Graphical user interface in a medical protocol system having time delay rules and a publisher's view
 A computer system is programmed to display a set of order triplet icons which are linked together to represent a medical treatment plan. Each of the order triplet icons represent a step within the medical treatment plan. Each link between two order triplet icons, such as a first order triplet icon and a second order triplet icon, represents a sequence between two steps within the medical treatment plan. Each sequence, as represented by a link, includes a rule which may be configured to have a time delay. When configured to have a time delay, the second order triplet icon is activated upon expiration of the time delay, forming a sequence from the first order triplet icon to the second order triplet icon. The computer system may also be programmed to display a medical treatment plan in process flow form, referred to as a publisher's view. The process flow shows the contents of a set of order triplet icons which may include at least one healthcare activity and at least one rule, and the relationship between the icons in the medical protocol.
