Method and system to create and customize medical data sheets and reporting pages

A computer-implemented method for creating a customized electronic data sheet (EDS), the method comprising:

• executing program instructions at one or more processors to:
• in a configuration phase, receive layout instructions, through a graphical user interface (GUI), in connection with a customized page layout to be rendered for display in connection with entering and viewing clinical data of an EDS, wherein the customized page layout includes page objects, panel objects, and panel item objects that are nested within one another and relate to a specific medical procedure, and wherein the customized page layout provides for configuration of clinical data stored in a data source,
• in the configuration phase, build a nested EDS database structure for the customized page layout based on the layout instructions, wherein the nested EDS database structure defines a manner in which the customized page layout is rendered for display,
• in the configuration phase, receive a rule designation through the GUI,
• in the configuration phase, generate a rule, based on the rule designation, that binds clinical data stored in the data source to at least one of the page objects, panel objects or panel item objects of the customized page layout, the rule designating an operation to be automatically performed based on the clinical data, and
• in an implementation phase wherein user input selects the specific medical procedure for reporting, using the nested EDS database structure and the rule to render for display the custom page layout to enable the user to enter and view clinical data for the specific medical procedure.
