摘要

The present invention discloses a workflow oriented multi-screen healthcare information management system. The present invention allows the user to simultaneously access, display, and manipulate various healthcare information that are logically related on multiple screens without having to jump around or entering and exiting various screens. In particular, the present invention provides a first screen for managing information for a first point in the healthcare workflow and a second screen for managing information for a second point in the healthcare workflow, where the first screen and the second screen has a logical relation in the healthcare workflow. Various tasks in the healthcare workflow can be streamlined utilizing the system of the present invention. Specifically, the first and second screens can conveniently display complete patient history. The physician can write orders while viewing labs and medications. An X-ray report and problem list will be visible at the same time while the physician is writing SOAP notes. Writing discharge orders is simplified since all prescribed medications can be automatically printed. In addition, physician's orders are transmitted and processed automatically. As the result, physicians will benefit from improved efficiency, less time spent on charting, and more time spent with the patients. Errors will be reduced significantly throughout the entire healthcare process or workflow.
