Abstract

A computer-based system and method is provided for remotely accessing stored record and remotely inputting data, comprising: accessing by a user a record stored remotely in a database via an electronic network; displaying a portion of the accessed record as at least one hypertext page, the hypertext page comprising pre-filled text, at least one selectable hyperlinked object, and a box for receiving information input by the user, wherein the information input by the user is by a combination of voice dictation and one of pointing, clicking, or typing; and sending the information input by the user over the electronic network to be stored as part of the record in the database. The electronic network is one of a local area network and the internet.

Claims

1. A computer-based method for remotely accessing stored record and remotely inputting data, comprising:

accessing by a user a record stored remotely in a database via an electronic network;

displaying a portion of the accessed record as at least one hypertext page, the hypertext page comprising pre-filled text, at least one selectable hyperlinked object, and a box for receiving information input by the user, wherein the information input by the user is by a combination of voice dictation and one of pointing, clicking, or typing; and

sending the information input by the user over the electronic network to be stored as part of the record in the database.

2. The computer-based method of claim 1, wherein the electronic network is one of a local area network and the internet.

3. The computer-based method of claim 1, further including authenticating a user as a registered subscriber before access to the database is granted.

4. The computer-based method of claim 3, wherein said authenticating is by speaker identification.

5. The computer-based method of claim 1, wherein the pre-filled text is preinstalled templates of a form.

6. The computer-based method of claim 1, wherein selection of the at least one hyperlinked object links the user to a media player for playing or recording a media file including at least one of voice and video.

7. The computer-based method of claim 1, wherein selection of the at least one hyperlinked object links the user to an object having persistent data previously input by a user.

8. The computer-based method of claim 1, wherein the information input by voice dictation is stored as a media file.

9. The computer-based method of claim 8, wherein the media file is accessible by a transcriber subscriber over the electronic network, and the media file is audibly presented to the transcriber subscriber.

10. The computer-based method of claim 1, wherein the database comprises patient medical records, each patient record comprises demographic patient information and clinical patient information.

11. The computer-based method of claim 10, wherein the demographic patient information indexed to a specific patient is input by a first user and the clinical patient information indexed to the specific patient is input by a second user.

12. The computer-based method of claim 10, wherein the clinical patient information comprises segmented portions, each segmented portion corresponding to a section or a subsection, and each segmented portion is separately retrievable from the record independent of other segmented portions.

13. The computer-based method of claim 10, wherein the clinical patient information comprises segmented portions, each segmented portion is input by a different user.

14. The computer-based method of claim 11, wherein the demographic patient information and the clinical patient information indexed to a specific patient are stored in separate files.

15. The computer-based method of claim 1, wherein the step of displaying the hypertext page includes displaying media files including video.

16. A computer-based method for accessing stored records and receiving inputs to the records remotely from a user, comprising:

receiving a request from a user via an electronic network to access a record stored in a database;

retrieving the record and forwarding at least a portion of the record for display by the user as at least one hypertext page, the hypertext page comprising pre-filled text, at least one selectable hyperlinked object, and a box for receiving information to be input by the user, wherein the information input by the user is by a combination of voice dictation and one of pointing, clicking, or typing; and

receiving the information input by the user over the electronic network and storing the information input by the user as part of the record in the database.

17. The computer-based method of claim 16, wherein the electronic network is one of a local area network and the internet.

18. The computer-based method of claim 16, further including authenticating a user as a registered subscriber before access to the database is granted.

19. The computer-based method of claim 18, wherein said authenticating is by speaker identification.

20. The computer-based method of claim 16, wherein the pre-filled text is preinstalled templates of a form.

21. The computer-based method of claim 16, wherein upon receipt of a selection of the at least one hyperlinked object, a media player is presented to the user for playing or recording a media file including at least one of voice and video.

22. The computer-based method of claim 16, wherein upon receipt of a selection of the at least one hyperlinked object, the user is presented with an object having persistent data previously input by a user.

23. The computer-based method of claim 16, wherein the information input by voice dictation is stored as a media file.

24. The computer-based method of claim 23, wherein the media file is accessible by a transcriber subscriber over the electronic network, and the media file is audibly presented to the transcriber subscriber.

25. The computer-based method of claim 16, wherein the database comprises patient medical records, each patient record comprises demographic patient information and clinical patient information.

26. The computer-based method of claim 25, wherein the demographic patient information indexed to a specific patient is input by a first user and the clinical patient information indexed to the specific patient is input by a second user.

27. The computer-based method of claim 25, wherein the clinical patient information comprises segmented portions, each segmented portion corresponding to a section or a subsection, and each segmented portion is separately retrievable from the record independent of other segmented portions.

28. The computer-based method of claim 25, wherein the clinical patient information comprises segmented portions, each segmented portion is presented to a different user for input.

29. The computer-based method of claim 25, wherein the demographic patient information and the clinical patient information indexed to a specific patient are stored in segregated portions of the record.

30. The computer-based method of claim 16, wherein the step of presenting the hypertext page includes presenting media files including video for playing or recording by the user.

31. A computer-based system for retrieving records and inputting data to the records, comprising:

a server having a controller and a memory, the memory for storing a database of records and for storing executable codes, the executable codes are executed by the controller for performing method steps, the method steps including;

receiving a request from a user via an electronic network to access a record stored in the database;

retrieving the record and forwarding at least a portion of the record for display by the user as at least one hypertext page, the hypertext page comprising pre-filled text, at least one selectable hyperlinked object, and a box for receiving information to be input by the user, wherein the information input by the user is by a combination of voice dictation and one of pointing, clicking, or typing; and

receiving the information input by the user over the electronic network and storing the information input by the user as part of the record in the database.
