Abstract
Integrating patient data to facilitate review and annotation is a challenging task in the intensive care unit (ICU), partially due to the wide variety of proprietary systems and types of data involved. This paper describes SIMON-Web, a Java-based user interface to integrate data from an existing bedside monitoring system and a clinical information system (CIS). SIMON-Web displays graphical data from physiologic monitors and other bedside devices as well as information from the clinical laboratory and physician order-entry systems, and allows users to annotate the data using a point-and-click or free-text interface. By continuing to add functionality to SIMON-Web's extensible user interface, we hope to continue to augment and eventually replace manual care provider data charting in the ICU. As of March, 1997, SIMON-Web has been implemented on two bedside personal computer workstations in the cardiac care unit (CCU) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
