further comprising receiving third user input, the third user input indicating user selection of a category icon; and

in response to receiving the third user input, filtering the timeline to comprise a sub-set of the plurality of medical events, medical events in the sub-set corresponding to a category associated with the category icon.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein each medical event corresponds to an event category of a plurality of event categories.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving patient data and/or patient information from an electronic medical record (EMR) associated with the patient, the summary information comprising at least a portion of the patient data and/or patient information.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining the chronological order based on timestamp information associated with each of the one or more events.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving user input associated with a medical event; and

in response to the user input, displaying detailed medical event information.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein displaying detailed medical event information comprises displaying an event screen in place of the timeline screen.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving user input; and

in response to the user input, scrolling the timeline in the timeline screen to display another portion of the plurality of medical events.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving user input; and

in response to the user input, zooming the timeline in the timeline screen to display another portion of the plurality of medical events.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one medical event of the one or more medical event comprises an icon, the icon graphically depicting an event category associated with the at least one medical event.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the icon comprises a generic icon that is provided for all medical events of the same event category.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the icon comprises an event-specific icon that is specific to a sub-category associated with the at least on medical event.

12. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving user input specific to a medical event; and

in response to the user input, manipulating summary information provided in the medical event.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein manipulating summary information provided in the medical event, comprises scrolling the manipulating summary information provided in the medical event.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the summary information provided in the medical event comprises a waveform, and manipulating comprises scrolling the waveform.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein the summary information provided in the medical event comprises a plurality of thumbnail images, and manipulating comprises scrolling between images of the plurality of thumbnail images.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving first user input, the first user input indicating a user command to display a timeline screen;

in response to receiving the first user input, determining, by a data management system executed by the one or more processors, that portions of the user command are associated with patient data stored in a plurality of data stores associated with a plurality of facility systems of a healthcare continuum, each data store in the plurality of data stores being associated with a respective facility system of the plurality of facility systems and being accessed through a user-facility index that maps an identifier associated with the user to two or more facilities, in a plurality of facilities, that the user is associated with as a healthcare provider to determine a plurality of medical events to be graphically depicted, the plurality of medical events being specific to a patient, the data management system comprising a data cache module configured to selectively operate in a pass-through mode and a reposed mode to improve performance of retrieval of the patient data, the pass-through mode enabling real-time mode retrieval of the patient data from a plurality of facility systems by using data identifiers and passing the patient data onward for responding to the user command;
