Dual Screen Interface

Abstract

A computer implemented dual graphical user interface system having a dual graphical user interface program executable to segregate a patient's medical record into two distinct interacting parts which correspond with the use of a first graphical user interface and a second graphical user interface and correspondingly segregated in a first image display area and a second image display area. The first graphical user interface interactive with the user allows viewing of the cumulative electronic medical records of one or more patients and a second graphical user interface interactive with the user allows entry of information into the electronic medical record of one or more patients. The first and second graphical user interface allowing independent user interaction while interoperably connected to update the first graphical user interface with patient data entered into the second graphical user interface.

         38 . The system of  claim 37 , wherein one or more of said first plurality of screens overlaid on said first display surface remain uncoupled with one or more of said second plurality of screens overlaid on said second display surface, wherein user interaction with said one or more of said first plurality of screens which remain uncoupled to one of said second plurality of screens causes said program to display said one of said first plurality of screens on said first display surface for user viewing without affecting said plurality of second graphical user interface images. 
     
     
         39 . The system of  claim 38 , wherein said first plurality of screens selectable by user interaction with one of a first plurality of index tabs displayed on said first display surface of said first computer. 
     
     
         40 . The system of  claim 39 , wherein said first plurality of index tabs includes a medical history tab. 
     
     
         41 . The system of  claim 38 , wherein said second plurality of screens selectable by user interaction with one of a second plurality of index tabs displayed on said second display surface of said second computer. 
     
     
         42 . The system of  claim 41 , wherein said second plurality of index tabs includes a progress note tab and an orders tab. 
     
     
         43 . The system of  claim 35 , wherein data entries entered directly by said user into said second plurality of data fields depicted on said second display surface. 
     
     
         44 . The system of  claim 35 , wherein said program when executed further functions to translate said plurality of electronic medical records associated with said patient identifier into a common format which allows segregation of user interaction with said electronic medical record into said two distinct parts. 
     
     
         45 . The system of  claim 35 , wherein said first computer and said second client computer each further include a transceiver, wherein said program when executed by said first computer or said second computer further functions to operate each said transceiver to exchange communication signals directly between said first and second computers to coordinate display of said first plurality of screens on said first display surface and display of said second plurality of screens on said second display surface. 
     
     
         46 . The system of  claim 35 , wherein said program when executed further functions to:
 configure said second computer as an image capture device capable of capturing an image;   configure said first client computer to receive said image captured by said second computer;   associate said image captured by said second computer with said plurality of electronic medical records associated with said patient identifier; and   display said image captured by said second computer on said first display surface.   
     
     
         47 . The system of  claim 35 , wherein said program when executed further functions to:
 depict a submit control icon which by user interaction stores said data entries entered by said user in said second plurality of data fields to said plurality of electronic medical records associated with said selected one of said plurality of patient identifiers; and   concurrently depict said data entries in said first plurality of data fields included in said first screen on said first display surface.   
     
     
         48 . The system of  claim 35 , wherein said first computer operated at a distance from said second computer, said first screen displaying said first plurality of data fields populated with said electronic medical record viewable by said first user, said second screen depicting said second plurality of fields viewable by a second user, wherein data entries by said second user in said second plurality of data fields results in modification of said medical record populated in said first plurality of data fields depicted on said first display surface viewable by said first user. 
     
     
         49 . The system of  claim 35 , wherein entries in said second plurality of fields comprises a prescription for a medication. 
     
     
         50 . The system of  claim 49 , wherein said program when executed functions to:
 compare said prescription entered into said second plurality of data fields to prescription equivalents contained in a prescription database;   depict said prescription associated with a prescription price in said second screen; and   depict said prescription equivalents associated with prescription equivalents prices in said second screen.
