Abstract: A mobile computing device includes computer-executable instructions contained in nonvolatile computer-readable memory which, when executed by a processor of the device, perform a method including the steps of providing a plurality of application user interface screens, and enabling the person to navigate between the application user interface screens based on receiving user input by the person. Each application user interface screen represents a different context of use of the application for accomplishing a different respective result or performing a different respective activity by a person interacting with the application on the computing device. In variations thereof for use on PCs, application user interface windows are provided. In other variations, different user roles with different access privileges and/or different functionality forms the basis of the different contexts. I still other variations, both types of contextual bases are utilized.

Abstract: A computer readable medium storing a computer program for providing a medication administration workflow in a user-interface (UI). The computer program executable by at least one processor, the computer program comprising sets of instructions for receiving one or more scanned medications for administration to a selected patient, determining a status of each of the one or more scanned medications, displaying a medication list including at least the one or more scanned medications and the respective status of the scanned medication, selecting one of the one or more medications in the medication list, and addressing any outstanding items associated with the selected medication.

Abstract: A user interface element includes a display area configured to display a value, an increment button configured to increment the displayed value, a decrement button configured to decrement the displayed value, and a slider configured to allow a user to rapidly increase or decrease the displayed value by sliding a finger across the slider.

Abstract: A method includes displaying, to a user via an electronic display, a radial control comprising a plurality of concentric arcs, the radial control including a first central section defined by a first arc of the plurality of concentric arcs, and a plurality of child sections collectively defined by the first arc and the other arcs of the plurality of concentric arcs, the plurality of child sections being delineated from one another by dividers extending between two or more arcs of the plurality of concentric arcs, wherein the first central section is associated with a parent activity and each of the plurality of child sections is associated with a child activity related to the parent activity.

Abstract: Tool bars are provided along lateral edges of a display of a handheld computing device. The tool bars include icons that represent application features. The user may interact with the application by touching the icons on the display. Since mobile computing devices are commonly held at the lateral sides of the device, navigation and activation buttons are in close proximity to a natural location of a user's thumbs. The proximity of the tool bars to the thumbs increases efficiency and accuracy when interacting with the application. The tool bars may be displayed in an expanded state such that a text label may be displayed to identify the application feature that each icon represents. The tool bars may also include functionality that displays additional information for any of the application features represented by the icons without navigating the application away from the current screen.
