Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing medical information that includes the steps of: providing a central database of information having disparate data fields containing data, and performing an action based upon the data in the disparate data fields. The method includes of sorting, providing warnings or reminders, searching, organizing, transmitting, and presenting data from the database. The medical information management system includes a central database resident on a computing system. The central database has multiple disparate data fields containing data pertaining to patient-related information. A user interface communicates with the central database for accepting user input and transmitting system output. A visual display also communicates with the user interface to display the disparate data fields in selected or selectable formats. The system can include a report generating module, a device interface, and a compliance calculation module, all of which are in communication with the central database.

11. A computer-implemented method for managing medical information, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a database of information for a plurality of patients, wherein a plurality of disparate data fields containing data are provided for each patient in the database;
selecting at least one of the plurality of disparate data fields;
providing a data field threshold value for the selected data field;
comparing the selected data field data with the data field threshold value; and
presenting a signal to a user responsive to the selected data field data reaching the data field threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
