Abstract: Systems and methods are provided though which a transaction, e.g., in a multi-tier, distributed application may be initiated from a portable or hand-held device, such as a smartphone. A computer system or systems, possibly remote from the device, may approve the transaction, complete it, or both, and the remote computer system or systems may cause a document to be printed, e.g., by a printer physically proximate to the device. Aspects of the invention are illustrated by embodiments in which a drug prescription may be created electronically using a hand-held device. In such an embodiment, the prescription may be transmitted to one or more remote computer systems, such as an application server, for processing. If specified, the remote computer systems may cause a prescription to be printed, e.g., at a printer near the prescriber's location. The prescriber may sign the printed prescription and give it to a patient or pharmacy.

Abstract: The invention relates to sharing patient care information through electronic messaging. Systems for managing electronic health records may comprise extensive patient information, e.g., names, addresses, insurance coverage and/or other financial arrangements, health conditions, allergies, procedures undergone, and/or tests performed. The invention involves transfer of such information between users. Embodiments of the invention may pass such information by adding to electronic messages pointers that uniquely refer to one or more patient records. Some embodiments may thereby send health information electronically while preserving metadata and/or other meaning associated with the data.
