Application of an intelligent graphical interface to electronic patient records.
Physicians are under a lot of pressure to perform. The power of the computer can be used to reduce the cognitive stresses. The use of an intelligent graphical interface can tailor the information that is presented to the physician. The user can be assured that all the information is presented and that important facts are brought to the users attention. The screen displays can be made to be self organizing. This saves the user the effort of moving and resizing windows. The technology to do this has been developed and has been applied to a web browser interface. This paper describes the advantages of applying this technology to medical records databases.
