Abstract: An anatomic user interface (58) is provided for accessing healthcare information for a patient at the point of care. The anatomic user interface (58) generates an anatomic model (402) of the patient from which a practitioner drills down to and selects a particular anatomic structure for which healthcare information is to be accessed. The anatomic user interface obtains standard reference anatomic information and patient-specific anatomic information from an anatomic data model (84) and uses this information to generate an anatomic model (402) that accurately represents the anatomy of the patient. Once the practitioner selects a particular anatomic structure of the patient, a constraint engine (82) identifies the healthcare information associated with the selected anatomic structure as constrained by outside factors impacting accepted medical practice and returns it to the anatomic user interface (58) for display.
