Claim Text:
1. An interruption workflow management system providing an interactive graphical interface to affect workflow operation and workstation behavior for a clinical enterprise, said system comprising: a particularly programmed processor including computer program instructions, the instructions, when executed by the processor, to implement: a user interface including a first area, a second area, and a third area dynamically generated and displayed by the processor, each of the first, second, and third areas of the user interface providing an output and accepting a user input, the first area dynamically displaying, for user selection, a plurality of graphical patient indicators, each graphical patient indicator visually representing a patient task and associated with a context, each graphical patient indicator selectable and movable with respect to the user interface to facilitate execution of the associated patient task, the second area dynamically displaying patient information associated with a first graphical patient indicator selected from the plurality of graphical patient indicators in the first area and moved from the first area to the second area by user interface manipulation to dynamically update the user interface, the second area configured to accept user input with respect to the first graphical patient indicator while the first patient indicator remains in the second area, the second area configured according to the patient task and context associated with the first patient indicator, and the third area dynamically displaying and holding the first graphical patient indicator when the first graphical patient indicator has been moved from the second area into the third area, the third area configured to maintain pendency, context and status information for the first graphical patient indicator while a second graphical patient indicator is positioned in the second area, the second graphical patient indicator providing a second patient task and context to the second area, the third area configured to facilitate restoration of patient task and context associated with the first graphical patient indicator in the second area when the first graphical patient indicator is moved from the third area to the second area to replace the second graphical patient indicator in response to user input, wherein the second area and third area react to the movement of at least one of the respective first and second graphical patient indicators between the second area and the third area to dynamically change content and context displayed in at least the second area based on the movement of the at least one of the respective first and second graphical patient indicators.
