A cloud-based, query management and education system enables provider organizations to query and educate clinicians on how to clarify clinical documentation, resulting in more accurate reimbursement, public reporting, research and policy decisions. Query authors create compliant queries from stored templates which may be supplemented by attaching and/or annotating selected documentation from the patient record. Clinician responses to such queries automatically generate addenda in the relevant patient record. All events around a query are tracked and reportable through a graphical performance scorecards and reporting dashboards.
- Claim:
1. A system for distributed query management comprising: a network accessible memory for storing data associated with a plurality of patient records; a query management server comprising: a query platform configured to generate a first network accessible interface for authoring queries for clinicians and configured for receiving queries from a plurality of query authors, each of the queries identifying one of the plurality of patient records and including a query date, a request for a clinician to clarify a respective identified patient record, and a due date for the clinician to know when a response is required; the query platform configured to generate a second network accessible interface for clinicians to respond to queries; and wherein the second network accessible interface enables targeted educational content for the respective clinician to help reduce need for similar future queries to the respective clinician.
- Claim:
2. The system of claim 1, further comprising an executable publisher interface process configured to generate a network accessible publisher interface for displaying content and configured for enabling provider processes operatively coupled to the query management server over a network to upload content to the accessible publisher interface.
- Claim:
3. The system of claim 1, wherein a query template is configured to store data comprising information not stored in the network accessible memory for storing data associated with a plurality of patient records.
- Claim:
4. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of patient records comprises data representing any of name, date of admission, date of discharge if available, date of birth, age, location, account number or billing number, medical record number, length of stay, days post discharge if available, and insurance company.
- Claim:
5. The system of claim 1 wherein a list of standard answers to the authored query is presented to a clinician as a list of possible answers.
- Claim:
6. The system of claim 1, wherein the second network accessible interface for clinicians to respond to queries is generated on a mobile device.
- Claim:
7. The system of claim 1, wherein the query management server further comprises an executable template editor configured to generate a network accessible user interface enabling query authors to select, create, store or categorize query templates useful in authoring queries.
- Claim:
8. A method for query management of patient information in a cloud-based network comprising: providing a query management server operatively coupled to a network accessible memory for storing data associated with a plurality of patient records; receiving at the query management server a query from one of a plurality of query authors, the query identifying one of the plurality of patient records and including a request for a clinician associated with the identified patient record to clarify the identified patient record; transmitting via the query management server the received query to the clinician, including a link to targeted educational content for the respective clinician to help reduce need for similar future queries to the respective clinician; and receiving at the query management server a response from the clinician.
- Claim:
9. The method of claim 8, further comprising: enabling provider processes operatively coupled to the query management server over a network to upload content for display to a plurality of query author processes and query response processes.
- Claim:
10. The method of claim 8, wherein a query template may be configured to store data comprising any of a question, a list of possible answers, clinical information, query title, query instructions, provider education information, tags for reporting purposes, branding or footnote information.
- Claim:
11. The method of claim 8, wherein the plurality of patient records may comprise data representing any of name, date of admission, date of discharge if available, date of birth, age, location, account number or billing number, medical record number, length of stay, days post discharge if available, and insurance company.
- Claim:
12. The method of claim 8, further comprising generating graphical scorecards with an executable rating process, the graphical scorecards indicating performance measures of query response processes to query author processes.
- Claim:
13. The method of claim 8, wherein the query received by the clinician is received on a mobile device.
- Claim:
14. The method of claim 8, further comprising maintaining a plurality of query templates in memory accessible by the query management server and enabling a query author to perform any of select, modify, store or categorize one of the plurality of query templates.
- Claim:
15. A computer program product for use with a computer processor comprising a non-transient computer usable medium containing computer usable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method for query management of patient information comprising: providing a query management server operatively coupled to a network accessible memory for storing data associated with a plurality of patient records; receiving at the query management server a query from one of a plurality of query authors, the query identifying one of the plurality of patient records and including a request for a clinician associated with the identified patient record to clarify the identified patient record; transmitting via the query management server the received query to the clinician, including a link to targeted educational content for the respective clinician to help reduce need for similar future queries to the respective clinician; and receiving at the query management server a response from the clinician.
- Claim:
16. The computer program product of claim 15, further comprising enabling provider processes operatively coupled to the query management server over a network to upload content for display to a plurality of query author processes and query response processes.
- Claim:
17.
