Abstract: A method includes displaying a window of a first application which includes text corresponding to a patient identifier for a first patient. The method further includes receiving input corresponding to a preconfigured input sequence associated with an electronic health records (EHR) agent, and initiating, by the EHR agent in response to the preconfigured input sequence, a patient information overlay process. The patient information overlay process includes sending a copy command to copy first text from the window of the first application to the clipboard, accessing the first text, searching the accessed first text for an identification of a patient, determining that the patient identifier represents an identification of a patient, accessing patient information for the first patient based on the patient identifier, and displaying an overlay interface overlaid over the window proximate a cursor, the overlay interface including accessed patient information for the first patient.
