Worksheet System for Determining Measured Patient Values for Use in Clinical Assessment and Calculations

A method for determining measured patient values for use in clinical calculations, comprising the activities of:

• using an electronic form comprising a single display image including labels for values of parameters including blood pressure, ventricular assessments and cardiac flows and a plurality of image areas including,
• a first area including data fields for presenting values of said parameters associated with a first part of a cardiac catheterization study of a patient and
• a second area including data fields for presenting values of said parameters associated with a different second part of a cardiac catheterization study of said patient;
• enabling a user to copy at least one of said parameters comprising a measured value from said first area to said second area as a substitute value eliminating a need for a re-measurement of said value;
• and
• automatically calculating a cardiac flow value for incorporation in said second area in response to said measured value being copied into said second area.

• automatically recording data identifying a particular parameter copied by a particular user between a particular type of first area and a particular type of second area and in response to establishing a pattern of copying by a particular user, at least one of
• (a) automatically copying a value of the parameter between the particular type of first area and particular type of second area and
• (b) automatically prompting the particular user to allow automatic copying of the value of the parameter between the particular type of first area and the particular type of second area, enabling a user to copy at least one of said parameters comprising a measured value from said first area to said second area as a substitute value eliminating a need for a re-measurement of said value.

• a prediction processor for, in response to user command, automatically copying parameter values from at least one of said first area and said second area, to a third area;
• and
• a calculation processor for automatically calculating a cardiac flow value for incorporation in said third area in response to said parameter values being copied into said third area.
