Benefits of technology
Enables patients to feel more in control and informed about their care, allowing them to plan their day and communicate with loved ones more effectively, thereby improving their experience and satisfaction during their stay.
Problems solved by technology
While this information is generally viewable by the clinician and other authorized institution personnel, the electronic medical record is typically not made available to the patient for viewing.
In fact, the patient may not be aware that the medication administration has been scheduled for a particular time until the appropriate institution personnel arrives at his or her room to carry out the administration.
This overall unawareness of what is to take place throughout the day can make patients feel out of control and detached from the care they are receiving.
Further, when unaware of their daily schedules, patients often do not feel at ease to schedule events of their own.
Events such as this can be extremely frustrating and contribute to overall discontent with a patient's stay at the institution.

Embodiment Construction
[0010]Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods for use in, e.g., an in-patient care computing environment, for displaying clinically-related in-patient information on at least one patient-viewable display device. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a clinical order associated with an in-patient, automatically generating one or more tasks based on the clinical order received, and automatically displaying the task(s) on at least one patient-viewable display device. If desired, the method may further include associating the clinical order and the task(s) with an electronic record associated with the in-patient, and accessing the electronic record to obtain the task(s) for display on the at least one patient-viewable display device. Still further, if desired, the method may additionally include filtering the task(s) based on at least one criterion prior to automatically displaying the task(s) on the at least one patient-viewable display device.

Methods for use in, e.g., in-patient care computing environment, for displaying clinically-related in-patient information on at least one patient-viewable display device are provided. A method in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention may include receiving a clinical order associated with an in-patient, automatically generating one or more tasks based on the clinical order received, and automatically displaying the task(s) on the patient-viewable display device. If desired, the method may additionally include associating the clinical order and the task(s) with an electronic record associated with the in-patient (e.g., an electronic medical record), and accessing the electronic record to obtain the one or more tasks for display on the patient-viewable display device.
Description
[0001]This application is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 143,001 filed Jun. 2, 2005, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not Applicable.TECHNICAL FIELD[0003]The present invention relates to computing environments. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention relate to methods and systems for use in, e.g., an in-patient care computing environment, the methods and systems for displaying clinically-related in-patient information on at least one patient-viewable display device.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]In modern clinical settings, there is often an electronic record, e.g., an electronic medical record, associated with each patient presenting at a patient care institution, for example, a hospital or clinic. One example of such an electronic record is an electronic medical record, such as the PowerChart® application available from Cerner Corporation...
