Abstract
A computer-readable medium for displaying and providing access to a stored patient electronic medical record (EMR), the computer-readable medium comprising a code segment executable by a processor for providing a user interface screen for display to a user, the user interface screen comprising a graphically-displayed timeline, the timeline comprising a first axis for time and a second axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis, the second axis being divided into a plurality of sections in parallel with each other, each section corresponding to a different type of patient information, each section comprising a display of patient data corresponding to that section'"'"'s type of patient information, wherein the displayed patient data in each section is located on the timeline at a position such that the patient data is chronologically-ordered. The displayed timeline can be used as an access point for retrieving a wealth of information about the patient. Also disclosed herein are corresponding methods and systems for displaying and providing access to electronic patient medical records.

15. A method for displaying a patient electronic medical record (EMR), the method comprising:
-
graphically displaying a timeline, the timeline comprising a first axis for time and a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, the second axis comprising a plurality of sections, each section being associated with a different type of patient data; and
displaying a plurality of patient data items on the timeline, the patient data items comprising data from a patient'"'"'s EMR, each item having an associated date and an associated patient data type; and
wherein the data item displaying step comprises;
(1 ) along the first axis, chronologically placing each item at a position within the timeline in accordance with that item'"'"'s associated date, and (2) along the second axis, placing each item within the second axis section that corresponds to that item'"'"'s associated patient data type. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
