A computer system is programmed to display a set of order triplet icons which are linked together to represent a medical treatment plan. Each of the order triplet icons represent a step within the medical treatment plan. Each link between two order triplet icons, such as a first order triplet icon and a second order triplet icon, represents a sequence between two steps within the medical treatment plan. Each sequence, as represented by a link, includes a rule which may be configured to have a time delay. When configured to have a time delay, the second order triplet icon is activated upon expiration of the time delay, forming a sequence from the first order triplet icon to the second order triplet icon. The computer system may also be programmed to display a medical treatment plan in process flow form, referred to as a publisher's view. The process flow shows the contents of a set of order triplet icons which may include at least one healthcare activity and at least one rule, and the relationship between the icons in the medical protocol.

Graphical user interface in a medical protocol system having time delay

A method for processing data in a computer containing a processor is described, wherein the method comprises the steps of providing at least one program object having an instruction set, and at least one set of rules responsive to input data, the set of rules being used by the processor to determine program instructions to be issued, providing a form-based user interface, accepting input data from a user of a computer system through the forms-based user interface, causing the processor to compare the input data to one or more of the rules to determine at least one next program instruction to be executed, and then causing said at least one next program instruction to be executed. The forms-based user interface comprises standard Hyper-Text Markup Language constructs, together with new work flow interface commands which, depending on the information submitted to or received from the work flow process through one or more user interfaces, may alter that work flow process.

Method and apparatus for processing data across a computer network

An apparatus and method for providing a medical protocol graphic user interface 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. The various nodes may be connected to form a healthcare plan assigned to a patient. Costs may be assigned to each order and various costs of various treatments may be determined. Patient plans may be transferred or modified by other healthcare professionals.

Apparatus and method for a graphic user interface in a medical protocol

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 in real or virtual time slots and may be viewed in either a flow chart or a chart view format. The chart view format may be used by healthcare professionals to enter data. The graphical images include an order node, result node and flow node. The various nodes may be connected to form a healthcare plan assigned to a patient. Two separate medical treatment plans may be combined with duplicate or conflicting orders removed.

Apparatus and method for merging medical protocols

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.
