1. A medical device, comprising:
- an input interface for receiving current result data of medical tests performed on a patient;
a processor; and
memory having stored therein instructions executable by the processor to perform functions of;
creating an output of the current result data of the medical tests in a layout having rows and columns, wherein the layout is in a form of a table structure with data in the columns corresponding to results collected on the same day, and data within the rows corresponding to results collected from the same medical test;
retrieving from the memory stored previous result data of medical tests performed on the same patient;
providing the stored previous result data of medical tests performed on the same patient in the layout in a separate column adjacent to margin space of the layout, so that previous result data and current result data of the same medical test are in the same row in the layout, wherein medical tests are performed by multiple instruments and the current result data and the previous result data pertaining to related medical tests are output in adjacent rows;
indicating a type of instrument used to perform a medical test in a row above the row including the current result data and the previous result data of the medical test; and
outputting the layout to a graphic user interface.

Abstract
A method and system for reporting medical data including both current and past medical results for medical tests performed on a patient is provided. The medical data is output in columns, and the current results and past results of the same medical test are presented in the same row. In this manner, the report is provided in a layout that has rows and columns, so that all current results are presented in one column, and all past results are presented in a separate column. In addition, graphs of the medical results can be displayed to illustrate current and past medical results in a view that allows for trend and comparative diagnosis.

28. A computer readable storage medium having stored therein instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to perform functions of:
-
receiving current result data of medical tests performed on a patient; creating an output of the current result data of the medical tests in a layout having rows and columns, wherein the layout is in a form of a table structure with data in the columns corresponding to results collected on the same day, and data within the rows corresponding to results collected from the same medical test; providing previous result data of medical tests performed on a different day and on the same patient in the layout in a separate column to the right and adjacent to a column of the current result data, so that previous result data and current result data of the same medical test are in the same row in the layout, wherein the previous result data are from medical tests performed on the same testing date and wherein medical tests are performed by multiple instruments and the current result data and the previous result data pertaining to related medical tests are output in adjacent rows; and outputting the layout to a graphic user interface.
