Abstract
A method and system for electronically maintaining medical records and to facilitate availability and use of information relating to patients, as well as other information used in the operation of a medical facility. The system stores information such as patient charts, medical histories of patients, insurance information, including documentation requirements of insurance companies, timelines for calendaring events, and dictionaries of commonly or repetitively used information. The system additionally provides medical practitioners with a convenient interface through which practitioners can incorporate patient data into medical algorithms, allowing the rapid assessment of a patient'"'"'s disease state or risk of disease state at the point of care.

9. A method of assessing a patient'"'"'s risk of a disease state, the method comprising:
-
collecting and storing individual patient medical diagnostic information on a computer;
collecting and storing a medical algorithm that operates on said medical diagnostic information to generate a disease risk assessment;
applying said algorithm to said diagnostic information to generate a risk assessment value; and
generating a report to communicate said risk assessment value. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
