  • Publication number: 20070294109
    Abstract: A method and system for single form creation of a patient visit medical record via the Internet that integrates with the financial system of the healthcare provider. A patient record generally has medical data and financial data. This system improves processing medical data, patient care, and financial information. First, the system provides a digital visit form, hosted on a server, and completed at the user's location. Second, the digital form contains lists, boxes, and buttons for data entry and work flow. Third, the system joins the diagnosis and the plan of the medical record including codes for the visit CPT, the diagnosis, procedure, and labs, prescription, pharmacy, referred provider, notes-and next appointment. This medical data then feeds into billing. Fourth, upon selecting the SAVE button, the system sends the medical and financial data to the server that updates the medical record, initiates medical and financial processes, and updates queue.

  • Publication number: 20020022972
    Abstract: A method and system for single form and single click creation of a patient visit medical record via the Internet (Online Medical Record—OMR) this is simultaneously integrated with the financial requirements of the healthcare provider. There are two components to a patient visit: 1) the medical data needed to care for the patient, and 2) the financial data required to pay for the services. The system of this invention provides for better work flow in processing both medical data, patient care, and financial coverage. The first step includes a single page creation of the OMR visit form. The OMR is hosted on a server, presented over the Internet as a single scrollable HTML page, and filled in at the user's location. The second procedure is that the foregoing page contains in juxtaposition and for use drop down lists (DDLs), List Boxes (LBs), Text Entry Boxes, Profile function buttons, and search function buttons built into the page at the point of need to facilitate data entry and work flow.
