- a display screen including a single unified user interface to provide clinical content to a user at a plurality of levels of resolution based on user interaction with the interface and accept user input with respect to clinical content to trigger access to each of the plurality of levels of granularity for the clinical content via the single unified user interface; and
a processor to provide a plurality of levels of resolution for the clinical content within the single unified user interface, the plurality of levels of resolution comprising;
a graphical summary representation of a patient-related clinical data value, the graphical summary representation having one or more visible characteristics indicating an importance of the patient-related clinical data value, the graphical summary representation displayed to the user via a first panel occupying a portion of the user interface triggered by selection of a patient via the user interface;
a thumbnail trend view providing a graph of data elements used to provide the patient-related clinical data value shown in the graphical summary representation, the thumbnail trend view triggered for display via the user interface upon a positioning of a cursor over the graphical summary representation, the thumbnail trend view to be displayed in a second panel positioned in or with the first panel showing the graphical summary representation;
a full trend view providing an enlarged graph of data elements used to provide the patient-related clinical data value shown in the graphical summary representation and the thumbnail trend view, the full trend view triggered for display via the user interface upon a selection of the thumbnail trend view, the full trend view to be displayed in a third panel positioned at least adjacent to the second panel showing the thumbnail trend view and the first panel showing the graphical summary representation, wherein the user interface facilitates dragging and dropping of a data element onto the graph of the full trend view to compare values of the data elements; and
an originating data view retrieving and displaying, via the user interface in a fourth panel, a source document corresponding to at least one data element on the graph shown in the thumbnail trend view, the originating data view triggered for display via the user interface upon a selection of the at least one data element on the graph shown in the thumbnail trend view.

Abstract
A multi-level information display system graphically represents clinical information for a user. The system includes a user interface providing clinical content to a user and accepting user input with respect to clinical content. The system also includes a graphical summary representation of a patient-related clinical data value. The graphical summary representation has one or more visible characteristics indicating an importance of the patient-related clinical data value. The system also includes a thumbnail trend view providing a graph of data elements used to provide the patient-related clinical data value shown in the graphical summary representation. The system further includes an originating data view retrieving and displaying, via the user interface, a source document corresponding to at least one data element on the graph shown in the thumbnail trend view. The various views are displayed via the user interface based on user manipulation of a cursor with respect to the displayed views.

8. A method for graphical, multi-level information display of patient clinical information to a user, said method comprising:
-
generating, using a processor via a display screen, a user interface providing clinical content to a user at a plurality of levels of resolution based on user interaction with the interface and accepting user input with respect to clinical content to trigger access to each of the plurality of levels of resolution for the clinical content via the single unified user interface; providing, using the processor, a graphical summary representation of a patient-related clinical data value as a first level of resolution, the graphical summary representation having one or more visible characteristics indicating an importance of the patient-related clinical data value, the graphical summary representation displayed to the user via a first panel occupying a portion of the user interface triggered by selection of a patient via the user interface; providing, using the processor, a thumbnail trend view including a graph of data elements used to provide the patient-related clinical data value shown in the graphical summary representation as a second level of resolution, the thumbnail trend view triggered for display via the user interface upon a positioning of a cursor over the graphical summary representation, the thumbnail trend view to be displayed in a second panel positioned in or with the first panel showing the graphical summary representation; providing, using the processor, a full trend view including an enlarged graph of data elements used to provide the patient-related clinical data value shown in the graphical summary representation and the thumbnail trend view as a third level of resolution, the full trend view triggered for display via the user interface upon a selection of the thumbnail trend view, the full trend view to be displayed in a third panel positioned at least adjacent to the second panel showing the thumbnail trend view and the graphical summary representation, wherein the user interface facilitates dragging and dropping of a data element onto the graph of the full trend view to compare values of the data elements; and providing, using the processor, an originating data view retrieving and displaying, via the user interface in a fourth panel, a source document corresponding to at least one data element on the graph shown in the thumbnail trend view as a fourth level of resolution, the originating data view triggered for display via the user interface upon a selection of the at least one data element on the graph shown in the thumbnail trend view. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
