Abstract :
This paper describes a prototype software application to display graphical and editable representations of patient data for use in electronic medical records (EMRs). The application dynamically generates graphics of cardiac and other patient data, and displays or saves them both in graphic and in text formats. The presentation of heart and other data in a consistent, clinically familiar, graphical format is designed to reduce the time necessary for anyone to review and understand this important information. Results of preliminary testing on actual case data are encouraging.
