Andres Hernandez - Downingtown PA, US

International Classification:

G06K 15/00

US Classification:

358001140

Abstract:

A document processing system links and chains data identifying document deficiencies together for use in monitoring document completion to control workflow and automate document completion. A document processing system includes at least one repository including chain data identifying, multiple document deficiencies, individual document deficiency type and an order for addressing the document deficiencies for providing completed documents. A task processor uses the at least one repository in automatically assigning tasks to be performed by one or more workers in the order for addressing the document deficiencies to correct the deficiencies.

US Classification:

705003000, 715511000

Abstract:

A system auto-analyzes a document to automatically complete a record (e.g., a patient record) and create data indicating a document deficiency and assign data indicating the deficiency after the document is acquired into a patient record based on the type of the document and a predefined set of rules. A healthcare document processing system processes data indicating a document deficiency preventing a document from being designated complete. The system includes an interface for receiving data including a patient record identifier and data identifying a document, and an associated document type, the document having been added to a patient record having the patient record identifier. A document processor, in response to the received data, automatically: searches deficiency information associated with the patient record to identify a document deficiency associated with the document of the document type; indicates a deficiency associated with absence of the document from the patient record is corrected; and determines if a new deficiency is associated with the document and generates associated deficiency data identifying the new deficiency for incorporation in the deficiency information.

Abstract:

A document deficiency processing system enables a clinician to complete a deficiency by filling and electronically signing a form online using a form template created and associated with a particular document type and automatically initiates sending the filled form to a patient record. A healthcare document processing system for processing a document deficiency preventing a patient record from being designated complete, includes a repository of form information associating an individual form with a document type. A workflow processor automatically employs the repository to identify a particular form, in response to receiving data indicating a document having a particular document type is missing from a record of a particular patient. The workflow processor automatically initiates communication of a message to a user to prompt the user to complete the particular form on-line. An interface initiates communication of data representing the filled in particular form to the record of the particular patient.
