Abstract
Certain exemplary embodiments provide a system for accessing patient medical information in a network. The network comprises a plurality of servers. Certain exemplary embodiments of the network further comprise a repository including patient identifiers and associated server identifiers for use in identifying one or more servers that store medical information associated with a particular patient. To respond to a received command or request to display a particular patient'"'"'s medical information, certain exemplary embodiments of the network comprise a search processor for initiating a search of the repository to locate a particular server identifier associated with an identifier of a particular patient. To respond to a user command, certain exemplary embodiments of the network comprise an interface processor for generating a uniform resource locator (URL) address incorporating a located particular server identifier in a data field and for initiating a request to access stored medical information of a particular patient at a generated URL address hosted by a server.
