Abstract

Methods for use in, e.g., in-patient care computing environment, for user-centric (e.g., in-patient-centric) selection of at least one menu item are provided. A method in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention may include receiving a plurality of menu item identifiers, each menu item identifier being associated with a different menu item, associating the menu item identifiers with an electronic record associated with an in-patient, displaying the menu item identifiers on at least one patient-viewable display device, and receiving a user selection of at least one of the menu item identifiers. If desired, the method may additionally include filtering the menu item identifiers based on at least one criterion derived from the electronic record to create a set of filtered menu item identifiers and displaying the set of filtered menu item identifiers on the patient-viewable display device rather than the plurality of menu item identifier.
