  • Method and apparatus for graphical user interface-based and variable result healthcare plan
    Patent number: 5786816
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing a medical protocol graphic user interface which graphically merges medical treatments is provided. The apparatus and method generates a plurality of graphic images representing a medical treatment plan. The graphic images are presented in a chronological order based on real or virtual time slots and may be viewed in either a flow chart or a chart view format. The view chart format may be used by healthcare professionals to enter data. The graphical images include an order node, result node and flow node located in certain time slots. The various nodes may be connected to form a healthcare plan assigned to a patient. A result node may be split into two result nodes. Each result node may be positioned in a different time slot corresponding to when results are available.
