20110133444 | Color coded anatomical and non-anatomical sticker labels to be used on medication bottles to identify what medication is used for and when medication is due to be administered - Current medication labels are very difficult for people with disabilities, language barriers, functional impairments, or illiteracy to read, potentially increasing the risk for accidental medication overdoses and/or poor compliance with medication administration and adherence. By having a color coded sticker system with an enclosed full body guide in the form of a poster, and a home health medication record card, these stickers are placed on each medication bottle as a symbol for what the medication is used for. The stickers are color coded in order to distinguish the time the medication is to be administered. Home health agencies may use the poster and stickers as they educate their patients about the medications they take. | 06-09-2011 |

20090271218 | PATIENT-DIRECTED HEALTHCARE QUALITY IMPROVEMENT SYSTEM - Particular embodiments provide a quality adherence guide. In one embodiment, a plurality of medical records from a plurality of medical providers are received. A quality adherence guideline is used to determine if a standard of care is being adhered to by various medical providers. A quality adherence guideline is then generated using the selected standard of care. The quality adherence guideline includes a set of treatment steps that are defined by the selected standard of care. Information from the medical records associated with the patient is also used to populate the guide. During treatment of the patient, input may be received from a plurality of users from health care providers regarding the treatment steps. The patient-direct system automatically analyzes the information inserted in the guideline to determine the level of adherence that various users have achieved when compared with the industry standard for quality care. | 10-29-2009 |
20130226617 | SCORING SYSTEM FOR RATING A LEVEL OF ADHERENCE TO STEPS IN A TREATMENT PLAN - Particular embodiments generate a guideline for a patient using a selected treatment plan related to a medical condition. A method automatically populates a first portion of a set of treatment steps with information from a set of medical records and also receives input from users regarding a second portion of the set of treatment steps. The second portion is populated with information based on the received input. The method then determines a plurality of treatment steps for the treatment plan that include information based on the automatically populated medical information or the received input and calculates a rating score that quantifies a level of adherence to the treatment plan. The rating score combines individual rating scores for the plurality of treatment steps of treatment plan into a single score based on information for the plurality of treatment steps. | 08-29-2013 |

20080271521 | Jet-Action Plunger-Based Tensiometer Apparatus - The present invention is embodied in a tensiometer apparatus and process that employs novel techniques for performing the required routine service operation of refilling a sealable measurement chamber of the apparatus with liquid from a reservoir using a novel, piston-type, “jet-action” plunger mechanism. These novel techniques result in a tensiometer which is easier to use, requires no tools for assembly or replacement of parts, and is easier and lower cost to manufacture and maintain. These novel techniques also result in a tensiometer which has improved measurement sensitivity and accuracy, higher reliability and a longer operating lifetime than conventional tensiometers. | 11-06-2008 |
20110057672 | COAXIAL SENSOR FOR TIME-DOMAIN REFLECTOMETRY - A sensor is provided for testing a porous medium using time-domain reflectometry. The sensor includes an inner conductor, an outer conductor and a ceramic material interposed there-between. The inner conductor runs along a longitudinal axis of the sensor. The outer conductor has a hollow axial interior and is oriented around the inner conductor. The ceramic material is solid, porous, exhibits a known liquid release curve and fills an axial gap between the inner and outer conductors. A dielectric substance can be applied to an exterior surface of the inner conductor to enable the testing of a porous medium which is highly dissipative. The inner conductor can be permeable and have a hollow axial interior. A hydrophobic material can also be interposed between the inner and outer conductors. | 03-10-2011 |
20110128026 | HELICAL SENSOR FOR TESTING A COMPOSITE MEDIUM - A sensor is provided for testing a composite medium. The sensor includes a tube and three or more conductors which are wound in a continuously parallel helix around the tube such that the conductors are interleaved. The tube is non-porous and electrically insulative. Both the proximal end and the distal end of the tube are open. Each turn of each conductor is equally spaced from the adjoining turns of the other conductors, and the conductors have a common helical length. The sensor can also include a first cap which seals the proximal end of the tube and a second cap which seals the distal end of the tube such that the interior of the tube is always filled with air. | 06-02-2011 |
