The view chart format may be used by healthcare professionals to enter data. The graphical images include an order node, result node and flow node. The various nodes may be connected to form a healthcare plan assigned to a patient. Costs may be assigned to each order and various costs of various treatments may be determined. Patient plans may be transferred or modified by other healthcare professionals.
