Template based filtering and summations flow sheet

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed to provide a moveable summary column and/or row for an electronic medical flow sheet. The summary column and/or row can provide various summations of the patient's data records for any time period depending on where the moveable summation column and/or row is placed. The summation of the various patient data depends on a type of the patient data. The summary column and/or row can be moved by the user to any spot in the patient data portion of the medical flow sheet to sum up different intervals of data. The moveable summation column and/or row presents summary data for patient parameters depending on the placement of the summation column and/or row.

 displaying, via a user interface, patient data in an electronic medical flow sheet, information in the electronic medical flow sheet organized according to at least one of columns and rows;   providing at least one of a moveable summation column and a moveable summation row particular to a type of the patient data, the moveable summation column or moveable summation row displayed in conjunction with the electronic medical flow sheet, the moveable summation column or moveable summation row to be positioned by a user over a particular column or a particular row of the electronic medical flow sheet to provide summation data for the particular row or the particular column according to the electronic medical flow sheet and the type of patient data; and   displaying summation data in the at least one of moveable summation column and moveable summation row in conjunction with the electronic medical flow sheet via the user interface.   
     
     
         11 . The computer-readable storage device or storage disc of  claim 10 , wherein the electronic medical flow sheet is presented in a column form and wherein a plurality of patient information columns contain a medical record for a medical event for a selected patient associated with a time and a date. 
     
     
         12 . The computer-readable storage device or storage disc of  claim 10 , wherein the electronic medical flow sheet is presented in a column form and wherein a medical parameter column in the electronic medical flow sheet contains a plurality of medical data parameters. 
     
     
         13 . The computer-readable storage device or storage disc of  claim 10 , wherein the moveable summation column summarizes data based on a row in the moveable summation column. 
     
     
         14 . The computer-readable storage device or storage disc of  claim 10 , wherein the moveable summation row summarizes data based on a column in the moveable summation row. 
     
     
         15 . The computer-readable storage device or storage disc of  claim 10 , wherein a type of the electronic medical flow sheet is associated with a set of medical event parameters for a particular medical team member. 
     
     
         16 . The computer-readable storage device or storage disc of  claim 15 , wherein the medical team member is selected from the group consisting of doctor, nurse, pharmacist, administrator, insurance coordinator. 
     
     
         17 . The computer-readable storage device or storage disc of  claim 10 , wherein an interval for the summation data of the moveable summation column or the moveable summation row is automatically determined based on where a user places the moveable summation column or the moveable summation row in the electronic medical flow sheet.
