The Patient Journey Demonstrator provides exemplar implementations of Microsoft Health CUI guidance, as well as being a showcase for some new ideas.
In our recent update, we made a number of key enhancements to the demonstrator, including:
Presence Indicators
Presence indicators show you if a clinician is available or not. Adding them for each clinician facilitates shared care, group and remote working practices.
More Navigation Bar Options
You can now navigate between demonstrators as well as within demonstrators.
Silverlight PatientBanner
We’ve incorporated the Silverlight Patient Banner from the Microsoft Health Common User Interface controls library.
Menu Pearl
Our new Menu Pearl device allows you to directly access demonstrator features. In this release, Menu Pearl lets you create a consultation.
Create a Consultation
The star feature of this release is interactive consultation creation - you can easily record a patient’s problem and the associated history. Problems are SNOMED CT encoded as are the examinations and medications, within the limits of the demonstrator (stick to ‘Chest Pain’ and everything will be fine!). Returning to the patient record, you’ll see your data propagated to the appropriate place, including the Medications Views.
Key highlights of the consultation creation feature are:
- SNOMED CT terminology lookup
For demonstration purposes we use a small subset of the SNOMED CT library to find codes for the consultation problem. When you choose ‘Chest Pain’, we pre-populate the likely examination fields. If you add a new examination associated with height or weight, then the system automatically appends ‘kg’ or ‘cm’ to the value.
- Search and prescribe medications
We’ve used a subset of the dm+d here – you can prescribe anything you like… so long as it’s ‘gtn’– intelligent text entry box recognizes abbreviations. We’ve implemented contextual association that suggests likely dosages for particular medication. If you want to see what can be encoded at the moment, see the latest script.
Silverlight MedicationsListView
We’ve incorporated the MedicationsListView control from the Microsoft Health Common User Interface controls library. This is where the data you added in the consultation appears.
Drug Details on Patient Chart Table View
We’ve expanded the view with drug detail and frequency columns.
Visual Makeover of the ECG Charts
We’ve been busy exploring different ways to represent the DeepZoom ECG data. One of these explorations was to make the full result set look more like the live ECG. This is an easter egg - to enjoy, press F8 once as soon as the demonstrator has loaded and before you navigate to the section.
Angiogram Annotations
We’ve added a host of new annotation features to the Angiogram video. You’ll find a tool bar for measuring, inking, drawing marquees, zooming in and going full screen. We provide a collapsible list of the annotation history, the ability to attach a note to each annotation, details of who and when the annotation was made and a frame by frame selector showing which annotations are already on the video and providing navigation to those frames.
Further posts are planned to detail out these features. Send us your feedback or join the discussion on CodePlex.
