Abstract
Methods and apparatus for client-side context managers are disclosed. An example apparatus for use in a healthcare information system includes a primary application implemented on a client device in communication with a server; a secondary application implemented on the client device, wherein the primary application is to be initiated before the secondary application can be initiated; and a context manager integrated into the primary application to execute in connection with the primary application.
Claims19
A healthcare information system, comprising:
- a primary application of the healthcare information system implemented on a client device in communication with a server, the primary application to facilitate launching of a secondary application implemented on the client device, wherein the primary application is required to be initiated before the secondary application can be initiated;
- and
- a context manager integrated into the primary application and to be automatically executed inside a process of the primary application in response to the primary application being initiated, the context manager to provide context information to the secondary application launched via the primary application.
A method for use in a healthcare information system, comprising:
- implementing a primary application of the healthcare information system on a client device in communication with a server, the primary application to facilitate launching of a secondary application;
- implementing the secondary application on the client device, wherein the primary application is required to be initiated before the secondary application can be initiated;
- and
- in response to an initiation of the primary application, executing a context manager inside a process of the primary application, wherein the context manager is integrated with the primary application, the context to provide context information to the secondary application launched via the primary application.
A tangible computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least:
- implement a primary application on a client device of a healthcare information system, the client device in communication with a server, the primary application to facilitate launching of a secondary application;
- implement the secondary application on the client device, wherein the primary application is required to be initiated before the secondary application can be initiated;
- and
- in response to an initiation of the primary application, execute a context manager inside a process of the primary application, the context manager integrated with the primary application and to provide context information to the secondary application launched via the primary application.
