The example method includes applying a transform to the query result data. The example method includes applying a data template and binding instructions to the transformed query result data to generate a formlet including data and at least one of associated relationship and functionality information for display of and interaction with the data. The example method includes facilitating runtime configurability of the formlet by a user. The example method includes displaying the formlet for user review and interaction.

Abstract: Certain examples provide systems and methods to organize clinical data using detailed clinical models and frames. An example system includes a clinical element query processor to query data organized according to one or more detailed clinical models. The clinical element processor is to form a frame from instances of the queried data. The example system also includes a transformer to receive the frame and operate on the data in the frame to transform the frame into a component to be used as a part of a clinical application.

Abstract: Certain examples provide systems, methods, and apparatus to model clinical data objects in a content-based clinical system. An example system includes a processor and a memory to implement a constraint definition language processor to define a detailed clinical model to express a clinical concept as a standardized and reusable set of clinical knowledge. The constraint definition language processor is to use a compiled, context-free constraint definition language to define the detailed clinical model as a compiled object. The constraint definition language processor is to provide the compiled object as content for at least one of a clinical content database and a clinical information system. Content represents one or more parameters to instruct a clinical application.
