A computer-based electronic health records system including a display processor coupled to an associated memory, said display processor coupled to a computer display for displaying a patient's electronic health records, said display processor coupled to a computer-based health care network and running a display program from said associated memory, said display program comprising:

• a standards module, said standards module accessing a standards database over said health care network, said standards module retrieving from said standards database information regarding a first and second display, said standards module determining a first and second set of data to be displayed within said first and second displays respectively on said computer display based on said retrieved information;
• a patient records module, said patient records module accessing a patient records data base over said health care network, said patient records module selecting a first set of standard data to be displayed in said first display, said patient records module selecting a second set of standard data to be displayed in said second display, said patient records module retrieving said first and second sets of standard data and storing said first and second sets of standard data in said associated memory, said first and second displays having data fields in which data elements of said respective first and second standard sets of data are displayed;
• and
• a mapping module, said mapping module displaying said data elements of said first standard set of standard data within said data fields of said first display, said mapping module creating at least one virtual display field within said first display, said mapping module selecting data elements from said second set of standard data to be displayed within said first display, said mapping module displaying said selected set of second data elements within said virtual fields for composite display with said data elements of said first set of standard data.
