Abstract

A method for quickly providing accurate data to a user includes creating a list of at least one subject characteristic, collecting subject data corresponding to the at least one subject characteristic in a clipboard application and accessing an integrated application interface requiring selected data from the subject data and entering the selected data in the integrated application.

Claims

1. A method for quickly providing accurate data to a user, said method comprising:

creating a list of at least one subject characteristic;

collecting subject data corresponding to the at least one subject characteristic in a clipboard application; and

accessing an integrated application interface requiring selected data from the subject data and entering the selected data in the integrated application.

2. A method in accordance with claim 1 further comprising importing the selected data from the clipboard application.

3. A method in accordance with claim 1 wherein accessing an integrated application interface requiring selected data from the subject data further comprises implementing the integrated application to be context aware.

4. A method in accordance with claim 3 wherein implementing the integrated application to be context aware further comprises recognizing identifying text and entering the selected data that corresponds to the identifying text.

5. A method in accordance with claim 1 wherein collecting subject data corresponding to the at least one subject characteristic in an application further comprises forming a clipboard application including at least one subject data heading, subject data corresponding to the at least one subject heading and at least one rule corresponding to the at least one subject heading.

6. A method in accordance with claim 5 wherein forming a clipboard application further comprises updating the at least one subject heading, subject data corresponding to the at least one patient heading and the at least one rule corresponding to the at least one subject leading when a new subject name is entered into the clipboard.

7. A method in accordance with claim 1 wherein collecting subject data further comprises collecting data regarding a patient'"'"'s allergies, medications and name.

8. A method in accordance with claim 1 further comprising pressing shortcut keys to select a subject data heading and subject data.

9. A computer system for quickly providing accurate data to a user, said system comprising a server configured to:

create a list of at least one patient characteristic;

collect patient data corresponding to the at least one patient characteristic in an application;

access an integrated application interface requiring selected data from the patient data; and

enter the selected data.

10. A system in accordance with claim 9 wherein said server further configured to import the selected data from a clipboard application.

11. A system in accordance with claim 9 wherein said server further configured to implement an integrated application as context aware.

12. A system in accordance with claim 11 wherein said server further configured to recognize identifying text and enter the selected data that corresponds to the identifying text.

13. A system in accordance with claim 9 wherein said server further configured to form a clipboard application including at least one patient data heading, patient data corresponding to the at least one patient data heading and at least one rule corresponding to the at least one patient data heading.

14. A system in accordance with claim 13 wherein said server further configured to update the at least one patient data heading, patient data corresponding to the at least one patient data heading and the at least one rule corresponding to the at least one patient data heading when a new patient name is entered into a clipboard application.

15. A system in accordance with claim 9 wherein said server further configured to collect data regarding a patient'"'"'s allergies, medication'"'"'s and name.

16. A computer system comprising a server configured to:

simultaneously operate a plurality of integrated clinical applications;

create a list of at least one patient characteristic;

collect patient data corresponding to the at least one patient characteristic in an application;

access an integrated application interface requiring selected data from the patient data; and

enter the selected data.

17. A computer system in accordance with claim 16 wherein said server further configured to import said selected data from a clipboard application.

18. A computer system in accordance with claim 16 wherein said server further configured to implement the integrated application as context aware.

19. A computer system in accordance with claim 18 wherein said server further configured to recognize identifying text and enter the selected data that corresponds to the identifying text.

20. A computer system in accordance with claim 16 wherein said server further configured to form a clipboard application including at least one patient data heading, patient data corresponding to the at least one patient data heading and at least one rule corresponding to the at least one patient data heading.
