Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing patient care plans are provided. In embodiments, a graphical user interface provides for the presentation and management of patient care plans. The user interface includes a plan summary area that is configured to display information relating to a patient care plan. The user interface also includes a plan detail area configured to display an activated patient care plan that is indicated by an activated icon. Additional informational icons are displayed in both the plan summary area and the plan detail area. The activated patient care plan includes orders that are displayed in an order summary area. The number of orders of the patient care plan to be signed is indicated in the plan detail area. The user interface may also include a checks alerts input to proactively check alerts before signing the orders.

Claims
