Abstract:
1. An apparatus for viewing and organizing patient data objects of a data structure comprising: a display; a user interface; a memory containing a plurality of patient identifications having associated therewith the patient data objects, said patient data objects including patient physiological data; and a processor operably connected to the display, the user interface, and the memory and including a program for causing the processor to display from memory the plurality of patient identifications and associated patient data objects of each patient identification on the display for selection via the user interface, to assign in memory the associated patient data objects of selected patient identifications to a designated group in a group hierarchy of other designated groups, to display from memory the patient data objects assigned to the designated group on the display for selection via the user interface, to assign in memory selected patient data objects to a user-defined tag which characterizes the selected patient data objects to a user-specified event undefined originally in the data structure, wherein the user-defined tag is one or more descriptive keywords which annotate and classify the selected patient data objects to the user-specified event, to receive a specified user-defined tag selected via the user interface from other displayed user-defined tags each characterizing a selection of patient data objects to a different user-specified event undefined originally in the data structure, and to retrieve from memory and display on the display all patient data objects in the group hierarchy that are assigned the specified user-defined tag; wherein the program further causes the processor to create in memory a data segment from a time series provided in the patient data objects; and wherein the program further causes the processor to permit both a selection via the user interface of one or more of the displayed user-defined tags contained in the chosen one or more designed groups and of a query choice which instructs the processor to display on the display as a group the patient data objects belonging to either a union of the one or more chosen designed groups and a received selection of the one or more displayed user-defined tags, or an intersection between the one or more chosen designed groups and the received selection of the one or more displayed user-defined tags.
