Abstract: A clinical data processing system systematically organizes and analyzes clinically significant information of a patient using a result flag indicating a critical or abnormal result to automate display of a view of clinical data in various contexts including diagnosis, insurance, medical complaint assessment and others to improve patient care. A system for use in processing patient clinical data for access by a user includes a repository associating an observation with a clinical significance indicator and with data indicating observations relevant to evaluation of the observation having the associated clinical significance indicator. A clinical data processor uses the repository fork automatically providing data for display in response to receiving data representing an input observation and an associated clinical significance indicator. The data for display supports a user in making a patient assessment and includes the input observation and associated relevant clinical data items.
