1. A system for providing a visual notification of a status of a patient examination, the system comprising:
- a) at least one visual indicator;
b) at least one control device in operative communication with the at least visual indicator;
c) one or more data stores;
d) one or more processors in operative communication with the one or more data stores and the at least one control device; and
e) one or more tangible non-transitory computer readable storage media upon which is encoded machine-readable code that when executed is configured so that the system carries out a method comprising;
receiving from one or more computer interfaces and storing in one or more of the data stores, data comprising information indicative of the status of the patient examination;
generating a signal indicative of the status of the patient examination using the one or more processors;
sending the signal indicative of the status of the patient examination to the at least one control device over at least one communication network using the one or more processors; and
changing a control parameter of the at least one visual indicator based on the signal indicative of the status of the patient examination using the at least one control device so as to cause the at least one visual indicator to reflect the status of the patient examination;
wherein the data comprising information indicative of the status of the patient examination is obtained or derived from an electronic medical record; and
wherein the status of the patient examination is relative to the stage of the patient examination in the examination room.
