Abstract
Certain examples provide a computer-implemented method. The method includes displaying, at an initial position, a first entry of a plurality of entries of a table. The method includes displaying a first indicator to indicate that the first entry has been assigned from a set of unlocked entries to a set of locked entries, and that the first entry is assigned to a first lock position. The method includes sorting the plurality of entries to determine a first sort order including a first sort position of the first entry that is different from the first lock position. The method includes displaying the set of unlocked entries according to the first sort order and displaying the first entry at the first lock position.
Claims20
A method executed by a computer processor, comprising:
- displaying, at an initial position, a first entry of a plurality of clinical data entries of a table;
- displaying a first indicator to indicate that the first entry has been assigned from a set of unlocked entries to a set of locked entries, and that the first entry is assigned to a first lock position, the first indicator visually distinguishing a locked entry from an unlocked entry and being shown while the first entry is locked;
- sorting the plurality of entries based on a first criterion associated with the clinical data entries in the table to determine a first sort order including a first sort position of the first entry that is different from the first lock position;
- displaying the set of unlocked entries according to the first sort order and displaying the first entry at the first lock position;
- displaying a sorted position number in association with at least one entry, the sorted position number indicating a position of the associated entry with respect to the first criterion;
- sorting the plurality of entries based on a second condition to determine a second sort order including a second sort position of the first entry that is different from the first lock position;
- and
- displaying the set of unlocked entries according to the second sort order and re-displaying the first entry at the first lock position.
A clinical information system comprising:
- a memory storing instructions and data and a processor to execute the instructions, the processor to execute the instructions to:
- display, at an initial position, a first entry of a plurality of entries of a table;
- display a first indicator to indicate that the first entry has been assigned from a set of unlocked entries to a set of locked entries, and that the first entry is assigned to a first lock position the first indicator visually distinguishing a locked entry from an unlocked entry and being shown while the first entry is locked;
- sort the plurality of entries based on a first criterion associated with the clinical data entries in the table to determine a first sort order including a first sort position of the first entry that is different from the first lock position;
- display the set of unlocked entries according to the first sort order and displaying the first entry at the first lock position;
- display a sorted position number in association with at least one entry, the sorted position number indicating a position of the associated entry with respect to the first criterion;
- sort the plurality of entries based on a second condition to determine a second sort order including a second sort position of the first entry that is different from the first lock position;
- and
- display the set of unlocked entries according to the second sort order and re-displaying the first entry at the first lock position.
