Dynamic Screen Updates

Is there any way we can implement dynamic screen updating as opposed to the current.  
I am referring the the Scheduled views and worklists.

Currently OPEN users have to hit find to cause an update and see which patients are waiting , billed etc.

Can we not use the xmlhttprequest (even a long type) to ask the server ...1. is there a update to the existing data if so... then do 2. please refresh the item and 3. tell the browser to update. 

We currently are polling every second or so and I am not sure what exactly this is acheiving bar keeping the server and client in sync.

Its certainly doable. The only issue is that it keeps the browser sessions alive on the server so there needs to be a custom facility to expire them.

I've started up a project here.
