Workspace module 216 is configured to generate workspaces for device 202 that may include, but is not limited to, segmented controls, toolbars, interfaces, dialog, fly-out or pop-up boxes, and other formatting related to a medical application being executed on device 202. The workspace module 216 may be configured to receive manual inputs and also receive automatically generated workspace data including data received from the third party information display module 214, which is configured to receive third party notifications and other information and display alerts in the workspace. In some illustrative embodiments, third party information display module 214 and workspace module 216 may be incorporated into memory/data storage 206 with or without a secure memory area, or may be a dedicated component, or incorporated into the processor 210. Of course, processing device 202 may include other or additional components, such as those commonly found in a digital apparatus and/or computer (e.g., sensors, various input/output devices), in other embodiments. Additionally, in some embodiments, one or more of the illustrative components may be incorporated in, or otherwise form a portion of, another component. For example, the memory/data storage 206, or portions thereof, may be incorporated in the processor 210 in some embodiments.
