Abstract:

Graphic displays of data from clinical observations and laboratory testing provide important support to the health practitioner in managing an increasing amount of complex information. A graphic display program is described that preserves much of the context of data that is important to their evaluation, and that maintains a sense of the strength of the signal when aberrant data are encountered.
