FIELD: physics, computer engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to generation of a graphical representation of patient status. The method comprises the following steps: storing patient state data in a storage connected to a network; applying rules to data elements stored in the storage via a rules engine connected to the network; receiving the output of the rules engine at a results processor; determining from the output of the rules engine whether an assessment measure relating to the state of the patient should be updated; receiving the determinations from the results processor at a smart graphic generator; retrieving data elements stored in the storage; updating the assessment measure by combining the received determinations with the received data elements to provide an updated assessment measure of the current state of the patient; determining, based on the updated assessment measure, an indicator attribute such that the attribute reflects the updated value of the assessment measure; generating a graphic representation based on the retrieved data elements; and displaying the graphic representation over the network.
EFFECT: enabling continuous updating of the state of a patient to alert healthcare provider.
