1. A system for displaying one or more types of risk associated with a patient in a care facility, the system comprising:
a computer,
one or more sources of patient data that collect data inputs for the computer to calculate in substantially real time at least one of a first score relating to an early warning score, a second score relating to a risk of the patient developing sepsis, and a third score relating to a risk of the patient falling, and
a display coupled to the computer that generates a screen having:
a first window having a scoring section that includes the first score calculated by the computer, and one or more vital signs that contribute to the calculation of the first score, wherein the first window further includes, in the scoring section, an arrow icon to indicate whether the first score has increased or decreased from a prior reading, with the arrow being upward to indicate an increase from the prior reading and the arrow being downward to indicate a decrease from the prior reading;
a second window indicating the risk of the patient developing sepsis based on the second score from the computer, wherein selection of the second window causes generation of a sepsis risk screen that includes a display of the second score, a first subset of the data inputs used to calculate the second score, and a first action block including a message to perform one or more actions based on a severity of the second score;
a third window indicating the risk of the patient falling based on the third score calculated by the computer, wherein selection of the third window causes generation of a falling risk screen that includes a display of the third score and a second subset of the data inputs used to calculate the third score, and a second action block including a message to perform one or more actions based on a severity of the third score;
wherein the computer determines a time threshold for the data inputs based on the early warning score, compares a time stamp of each of the data inputs to the time threshold, and when the time stamp for a given data input exceeds the time threshold, the computer alters a display of the given data input on the screen.
