Computer implemented methods, systems and frameworks configured for facilitating pre-consultation information management, medication-centric interview processes, and centralized management of medical appointment data

摘要

Described herein are computer implemented methods, systems and frameworks configured for facilitating pre-consultation information management, along with embodiments that extend beyond that area of application. Various embodiments described herein are intended to operate in the context of a pre-consultation interview arrangement, in relation to a proposed consultation between a "user" and a "consultant". The user operates a computing device (for example a PC, laptop, notebook, tablet, smartphone, PDA or the like) thereby to interact with a computer-delivered interface. This interface may serve a range of purposes, with major examples considered herein including the conducting of a pre-consultation interview and the booking of an appointment. The pre-consultation interview obtains, from the user, various aspects of personal information relevant to a proposed consultation (and relevant to the user generally). This information is then transformed into form appropriate for a consultant. For example, this may include the generation of a technical brief and/or data for integration into a consultant's electronic data management systems. In some cases the pre-consultation interview provides a translation mechanism between language conventionally used by the general public, and technical language preferred by a consultant. This translation may extend beyond "layman's terms to technical language", and optionally include translation between foreign languages.
