1. An information management system comprising:
- a monitoring arrangement for receiving signals indicative of a state of a dynamic system;
an output device for indicating a monitored state of the dynamic system based on said signals;
a computer configured to;
(a) maintain a representation of a prespecified plan for a procedure to be carried out on the dynamic system;
(b) record data concerning the progress of the procedure;
(c) automatically update the representation of the plan based on signals received from the monitoring arrangement; and
(d) reconfigure the output device according to the data concerning the progress of the procedure; and
an interface device for enabling a user to access the representation of the plan.

Abstract
An information management system comprises a computer representing a prespecified plan that is accessed by a user. The plan is for a procedure to be performed on a dynamic system having a monitored state that is indicated. The progress of the procedure is recorded. The plan is automatically updated based on the monitored state of the system. A device that indicates the monitored state is reconfigured according to the progress of the procedure.

10. A method of managing information about a dynamic system in response to actions by a user, comprising the steps of:
-
maintaining a representation of a prespecified plan for a procedure to be carried out on said dynamic system; accessing the representation of the plan in response to input from the user; recording data concerning the progress of the procedure; monitoring signals indicative of the state of the dynamic system to provide an indication of a monitored state of the dynamic system; automatically updating the representation of the plan based on said signals; and reconfiguring how the monitored state of the dynamic system is indicated according to data concerning the progress of the procedure. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
