  • Publication number: 20060004605
    Abstract: A system and method for a comprehensive interactive graphical representation of a health care facility for managing patient care and health care facility resources. The system comprises an integrated enterprise health care information system including at least one data repository for storing data and at least one graphical user interface for accessing data. The graphical user interface comprises a display area for displaying a graphical representation of all areas of the at least one health care facility. The graphical representation is preferably an interactive map of the at least one health care facility stored in the data repository. Because the graphical representation of the at least one health care facility is integrated within the enterprise health care information system, it allows a user access patient data and health care facility resource data, perform actions on the displayed patients and health care facility resources, and manage patient care and health care facility resources.

  • Publication number: 20050283387
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for providing a comprehensive interactive anatomical graphical representation of a body for use in a health care environment. The system comprises a health care information system having at least one data repository for storing data and at least one graphical user interface in communication with the at least one data repository, and at least one anatomical map of a body stored in the health care information system and displayable by the graphical user interface for managing care. Because the graphical representation of the at least one anatomical map of a body is integrated within the enterprise health care information system, it allows a user to access patient data and health care facility resource data, perform actions on the displayed patients and health care facility resources, and manage patient care and health care facility resources.
