A medical management system is provided that integrates all aspects of healthcare provider practice management and managed care, including schedule management, patient registration, insurance information, EMR and billing and collections. The system integrates a central framework module, a scheduling module, a registration module, an account management module and an electronic record module to provide a seamless exchange of information. A clinical module provides template builder which allows the users to define a customized template. The custom and standard templates are used by a document builder to generate documents, such as progress notes and H&P notes, which are retained in the patient's electronic chart. The progress note template allows the clinician to record a patient encounter by presenting the clinician with predefined sections and sentences that are easily completed by the clinician during or after the patient encounter. The templates and documents generated are designed to closely resemble a paper chart. Information gathered during patient scheduling and triage are referenced to pre-populate the templates to avoid having the clinician entering redundant information. The documents are relied upon to automatically generate patient superbills and electronic requests are sent to a claims clearinghouse.

A server system and a mobile device establish a push data framework for communication. The mobile device includes a push client, and runs one or more applications requiring push data communications. The push client transmits a device authentication and application validation request to a push server. Upon the push server successfully authenticating and validating the device and application, the push client receives a session identifier for establishing a persistent communication connection with the push server. Once established, an application server can push data to the mobile device via the persistent communication session. The session identifier remains valid for an extended period of time, and allows the push client to maintain and re-establish push connections with the push server for the duration of the extended period of time.

A system and method for consistently, reliably and equitably discounting medical bills of self-pay patients includes a networked discounting engine operably coupled to a plurality of databases. The discounting engine is adapted to receive patient account data from one or more patient registration systems. Based upon the patient account data received, the discounting engine accesses the plurality of databases to determine financial, asset and demographic attributes for a patient or responsible party. Based upon the patient account data received, and the determined financial, asset and demographic variable values, the discounting engine determines weights and points. Weights and points are then combined by the discounting engine to determine a weighted discount percentage to be applied against the patient's outstanding account balance. The discounting engine then generates and sends to the patient registration system an output file containing the discount percentage and other patient information. This information along with other billing information is communicated to a patient accounting system for preparing a discounted bill.

Dynamic registration of event handlers in a computer application or operating system recognizes multiple synchronous input streams by identifying each new stroke in a frame representing a single moment in time and mapping in a registration process each identified new stroke to a listening process that is associated with the user interface element to which the new input stream is to be applied. In the same frame, released strokes are unmapped and then each active listening process is called to carry out a respective control operation. When called, the strokes have the correct data for the given frame. The process is repeated for subsequent frames. By carrying out various processes in a sequence of frames, the concept of concurrency is preserved, which is particularly beneficial to multi-touch and multi-user systems.
