Data analysis system

摘要

A system and method for gathering and displaying information in data intensive environments. It is particularly concerned with data analysis in a critical care environment to provide a graphical display of derived information, comprising a series of bar charts representative of a corresponding series of functions. Each bar chart comprises a linear series of time-divided segments wherein each segment of each bar chart is assigned a colour corresponding to the status of that function. The status of each function is derived by scoring contributory data indicators in accordance with pre-set threshold values, and logically combining to produce a status score for each function. Interventions that affect particular functions may also be recorded and displayed against those functions so that their effect is readily discernible.
