A clinical data processing system systematically organizes and analyzes
clinically significant information of a patient using a result flag
indicating a critical or abnormal result to automate display of a view of
clinical data in various contexts including diagnosis, insurance, medical
complaint assessment and others to improve patient care. A system for use
in processing patient clinical data for access by a user includes a
repository associating an observation with a clinical significance
indicator and with data indicating observations relevant to evaluation of
the observation having the associated clinical significance indicator. A
clinical data processor uses the repository fork automatically providing
data for display in response to receiving data representing an input
observation and an associated clinical significance indicator. The data
for display supports a user in making a patient assessment and includes
the input observation and associated relevant clinical data item,s. A
display processor initiates generation of data representing an image
including the data for display.
