Preserving context in a multi-tasking clinical environment: a pilot implementation.
The Partners Clinical Application Suite (CAS) is a multi-tasking software architecture that facilitates the development, deployment, and use of advanced clinical information management applications. This paper describes 1) a software shell in which clinical applications run; 2) an application programming interface (API); and 3) development of a set of "Look & Feel" guidelines. Through its emphasis on support for multi-tasking and application interoperability, CAS facilitates preservation of the user's context.
