Outcomes from a patient plan of care are provided in conjunction with documentation of patient assessment items to assist clinicians in the healthcare process. A documentation area for documenting assessment items for a patient and having areas for entering patient assessment information is presented. Additionally, an outcome icon is presented in conjunction with at least one assessment item. The outcome icon relates to at least one outcome corresponding with the assessment item and is based on the patient plan of care. In response to receiving a user selection of the outcome icon, information associated with the outcome is presented in context of the documentation area.

Patient outcomes in context of documentation

Management of patient activities for a clinician is provided via a patient activity list. The patient activity list includes a timeline view comprising a two-dimensional representation in which a first dimension corresponds with one or more patients assigned to the clinician and a second dimension corresponds with time periods. The timeline view includes one or more scheduled clinical activities, each scheduled clinical activity being presented in the timeline view based on a scheduled time and a corresponding patient. In response to a user selection of a time period in the timeline view, details of scheduled clinical activities corresponding with the selected time period are provided within the timeline view.

Viewing clinical activity details within a selected time period

Management of patient activities for a clinician is described herein. A patient activity list provides a common view of activities for patients assigned to a clinician for a given time period, such as a shift. The patient activity list provides a simplified view with critical indicators providing critical patient information. Patient activities may include ad hoc activities and scheduled activities presented in a timeline view based on the scheduled time period for each respective activity. Only activities relevant to the clinicians role are included and each activity is represented as a graphical icon representative of the type of activity. The patient activity list is fully navigable to allow the clinician to access further information and complete activities within context of the clinician's activities.
