- A workflow engine, embedded in the Platinum Smart PHR™, which automates care planning and coordination, disease management, and recurrence surveillance.
- Automatically displays a waiting-room clipboard summary (e.g., health insurance, medication list, allergies) of current, detailed Smart PHR™ information. Hand or fax a clipboard summary printout to providers instead of filling out the same clipboard form at every visit or grant online access.
- Guides consumers and family caregivers in the entry and updating of lifestyle information (e.g., diet and nutrition, community resources, activities of daily living, safety and caregiver concerns). Hand or fax a lifestyle summary printout to busy providers, informing them of matters that concern you.
- Equips cancer clinicians in entry and updating of a cancer-care summary including diagnostic results, treatment plans, and follow-up recommendations for lifestyle change and symptom surveillance. Go online with your cancer clinician and cooperatively update the cancer-care summary after a diagnosis, at the end of active treatment, and before discharge to a primary-care physician. Hand or fax a printout of the cancer-care summary to all the providers involved in follow-up care and ask them how their services fit into follow-up recommendations.
- Enables consumers and family caregivers to observe and graphically display adherence to lifestyle recommendations, cancer recurrence symptoms, medication side effects, treatment and follow-up milestones. Hand or fax a printout of the observations graph to providers (or grant them online access), so they can see the impact of milestones (such as a new drug) on a consumer's self-observed symptoms (e.g., pain) and side effects (e.g., nausea). Discuss with providers how their recommendations take into account these observations.
- Helps consumers and family caregivers coordinate, schedule, prompt, and confirm the results of various one-time and recurring health and human services. Use the observations graph to see the impact of these services (e.g., physical therapy) on a consumer's self-observed symptoms (e.g., pain) and side effects (e.g., nausea). Discuss with providers how their services take into account these observations.
