Abstract
An interactive and intelligent electronic health record system which allows a healthcare provider to review and directly interact with patient data in real-time at the point of care without navigating to another portion of the electronic health record. A healthcare provider may directly interact with data presented for review in an electronic health record by interacting with the respective data field and ordering or updating a patient'"'"'s treatment regimen from within the medical tests results screen within the patient'"'"'s electronic health record at the point of care. Real-time interaction with the results displayed in an electronic health record improves efficiency and care provided by physicians by preventing mental lapses, duplicative orders, and possible omissions. The system provides status indicators within a patient'"'"'s updated electronic health record to show that a data value has been addressed or is currently being addressed, preventing duplicative orders and improving the healthcare administered to patients.
