  • Fig. 17 shows a decision support tool 500 useful for the management of players and human resources.
  • the flow of FIG. 17 begins with a player.
  • the medical team and team management use the computerized system 22 to follow the flow of data 33 associated with a player from the pre-draft time period until the player is drafted.
  • the users of the computerized system shown in FIG. 17 are medical teams and team management.
  • FIG. 17 shows how the data 33 is used by the computerized system 22.
  • Medical teams and management study the databases including the electronic health record 100, physiological exams 38, biomechanics 38, cognitive 38 and the sports teams databases 34. Then the management team and medical team study the external databases 52, 54.
  • the knowledge based processing component 50 process the data 33 for the benefit of team management and the medical teams, and outputs the data 33 in easy to use and understand formats .
  • pre-draft decision support 160 draft decision support 162
  • draft decision support player fitness 164 management of human resource 166.
  • Management of human resources is useful because team management can look at all the data pertaining to a particular player, and then compared the player' s data against similarly situated players. The task of processing all the data 33 to make such comparisons is performed by the knowledge based system 50 processor 60. Then management can assess a player' s performance and fitness objectively, and even track improvements in the player's physical condition. Team management and medical personnel can use the internet 300 to rapidly access the data and make well reasoned decisions .
  • the electronic health record 100 allows for streamlined and more efficient management, since management and medical teams are up to date with what the other is doing. Flow is much improved, as the electronic health record 100 is instantly available to authorized users, and avoids the need for paper records. This saves massive amounts of time and money and results in superior decision making at the medical and management levels.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système informatisé permettant de produire et de tenir à jour un dossier médical électronique. Ce système comprend un ordinateur présentant une unité centrale de traitement, des instructions pouvant être exécutées par un ordinateur et destinées à être exécutées sur l'unité centrale de traitement, ainsi qu'un dispositif de saisie permettant de saisir des données de dossier médical dans une base de données de dossiers médicaux électroniques. Cette base de données de dossiers médicaux électroniques est en communication électronique avec l'unité centrale de traitement et stocke et organise des données concernant un participant. Le système informatisé est également en communication électronique avec un dispositif de sortie qui permet d'accéder à la base de données de dossiers médicaux électroniques et aux données qui y sont stockées.
