Claims55
A method of operating an enterprise healthcare management system for a first healthcare enterprise facility and a second healthcare enterprise facility independent of the first healthcare enterprise facility, comprising:
- establishing a first secure communication channel via a public network between an application server and a first end user device in the first enterprise facility and establishing a second secure communication channel via the public network between the application server and a second end user device in the second enterprise facility, the application server remotely hosting a healthcare application and having a database;
- receiving first healthcare data from the first end user and second healthcare data from the second end user;
- processing the first healthcare data and the second healthcare data with the healthcare application;
- storing the processed first healthcare data in a first portion of the database associated with the first healthcare enterprise facility and storing the processed second healthcare data in a second portion of the database associated with the second healthcare enterprise facility;
- configuring the database to accept legacy information derived from a legacy application operating at each of the first and second healthcare enterprise facilities, wherein the functions in the healthcare application are not duplicative of the legacy application;
- and
- generating a query to extract information from the database relevant to a respective one of the first and second healthcare enterprise facilities derived from the healthcare data and the legacy information for managing and tracking a performance of the respective one of the first and second healthcare enterprise facilities,
- wherein healthcare data in the first portion of the database is only accessible to the first end user device and healthcare data in the second portion of the database is only accessible to the second end user device.

A healthcare management system for a first healthcare enterprise facility and a second healthcare enterprise facility independent of the first healthcare enterprise facility, comprising:
- an application server and a database, the application server remotely hosting one or more healthcare applications;
- an application server and a database, the application server remotely hosting one or more healthcare applications;
- an access point to a network at which the application server and link to a public network;
- means for initiating secure communication between the application server and a first end user device at the first enterprise facility and for initiating secure communication between the application server and a second end user device at the second enterprise facility;
- means for receiving healthcare data from the first and second end user devices at the one of the healthcare applications;
- means for processing the received healthcare data;
- and
- means for storing the processed healthcare data from the first end user device in a first portion of the database associated with the first enterprise facility and for storing the processed healthcare data from the second end user device in a second portion of the database associated with the second enterprise facility,
- means for configuring the database to accept legacy information derived from a legacy application operating at each of the first and second healthcare enterprise facilities, wherein the functions in the healthcare application are not duplicative of the legacy application;
- and
- means for generating a query to extract information from the database relevant to a respective one of the first and second healthcare enterprise facilities derived from the healthcare data and the legacy information for managing and tracking a performance of the respective one of the first and second healthcare enterprise facilities,
- wherein healthcare data in the first portion of the database is only accessible to the first end, user device and healthcare data in the second portion of the database is only accessible to the second end user device.
