Abstract
Technologies relating to collaborative healthcare information collection are disclosed. A User Interface (UI) provided herein may provide selectable controls for accessing a Patient Information Collection Tool (PICT), an Interactive Patient Education Database (IPED), and/or a Clinic-Oriented Patient Information Collection Tool (COPICT). A PICT may assist in identifying patient goals for healthcare interactions. An IPED may provide interactive articles educating patients about healthcare terminology and materials for systematically helping patients to prepare for healthcare visits by addressing common questions and discussion points. A COPICT may collect patient data for use in tracking clinic patient data and identifying clinic goals for healthcare interactions.
