Abstract
Disclosed is a method, system, program, and data structure for maintaining electronic patient medical information. An electronic patient data structure is generated to include patient biographical information and one of medical history information, medication schedule information, and appointment schedule information. The patient data structure is electronically transmitted between a physician computer and a portable patient device. The patient data structure is capable of being modified.
Claims36
A method for maintaining electronic patient medical information, comprising:
- generating an electronic patient data structure including patient biographical information and one of medical history information, medication schedule information, and appointment schedule information;
- and
- electronically transmitting the patient data structure between a physician computer and a portable patient device, wherein the patient data structure is capable of being modified.
A medical information system for maintaining electronic patient medical information for use in a physician computer and a portable patient device, the physician computer comprising:
- a computer readable medium including an electronic patient data structure including patient biographical information and one of medical history information, medication schedule information, and appointment schedule information;
- and
- at least one communication port capable of transmitting the patient data structure to the portable patient device and receiving the patient data structure from the portable patient device;
- and
- means for modifying information in the patient data structure, wherein the modified patient data structure is capable of being transmitted to the portable patient device via the communication port.
A medical information system for maintaining electronic patient medical information for use in a physician computer and a portable patient device, wherein the patient device includes:
- computer readable medium including an electronic patient data structure including patient biographical information and one of medical history information, medication schedule information, and appointment schedule information;
- and
- at least one communication port capable for transmitting the patient data structure to the physician computer and receiving the patient data structure from the physician computer, wherein the patient data structure is capable of being modified.
An article of manufacture for use in a medical information system to maintain electronic patient medical information for use in a physician computer and a portable patient device, the article of manufacture comprising at least one computer program capable of causing the physician computer to perform:
- reading an electronic patient data structure including patient biographical information and one of medical history information, medication schedule information, and appointment schedule information;
- and
- transmitting the patient data structure to the portable patient device;
- receiving the patient data structure from the portable patient device;
- and
- modifying information in the patient data structure, wherein the modified patient data structure is capable of being transmitted to the portable patient device via the communication port.
An article of manufacture for use in a medical information system to maintain electronic patient medical information for use in a physician computer and a portable patient device, the article of manufacture comprising at least one computer program capable of causing the portable patient device to perform:
- storing an electronic patient data structure including patient biographical information and one of medical history information, medication schedule information, and appointment schedule information;
- and
- transmitting the patient data structure to the physician computer;
- receiving the patient data structure from the physician computer, wherein the patient data structure is capable of being modified.
