First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for maintaining and communicating patient health information comprising the steps of:
- receiving data representing patient health information from a network device via a network;
creating a patient record comprising said data and storing said patient record in a database;
associating a plurality of access privileges with said patient record, each of the access privileges specifying a different type or amount of the data of the patient record that can be viewed, updated and revised; and

Abstract
A patient record is created from data received from a network device and is stored in a database. The data represents patient information and possibly other personal data. A plurality of access privileges may be associated with the patient record, each of which may specify a different type or amount of the data of the patient record that can be viewed, updated and revised. A selected portion of the patient record may be designated as emergency information that would be helpful to a caregiver during a medical emergency. An emergency reference code can be associated with the emergency information. In response to receiving the emergency reference code from a user device via the network, the emergency information may be displayed. An interface is also provided for allowing a user having appropriate access privileges to create and print a customized card comprising portions of the patient record selected by the user.
