Abstract: A method for providing a first dashboard that includes a first several window panes for providing information about a first set of aspects of a patient's condition. The method also provides a second dashboard that includes a second several window panes for providing information about a second set of aspects of a patient's condition. The method further defines a link that causes the second dashboard to be opened when an item is selected in at least one of the first several window panes.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for monitoring patients in a unit of a hospital, an entire hospital, or several hospitals. In some of these embodiments, the methods receives data pertaining to multiple patients. The method aggregates the data and calculated scores based on the received data. The method also calculates trends associated with the aggregated data and/or the generated scores. The method further displays the aggregated and calculated data in a unified display that facilitates efficient allocation of resources in the hospital unit, the hospital, or the group of hospitals.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide an intelligent method for displaying patient data. The method identifies a medical or non-medical condition. Based on the identified condition, the method then identifies a user interface for displaying patient data to a user.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide an automated method for continuously monitoring at least one patient. The method continuously collects medical data about the patient from several different inputs. The method integrates the collected data, and continuously computes at least one severity score for the patient based on the integrated data. The method uses the severity scores to continuously monitor the patient. In some embodiments, integrating the data includes formatting the data so that that the data can be used to compute the severity score. Formatting the data in some embodiments includes using a set of database tables to convert the data. In some embodiments, the database tables are modifiable by a user. Some embodiments continuously compute multiple severity scores. The severity scores computed in some embodiments include the APACHE II score, the SAPS II score, the MEWS score, or user-defined severity scores.
