  • Electronic medical record using text database
    Patent number: 5832450
    Abstract: An electronic medical record system stores data about patient encounters arising from a content generator in free-form text. A header for each encounter record also uses text to store context information for each encounter record. Each header comprises a plurality of attributes embodied as a field descriptor and a value, bound together as a text object. By binding the field descriptors to the values, each encounter record is complete in itself, without reference to database keys, thereby providing a self-validating record storage system.
