. It proves convenient at times, principally for reasons of common usage, to refer to these signals as bits, values, symbols, characters, display data, terms, numbers, or the like. It should be borne in mind, however, that all of these and similar terms are to be associ ated with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely used here as convenient labels applied to these quantities. Some algorithms may use data structures for both inputting information and producing the desired result. Data structures greatly facilitate data management by data processing sys tems, and are not accessible except through Sophisticated Software systems. Data structures are not the information content of a memory, rather they represent specific electronic structural elements which impart a physical organization on the information stored in memory. More than mere abstrac tion, the data structures are specific electrical or magnetic
US 8,060,376 B2 5 structural elements in memory which simultaneously repre sent complex data accurately and provide increased effi ciency in computer operation. Further, the manipulations performed are often referred to in terms, such as comparing or adding, commonly associated with mental operations performed by a human operator. No Such capability of a human operator is necessary, or desirable in most cases, in any of the operations described herein which form part of the present invention; the operations are machine operations. Useful machines for performing the operations of the present invention include general purpose digital comput 10 ers or other similar devices. In all cases the distinction between the method operations in operating a computer and the method of computation itself should be recognized. The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for oper ating a computer in processing electrical or other (e.g., mechanical, chemical) physical signals to generate other desired physical signals. The present invention also relates to an apparatus for per forming these operations. This apparatus may be specifically constructed for the required purposes or it may comprise a general purpose computer as selectively activated or recon figured by a computer program stored in the computer. The algorithms presented herein are not inherently related to any particular computer or other apparatus. In particular, various general purpose machines may be used with programs written in accordance with the teachings herein, or it may prove more convenient to construct more specialized apparatus to per form the required method steps. The required structure for a variety of these machines will appear from the description 15 25 30 6 An operator may stimulate a collection of interrelated objects comprising an object-oriented program by sending a message to one of the objects. The receipt of the message may cause the object to respond by carrying out predetermined functions which may include sending additional messages to one or more other objects. The other objects may in turn carry out additional functions in response to the messages they receive, including sending still more messages. In this man ner, sequences of message and response may continue indefi nitely or may come to an end when all messages have been responded to and no new messages are being sent. When modeling systems utilizing an object-oriented language, a programmer need only think interms of how each component of a modeled system responds to a stimulus and not in terms of the sequence of operations to be performed in response to Some stimulus. Such sequence of operations naturally flows out of the interactions between the objects in response to the stimulus and need not be preordained by the programmer. Although object-oriented programming makes simulation of systems of interrelated components more intuitive, the operation of an object-oriented program is often difficult to understand because the sequence of operations carried out by an object-oriented program is usually not immediately appar ent from a Software listing as in the case for sequentially organized programs. Nor is it easy to determine how an object-oriented program works through observation of the readily apparent manifestations of its operation. Most of the operations carried out by a computer in response to a program are “invisible' to an observer since only a relatively few steps in a program typically produce an observable computer out below. put. The present invention deals with “object-oriented” soft ware, and particularly with an "object-oriented operating system. The “object-oriented software is organized into “objects', each comprising a block of computer instructions describing various procedures (“methods”) to be performed in response to “messages' sent to the object or “events' which occur with the object. Such operations include, for example, the manipulation of variables, the activation of an object by an external event, and the transmission of one or more messages to other objects. Messages are sent and received between objects having certain functions and knowledge to carry out processes. Mes sages are generated in response to user instructions, for example, by a user activating an icon with a “mouse' pointer generating an event. Also, messages may be generated by an object in response to the receipt of a message. When one of the objects receives a message, the object carries out an opera tion (a message procedure) corresponding to the message and, if necessary, returns a result of the operation. Each object has a region where internal states (instance variables) of the object itself are stored and where the other objects are not allowed to access. One feature of the object-oriented system is inheritance. For example, an object for drawing a “circle” on a display may inherit functions and knowledge from another object for drawing a 'shape' on a display. A programmer “programs' in an object-oriented program ming language by writing individual blocks of code each of which creates an object by defining its methods. A collection of Such objects adapted to communicate with one another by means of messages comprises an object-oriented program. Object-oriented computer programming facilitates the mod eling of interactive systems in that each component of the system can be modeled with an object, the behavior of each component being simulated by the methods of its correspond ing object, and the interactions between components being simulated by messages transmitted between objects. In the following description, several terms which are used frequently have specialized meanings in the present context. The term “object relates to a set of computer instructions and associated data which can be activated directly or indirectly by the user. The terms “windowing environment”, “running in windows', and “objectoriented operating system are used to denote a computer user interface in which information is manipulated and displayed on a video display Such as within bounded regions on a raster Scanned video display. The terms 35 40 “network”, “local area network”, “LAN”, “wide area net 45 work”, or “WAN' mean two or more computers which are connected in Sucha manner that messages may be transmitted between the computers. In Such computer networks, typically one or more computers operate as a "server”, a computer with large storage devices such as hard disk drives and communi cation hardware to operate peripheral devices such as printers or modems. Other computers, termed “workstations', pro vide a user interface so that users of computer networks can 50 access the network resources. Such as shared data files, com 55 mon peripheral devices, and inter-workstation communica tion. Users activate computer programs or network resources to create “processes' which include both the general opera tion of the computer program along with specific operating characteristics determined by input variables and its environ ment. 60 The terms “desktop”, “personal desktop facility”, and “PDF mean a specific user interface which presents a menu or display of objects with associated settings for the user associated with the desktop, personal desktop facility, or PDF. When the PDF accesses a network resource, which 65 typically requires an application program to execute on the remote server, the PDF calls an Application Program Inter face, or API, to allow the user to provide commands to the network resource and observe any output. Although the fol lowing description details such operations in terms of a graphic user interface using icons, the present invention may
US 8,060,376 B2 7 be practiced with text based interfaces, or even with voice or visually activated interfaces. The term “Browser' refers to a program which is not necessarily apparent to the user, but which is responsible for transmitting messages between the PDF and the network server and for displaying and interact ing with the network user. Browsers are designed to utilize a communications protocol for transmission of text and graphic information overa worldwide network of computers, namely the “World Wide Web” or simply the “Web”. Examples of Browsers compatible with the present invention include the Navigator program sold by Netscape Corporation and the Internet Explorer sold by Microsoft Corporation (Navigator and Internet Explorer are trademarks of their respective own ers). Although the following description details such opera tions in terms of a graphic user interface of a Browser, the present invention may be practiced with text based interfaces, or even with voice or visually activated interfaces, that have many of the functions of a graphic based Browser. Browsers display information which is formatted in a Stan dard Generalized Markup Language (“SGML) or a Hyper TextMarkup Language (“HTML'), both being scripting lan guages which embed non-visual codes in a text document through the use of special ASCII text codes. Files in these formats may be easily transmitted across computer networks, including global information networks like the Internet, and allow the Browsers to display text, images, and play audio and video recordings. The Web utilizes these data file formats to conjunction with its communication protocol to transmit Such 10 15 tions from the various forms and format for the answers which shall become the data for the internal module to which 25 information between servers and workstations. Browsers may also be programmed to display information provided in an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) file, with XML files being capable of use with several Document Type Defi nitions (“DTD) and thus more general in nature than SGML or HTML. The XML file may be analogized to an object, as the data and the stylesheet formatting are separately con tained (formatting may be thought of as methods of display ing information, thus an XML file has data and an associated method). The terms “personal digital assistant” or “PDA', as defined above, means any handheld, mobile device that combines computing, telephone, fax, e-mail and networking features. 30 35 40 The terms “wireless wide area network or “WWAN’ mean a wireless network that serves as the medium for the transmis sion of data between a handheld device and a computer. The term "synchronization” means the exchanging of information between a handheld device and a desktop computer either via wires or wirelessly. Synchronization ensures that the data on both the handheld device and the deskto
