Appl. No.:

12/082716

International Classification:

G06Q 50/00

US Classification:

705 2

Abstract:

The present invention is a colorectal cancer screening system that may be contractually deployed as a managed operation, either licensed or sold to community GIs or other endoscopists who also own endoscopy centers. The system includes an imaging center co-located with an existing or new endoscopy center, and a workflow there between that integrates the two modalities along with radiology services. The imaging center serves as a computed tomography colonography (CTC) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) screen and patient referral source to the endoscopy center. The defined workflow is a process for same-day patient flow generally comprising the steps of the imaging center submitting images for interpretation immediately after image acquisition, reporting the results to the patient, and when problems are detected, immediately directing and admitting the patient to the endoscopy center for same-day OC under an exclusive provider agreement. The foregoing system and workflow ensures optimal and customized use of technology for each patient, that is minimally invasive to patients, improves patient acceptance and satisfaction, avoids the need for an uncomfortable and inconvenient second colon prep, reduces overall healthcare costs, and results in higher community colorectal cancer screening rates.

International Classification:

C09K 328

US Classification:

252 81

Abstract:

Magnesium oxide and a zinc salt are reacted with one another to form a magnesium zinc complex salt which is added to a halogen-containing plastic composition to serve as a smoke and/or fire retardant during combustion of the plastic. This magnesium-zinc complex salt is normally added along with an antimony compound but may be used alone if desired.
