Abstract

A system and method for generating and displaying a treatment timeline user interface includes maintaining a database of patient information. The patient information includes patient identification information and exam data associated with patients. In response to a request for information pertaining to a particular patient, a treatment timeline user interface is generated and displayed based on information associated with the particular patient stored in the database. Input is received requesting modification of the displayed treatment timeline and, in response, the treatment timeline is updated and displayed.

Claims (52)

1. A method comprising:

maintaining a patient database of patient information, the patient information comprising a plurality of patient identifiers and associated examination data;

receiving a particular patient identifier;

generating a treatment timeline of a patient based on patient information associated with the particular patient identifier, the treatment timeline comprising:

a plurality of individual exam markers arranged by a date and a time of a respective exam along a first axis and arranged by exam modality along a second axis; and

a modality label identifying a modality that was used to examine a patient; and

a date label identifying a date associated with the respective exam;

displaying the treatment timeline; and

displaying multiple thumbnails of examination data in response to selection of multiple ones of the plurality of individual exam markers.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a request to modify the treatment timeline;

updating the treatment timeline based on the request to generate an updated treatment timeline; and

displaying the updated treatment timeline.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the request to modify the treatment timeline comprises input selecting a modality label and the updated treatment timeline comprises a display of a thumbnails of examination data pertaining to a modality identified by the modality label.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of individual exam markers represents examination data associated with a patient, a modality, and a date and time.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein examination data is displayed in response to selection of one of the plurality of individual exam markers.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein a thumbnail of examination data is displayed in response to selection of one of the plurality of individual exam markers.

7. An apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory to store computer program instructions, the computer program instructions when executed on the processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

maintaining a patient database of patient information, the patient information comprising a plurality of patient identifiers and associated examination data;

receiving a particular patient identifier;

generating a treatment timeline of a patient based on patient information associated with the particular patient identifier, the treatment timeline comprising:

a plurality of individual exam markers arranged by a date and a time of a respective exam along a first axis and arranged by exam modality along a second axis;

a modality label identifying a modality that was used to examine a patient; and

a date label identifying a date associated with the respective exam;

displaying the treatment timeline; and

displaying multiple thumbnails of examination data in response to selection of multiple ones of the plurality of individual exam markers.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , the operations further comprising:

receiving a request to modify the treatment timeline;

updating the treatment timeline based on the request to generate an updated treatment timeline; and

displaying the updated treatment timeline.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the request to modify the treatment timeline comprises input selecting a modality label and the updated treatment timeline comprises a display of a thumbnails of examination data pertaining to a modality identified by the modality label.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein each of the plurality of individual exam markers represents examination data associated with a patient, a modality, and a date and time.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein examination data is displayed in response to selection of one of the plurality of individual exam markers.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a thumbnail of examination data is displayed in response to selection of one of the plurality of individual exam markers.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer program instructions, which, when executed on a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

maintaining a patient database of patient information, the patient information comprising a plurality of patient identifiers and associated examination data;

receiving a particular patient identifier;

generating a treatment timeline of a patient based on patient information associated with the particular patient identifier, the treatment timeline comprising:

a plurality of individual exam markers arranged by a date and a time of a respective exam along a first axis and arranged by exam modality along a second axis; and

a modality label identifying a modality that was used to examine a patient; and

a date label identifying a date associated with the respective exam;

displaying the treatment timeline; and

displaying multiple thumbnails of examination data in response to selection of multiple ones of the plurality of individual exam markers.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , the operations further comprising:

receiving a request to modify the treatment timeline;

updating the treatment timeline based on the request to generate an updated treatment timeline; and

displaying the updated treatment timeline.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein each of the plurality of individual exam markers represents examination data associated with a patient, a modality, and a date and time.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein examination data is displayed in response to selection of one of the plurality of individual exam markers.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein a thumbnail of examination data is displayed in response to selection of one of the plurality of individual exam markers.
