Abstract: This invention relates to systems and methods for managing electronic healthcare information on a highly scalable and customizable software and hardware architecture which emphasizes portable devices and minimal downtime during upgrades and scaling. This invention further relates to systems and methods for efficient access and customization of forms for electronically generating and managing patient information. In one aspect of the invention, an electronic health record system (EHR) of the present invention, which may also be referred to as an electronic medical record system (EMR), may be deployed and run on a plurality of servers over which the computing and/or storage load may be distributed in a non-centralized manner such that the overall system may remain up and operating even while being scaled, upgraded and/or otherwise modified.
