Abstract: A computer-implemented system for scheduling patient appointments including a patient interface terminal configured to receive a patient identifier and to display a patient-specific listing of reasons for a medical appointment. The system further includes a computer system adapted for receiving the patient identifier, generating the patient-specific listing of reasons for a medical appointment based on an electronic medical record associated with the patient identifier and a comprehensive listing of reasons stored in a reasons database, receiving a selected reason for a requested medical appointment from the patient interface terminal, and generating and providing one or more specialized appointment scheduling options based on a combination of the selected reason and data from the electronic medical record associated with the patient identifier, the specialized appointment scheduling options including scheduling options for specialized medical resources specifically associated with the combination.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for making information associated with a patient at a medical facility available, the method comprising the steps of providing a processor, a database and at least a first interface device, the processor linked to each of the interface device and the database via a network and during an admit period that occurs between admission of a first patient to and discharge of the first patient from the facility, allowing at least one of the first patient and a proxy for the first patient to access at least a subset of admit period information associated with the first patient that reflects activities related to the first patient that occur during the admit period where the admit period information includes official facility generated information.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for use with a computer network system including a server, a database and a plurality of interfaces wherein client medical information is stored in separate client accounts for each of a plurality of clients including at least a first client, the interface for accessing client account information, the method for authorizing a second client to access at least a portion of the first client's account information via one of the interfaces, the method comprising the steps of, via one of the interfaces, accessing the first client's account and authorizing the second client to obtain at least a specific subset of the first client's account information and storing an indication in the database indicating that the second client is authorized to access the specific subset of the first client's account information.

Abstract: A programmable rules-based interface between a patient and an electronic medical record EMR allows controlled patient access to the EMR allowing increased patient participation in the healthcare process. The interface allows the patient to directly schedule appointments for procedures, while filtering requests from patients who are not eligible for a given treatment, thereby limiting waste in resources.
