Abstract

This invention discloses a method of editing, accessing, creating, and retrieving database information in a medical services business wirelessly. The wireless device could be a PDA, laptop, a computer, or any telephony device. The database information extends from pre-admission, to treatment, to post-admission, hospitalization, and post-hospitalization data. It also covers EMS operations and interactions with hospitals. It covers patient and physician history and laboratory diagnosis. It describe method of wirelessly generating healthcare provider notes and the authentication of such notes. The information transmittal is secured by an elaborate authenticating scheme disclosed here. The disclosure covers all fields and activities of current medical care now transformed from wired or paper to wireless by various devices.
