Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and apparatus for providing query support for a real-time patient care graphical view. Location information associated with one or more patients and information associated with at least one indicator of care of at least one of the patients may be received. A graphical user interface may display the location information associated with the patients and the at least one indicator of care of at least one of the patients in a geospatial arrangement. The graphical user interface may be updated when a change occurs in either the location information associated with the patients or the at least one indicator of care of at lease one of the patients. In addition, a user query for the location information associated with each of the patients receiving care from a physician may be received and output in the geospatial arrangement via the graphical interface.
