1. A computer-implemented patient information presentation method, comprising:
- identifying with a computer system, a plurality of groups of patient-related data that is a subset of possible groups of patient-related data that captures actual physical patient condition at the time of capture, to be displayed to a caregiver of a patient who is under care in a healthcare facility, the identifying based at least in part on a determined present physical condition of the patient, wherein the groups each represent multiple aspects about the patient;
extracting, with a data extractor of the computer system programmed to identify relevant data for the patient, a subset of parameters that represent values for particular ones of the multiple aspects in each of the plurality of identified groups, so as to form a particular subset of data about physical patient condition from a first set of data;
grouping, with the computer system, the subset of parameters into particular ones of the plurality of identified groups that each contain a plurality of parameters that represent physical patient condition, based on a determined relatedness among parameters in each of the plurality of groups, so as to form groups separate from a set of data from which the subset of parameters is extracted;
providing, with a real-time patient-monitoring application executing on the computer system, data in a form for visual display to the caregiver that shows at least some of the subset of parameters arranged visually in the groups, with values for the plurality of parameters organized according to the groups to which each of the plurality of parameters corresponds, with individual ones of the groups that are displayed being selected based on the current physical condition of the patient, and the displayed groups being displayed in physical layout position relative to each other as a result of the identifying based on the determined present physical condition;
receiving, in response to providing the data in the form for visual display in displayed groups input from a caregiver to order a procedure or change a therapy; and
in response to receiving the input, ordering the procedure or change in therapy through an integrated computerized physician order entry system,wherein the extracting step selects parameters to be extracted based on a stored score that aggregates results from submitting to multiple caregivers questions regarding importance they placed on particular parameters in treating patients and receiving answers to the questions from the multiple caregivers.

Abstract
A computer-implemented patient information presentation method is disclosed. The method includes extracting, from records maintained for a patient under care in a healthcare facility, a subset of data points for that patient that are determined to represent data points of highest relevance to a subset of potential caregivers for the patient. The method also includes grouping the subset of data points into a plurality of groups based on a determined relatedness among data points in each of the plurality of groups, and generating a display for presentation to a caregiver that shows at least some of the subset of data points arranged in the groups.
