Excerpt
Excerpt [0074] According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, a system is provided including an embedded search. The search provides an easy-to-navigate user interface that is also intuitive for healthcare professionals, for specifying the search request, and for displaying the search results together with a site search summary. In order to specify the search request, the user enters the keyword or phrase of interest and chooses one or more categories of resources in which to search, where the categories correspond to physician-intuitive groupings of types of sources. Optionally, the sources have previously been indexed by a search engine. A search specific results page including a site search summary and a list of search results within category is returned, both of which thereby provide a number of possibilities for drill down.
[0105] Reference is now made to FIG. 12, illustrating site search summary flow. The user 1201 has navigated to the site, e.g., the home page 1203, and has selected to utilize the search according to the invention. The user has typed in the search term within the search box 1205, including one or more of the resource categories in which to search. Upon submitting the search, actions are taken to produce the user's request search specific results page including the site search summary.
[0094] Other resources include, for example, clinical support tools that provide evidence based therapies and treatments, dosage recommendations, based on patient-specific data; an online ICD-9 Code reference for patient education; PDA software; a web-enabled version of well-respected texts, e.g., Brunwald's Atlas of Internal Medicine, including disease images, charts, and tables, which are optionally downloadable for incorporation into, e.g., medical lectures; and a meeting reporter having news, analysis, posters, and lecture summaries from major medical meeting. |
