SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING A DIGITAL WATERMARK ON A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE AS IDENTIFYING INDICIA IN A HEALTHCARE SETTING

摘要

A method for use in a computer system is provided that links a patient with patient-related data that is displayed on a graphical user interface. The method includes first determining if a digital watermark is required. If a digital watermark is required, the current background color for the display of patient-related data is obtained, along with an intensity value. The subject matter for the watermark is also obtained. The color of the digital watermark is calculated, based upon the obtained background color and intensity value. The digital watermark is then rendered on the display.
