System and method for mapping a patient interaction/information into a visual representation and review interface in order to map a patient interaction/information to a patient anatomy

1 . A method for anatomically mapping a medical health code, said method comprising the steps of:

receiving one or more medical health codes associated with a patient interaction;

associating the one or more medical health codes with a corresponding anatomical image selected from a library of anatomical images;

rendering on a first visual layer comprising a patient body map overlaid with the anatomical images associated with each of the medical health codes displayed on the first visual layer in a manner to correspond with the anatomical images; and

in response to a user performing pointing device control with the first visual layer, generating at least a second graphical and/or informational visual layer that displays additional information associated with the medical health code, the additional information comprising:

(i) the medical health code displayed in visual association with at least one radiographic, photographic, or diagnostic image corresponding to the medical interaction; and

(ii) insurance-adjusting or litigation-related information associated with the medical interaction, including both clinical and non-clinical information,

wherein the non-clinical information comprises at least one of claimant or plaintiff identification, insurance carrier identification and event or loss information, and wherein the clinical information comprises diagnostic and anatomical information corresponding to the medical health code.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more medical health codes are any alphanumeric code, translating the a-patient interaction for review, including a classification of the patient interaction.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient interaction is at least one of an encounter, diagnosis, procedure performed, test performed, prescriptions, device-collected data, devices, or supplies provided to the patient.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein associating the one or more medical health codes with a corresponding anatomical image is performed by a code matched to an anatomical image tagged with at least one code with map-coordinate information for rendering the image and code information onto the body map for further interaction.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first visual layer further comprises a time-stamp of the interaction.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first visual layer further comprises a time-line of previous interactions.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second visual layer presents at least one of a textual or numerical description with a related graphic further detailing the patient interaction.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the second visual layer may be previewed or quick-at-a-glance reviewed via the pointing device control.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the pointing device control is at least one of hovering, extended press, right or left click, single-click, delayed double-click, touch, extended touch, double-touch, swiped, pinched, hand-gestured, or voice-activated.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least second visual layer presents at least one of a textual or numerical description without a related graphic further detailing the patient interaction.

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the pointing device control including for at least one of hovering, extended press, right or left click, single-click, delayed double-click, touch, extended touch, double-touch, swiped, pinched, hand-gestured, or voice-activated for a preview tile or quick-at-a-glance review tile.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising a cursor control enabling a user to quick double-click over the preview tile for routing to at least one of the second visual layer.

13 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising a split screen visual display, wherein each screen represents a different layer and each screen modifiable in terms of sizing and position on the screen display.

14 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising at least one of an electronic-discovery tool for tagging, annotating, coding, or sharing the received patient interaction information.

15 . A system for generating an interactive body map of a patient medical history, said system comprising:

a processor;

a non-transitory storage element coupled with the processor for storing encoded instructions;

wherein the encoded instructions, when implemented by the processor,

configure the system to:

receive one or more medical health codes associated with a patient interaction;

associate the one or more medical health codes with a corresponding anatomical image selected from a library of anatomical images;

render on a first visual layer comprising a patient body map overlaid with the anatomical images associated with each of the medical health codes displayed on the first visual layer in a manner to correspond with the anatomical images; and

in response to a user performing pointing device control with the first visual layer, generating at least a second graphical and/or informational visual layer that displays additional information associated with the medical health code, the additional information comprising:

(i) the medical health code displayed in visual association with at least one radiographic, photographic, or diagnostic image corresponding to the medical interaction; and

(ii) insurance-adjusting or litigation-related information associated with the medical interaction, including both clinical and non-clinical information,

wherein the non-clinical information comprises at least one of claimant or plaintiff identification, insurance carrier identification and event or loss information, and wherein the clinical information comprises diagnostic and anatomical information corresponding to the medical health code.
