Abstract
A computerized method and system for determining and storing a time zone for healthcare information for a patient is provided. The system receives healthcare information for a patient and obtains a time zone rule that applies to the healthcare information. The system utilizes the time zone rule to determine a time zone associated with the healthcare information and stores the time zone associated with the healthcare information. A computerized method and system for displaying the time zone for patient healthcare information is also provided. The system receives a request for healthcare information for a patient. The system obtains the healthcare information and obtains the time zone stored for the healthcare information. The system then displays the date and time for the healthcare information in the stored time zone.
