Systems and methods for rendering a graphical object that visually represents those physiological components that account for a patient's acute physiology are provided. The method includes performing an acute physiology score (APS) calculation using diagnostic parameters to realize points associated therewith. The diagnostic parameters individually provide a measure of the patient's complete acute physiology. These points are combined to generate body-system scores that are values associated with each of the physiological components, respectively. Typically, the physiological components are predefined in number and each correspond with a respective body system. The method further includes the step of generating a graphical object that visually represents the body-system scores in an intuitive format, such as a pie graph. The graphical object is then rendered on a display device, and is presented in a bed gadget associated with a particular patient staying in the ICU.
