Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 But why not? Tufte is really the master of information display. I'd love a dashboard like this that would be flexible in display - i.e. different issues could rise to the front, others could fall to the background based on predictable parameters. Tufte takes the whole idea of " charting " to a new level with this display.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Gordon, when I first saw this dashboard a couple of years ago, I thought it was very exciting and wondered if I could ever get something similar for my own use. But when I sat down and thought about an implementation, I realized that I was only really interested in the first time zone ( the one year before admission ), whereas that time zone existed only as a backdrop to the acute data ( the second and third time zones ) which was the primary interest for those looking at acute care. Also, having these extra time zones would make the programming quite complex for someone like myself who hadn't done any math since high school. Additionally I wanted to be able to look at the actual data, and I wanted a longer time period than one year. I then came across another widget that Tufte had created which seemed much more appropriate for chronic care, and I created a hybrid from that. When I get a chance, I'll post a video. > > > > > > > But why not? Tufte is really the master of information display.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I ran out of time to create the video .. perhaps another less busy day. In the meantime, if you're interested to see my solution, see http://synapsedirect.com/forums/thread/3020.aspx Basically I have a tab that contains 36 sparklines ( another invention from Prof Tufte ) that shows in a word sized graph all the results for a particular parameter. Each patient can track different results in each graph. The gray bar that is shown inside the graph represents the normal range .... Clicking on a graph brings up a larger version of the same with the actual data visible in another table. I find it very useful to get a birds eye view of all the measurable parameters on my chronic care patients > > > > > You could use a display like this for Lou's medical record mind mapping idea > though the graphs scare me a little > I wonder if you would implode from too much right and left brain fusion all > on the same page. > Lynn > > > ________________________________ > To: gmoore@...; > From: jantonucci@... > Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2008 12:09:03 -0500 > Subject: RE: Dashboards > > > > > I agree i looked at this late last night and thoguht it was way cool > > Re: Dashboards > > But why not?
