Abstract
Ergonomic graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for displaying medical record information obtained from various sources within handheld devices are provided. A GUI for display within a touch screen display of a handheld device includes adjacent first and second portions. A list of patient names is displayed within the first portion of the GUI, along with medical facility location information, means for indicating when new clinical data for a patient is available, means for removing patient names from the displayed list, and means for sorting the displayed list of patient names. A plurality of ergonomically designed GUI controls are displayed within the second portion of the GUI. Each of these GUI controls has a width that is between about 15% and 75% of a width of the display, and a height that is between about 15% and 75% of a height of the display. According to embodiments, a GUI for display within a touch screen display of a handheld device includes adjacent first and second portions, wherein the second portion has a height that is between about 30% and 70% of a height of the GUI. Information for a respective patient is displayed within the first portion and includes patient identification and location information. At least some of the displayed information is responsive to user touching for displaying additional patient information. Various GUI controls are displayed within the second portion, and is responsive to user touching for performing various functions. Each of the GUI controls in the second portion has a width that is between about 15% and 75% of a width of the second portion, and a height that is between about 15% and 75% of a height of the second portion.
