Electronic medical record system providing cross-patient data population and display

A computer-implemented method for cross-patient data population and compact data display in a computerized electronic medical record system for maintaining electronic medical records for patients, the method comprising:

• providing a computerized electronic medical record system for cross-patient data population and compact data display comprising:
• a memory operatively comprising a non-transitory data processor-readable medium;
• a data processor operatively connected to the memory;
• and
• patient record data stored in the memory for each of a plurality of patients;
• shared chart template data stored in the memory, each shared chart template defining data fields for data elements from multiple patient data records;
• retrieving of data values associated with a shared chart template from a first patient electronic medical record of the first patient;
• retrieving data values associated with the shared chart template from a second patient electronic medical record of the second patient;
• and
• displaying a shared chart template graphical user interface window that displays data retrieved data values from the first patient electronic medical records and the second patient medical record within a physical display area of a display device.
