This paper presents the Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS), that provides a single interface for health care providers to review and update a patients medical record, and to place orders, including medications, special procedures, x-rays, patient care nursing orders, diets, and laboratory tests. CPRS is flexible enough to be implemented in a wide variety of settings for a broad spectrum of health care
workers, and provides a consistent, event-driven, Windows-style interface.
