Apparatus and method for executing tasks

A computer-implemented method for executing multiple clinical tasks, the method comprising:

• registering, with a processor, a plurality of applications capable of executing clinical tasks, each application associated with at least one clinical task;
• receiving initial information regarding a first clinical task to be executed for a user;
• selecting, with the processor, from the plurality of registered applications a first application to be used to execute the first clinical task;
• verifying that the user is associated with the first clinical task;
• receiving from the verified user subsequent information concerning a second clinical task to be executed for the user;
• and
• selecting, with the processor, from the plurality of registered applications a second application to be used to execute the second clinical task, the second application operating on information common to the information used to execute the first clinical task.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, comprising computer executable instructions embodied therein, to be executed by a computer, for:

• registering, with a processor, a plurality of applications capable of executing tasks, each application associated with at least one task;
• receiving information regarding a first task to be executed for a user;
• selecting from the plurality of registered applications a first application to be used to execute the first task;
• receiving from the user subsequent information concerning a second task to be executed for the user;
• and
• selecting from the plurality of registered applications a second application to be used to execute the second task, the second application operating on information common to the information used to execute the first task.
