Defining privileges in association with the automated configuration, implementation and/or maintenance of a healthcare information system

Abstract

Systems, methods and computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, for automated configuration, implementation and/or maintenance of a healthcare information system are provided. The systems, methods and computer-readable media of embodiments described herein utilize a number of information sources prior to initiation of configuration, implementation and/or maintenance to tailor or flex the process in a manner that is facility- and/or personnel-specific, thus alleviating solicitation of unnecessary information. Such information sources may include, by way of example only, one or more of facility- and/or personnel-specific content, facility and personnel profiles, site profiles, help and knowledge assistance information, and pre-configured content options. The more information to which the system has access prior to initiation of the configuration, implementation and/or maintenance process, the more tailored the configuration, implementation and/or maintenance may be and, accordingly, the less time and effort will be required by a user.

1 . A user interface configured for defining privileges based on position in configuring, implementing and/or maintaining a customized healthcare information system, the user interface comprising:
 a selected positions display portion configured to display a list of positions associated with a facility, each position in the list having at least one configurable privilege associated therewith;
 an instructional display portion configured to display instructions regarding one or more tasks to be completed to define the at least one configurable privilege associated with at least one of the positions displayed in the list; and 
 a reconciliation alert display portion configured to display a reconciliation alert if it is determined that a configuration definition associated with a given position is inconsistent with at least one other configuration definition associated with the given position. 
   
     
     
         2 . The user interface of  claim 1 , wherein the reconciliation alert display portion is further configured to display a reasonable inconsistency alert if it is determined that the configuration definition associated with the given position is reasonably inconsistent with at least one other configuration definition associated with the given position. 
     
     
         3 . The user interface of  claim 1 , further comprising a description display area configured to display a description of facility and/or industry privileges generally associated with at least one of the positions displayed in the list. 
     
     
         4 . The user interface of  claim 1 , further comprising a selectable copy indicator, selection of which initiates association of privileges associated with a first position in the list of positions with a second position in the list of positions.
