Abstract: A method of implementing a decentralized user-extensible system for storing and managing unified medical files resolves fragmentation of medical records, avoids the creation of uncontrolled centralized healthcare data repositories, and empowers patients to control and manage the read-write access to their clinical information. Furthermore, the method creates an open, user-extensible, and shared data model at the level of user interface by implementing unified medical file (UMF) web controls that have several user interfaces specifying attributes and can at the same time reference international code sets. The particular difference of the method from all others is that the common data model is implemented at the user interface level, and that semantic unity is achieved at the front end initially and at the back-end naturally afterwards.

Abstract: In a method of operating a software engine for storing, organizing and reporting data in an organizational environment through user created templates and data items, users can build highly customizable templates for data and web forms for data entry, with many different specifiable attributes. Related data is linked and can be queried for retrieval. Users can design, create, add, and use unlimited number of forms, reports, business processes, and queries without any additional programming. Metadata objects (mobjects) and data items (ditems) are created by an administrator. Mobject templates are form templates that are rendered into web forms by a render module, and ditem templates are inputs and controls on the web forms. The schema of the production database remains unchanged regardless of user interaction with the system, thus providing a highly customizable data storage and organization system for any business environment.

Abstract: The current invention is a data capture, storage, and retrieval software system that is a Window's based system sitting on top of the operating system to handle data generated during business domain transactions. The current invention can be tailored to meet the business rules of certain domains by designing its templates on a customized basis.

Abstract: The current invention is a system, method and program product that defines a platform composed of two basic software modules that capture, store, and retrieve data in any business domain regardless of the nature of the business itself or its transactional rules. The platform achieves its objective by concentrating on data values themselves and their own meta data rather than on any other information—such as business rules—that is related to these data values. The first module is a Template Manager that creates data item group templates and their component data items and the second module is a Template Manager Client.
