Layout and Navigation

Layout and navigation are visual aspects of the web app and iFrame; they do not apply to the API.

The Patient Chart provides a consistent interface for navigating and reviewing patient data across clinical categories and record types. The layout is designed to support efficient record review, with persistent navigation and section-based organization.

Layout

The Patient Chart includes three primary interface elements:

  • Top bar: Displays patient context, including name, date of birth, age, and gender. This information remains visible to maintain orientation while navigating the chart.
  • Sidebar: Lists available chart sections grouped by clinical category. The sidebar remains visible during navigation and supports expansion or collapse of section groups.
  • Main content area: Displays the selected chart section. Content is presented in either a table or card layout depending on the data type.

Navigation Model

Navigation is organized by chart section.

  • Each section represents a specific data type, such as medications, documents, or labs
  • Sections are accessed through the sidebar and load dynamically when selected
  • The sidebar remains persistent, allowing users to move between sections without losing context

The Patient Chart opens to the Patient Summary by default, providing a high-level view of recent clinical activity and entry points into detailed sections.

Interaction Model

Interaction patterns vary by section based on the underlying data type.

  • Table-based sections: Display structured data with sortable columns and search capability
  • Card-based sections: Display documents, messages, or events with metadata and preview options

Across all sections:

  • Users can navigate between records and sections without triggering new upstream data retrieval
  • Actions such as preview, download, and print are available where supported
  • Section behavior, available filters, and actions may vary depending on content type

The interface is designed to present both structured and unstructured data in a consistent, section-based format while supporting efficient navigation and review.
