Abstract

A healthcare information storage system for the capture, storage, and retrieval of healthcare information, including a data input device including an audio input apparatus and video input apparatus for receiving audio and video information captured by the audio input apparatus and video input apparatus, and a data transmitting device for outputting the audio and video information captured by the audio input apparatus and video input apparatus through a first communications link. A data storage device stores the audio and video information received through the first communications link, and at least one data access device receives the audio and video information through a second communications link from the data storage device.

Claims

1. A healthcare information storage system for the capture, storage, and retrieval of healthcare information, the system comprising:

(a) a data input device including an audio input apparatus and video input apparatus for receiving audio and video information captured by the audio input apparatus and video input apparatus;

(b) a data transmitting device for outputting the audio and video information captured by the audio input apparatus and video input apparatus through a first communications link;

(c) a data storage device for storing the audio and video information received through the first communications link; and

(d) at least one data access device for receiving the audio and video information through a second communications link from the data storage device.

2. A healthcare information storage system according to claim 1, wherein the data input device is a computer and telephone.

3. A healthcare information storage system according to claim 1, wherein the data access device is a computer and telephone.

4. A healthcare information storage system according to claim 1, wherein a translation server is interfaced to a third communications link for receiving audio information and translating the audio information into another language.

5. A healthcare information storage system according to claim 1, wherein the information captured and transmitted is a two-way communication and informed consent by a patient to a healthcare professional.

6. A healthcare information storage system according to claim 1, wherein an access control means prevents unauthorized access to the healthcare information.

7. A healthcare information storage system according to claim 1, wherein the information stored is at least one legal document and video information from a patient concerning the legal document.

8. A healthcare information storage system according to claim 1, wherein the information stored is at least one educational video for aiding the healthcare professional.

9. A healthcare information storage system according to claim 1, wherein the information stored is a video of a patient before the onset of a debilitating disease.

10. A healthcare information storage system according to claim 1, wherein the information is accessible by a family member of the patient for reviewing information conveyed during a two-way conversation with a healthcare provider.

11. A healthcare information storage system for the capture, storage, and retrieval of healthcare information, the system comprising:

(a) a data input device including an audio input apparatus and video input apparatus for receiving audio and video healthcare information captured by the audio input apparatus and video input apparatus;

(b) a data transmitting device for outputting the audio and video information captured by the audio input apparatus and video input apparatus through a first communications link;

(c) a data storage device for storing the audio and video information received through the first communications link;

(d) a translation device for translating the audio information received by the data storage device into a commonly used language;

(e) at least one data access device adapted for receiving the audio and video information through a second communications link from the data storage device by way of a data access device; and

(f) an access control means for preventing an unauthorized individual from accessing the healthcare information through the data access device.

12. A healthcare information storage system according to claim 11, wherein the data input device is a computer and telephone.

13. A healthcare information storage system according to claim 11, wherein the data access device is a computer and telephone.

14. A healthcare information storage system according to claim 11, wherein the information captured and transmitted is a two-way communication and informed consent by a patient to a healthcare professional.

15. A healthcare information storage system according to claim 11, wherein the information stored is at least one legal document and video information from a patient concerning the legal document.

16. A healthcare information storage system according to claim 11, wherein the information stored is at least one educational video for aiding the healthcare professional.

17. A healthcare information storage system according to claim 11, wherein the information stored is a video of a patient before the onset of a debilitating disease.

18. A method for the capture, storage, and retrieval of healthcare information, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) providing a data input device, a data transmitting device, a data storage device, and at least one data access device;

(b) receiving audio and video healthcare information captured by an audio input apparatus and video input apparatus into the data input device;

(c) transmitting the audio and video healthcare information by the data transmitting device through a first communications link;

(d) storing the audio and video healthcare information in the data storage device; and

(e) receiving the audio and video information from the at least one data access device through a second communications link from the data storage device.

19. A method according to claim 18, wherein the step of entering healthcare information comprises the step of capturing a two-way communication and informed consent of a patient to a healthcare professional.

20. A method according to claim 18, wherein the step of receiving audio and video information comprises the step of gaining access to the healthcare information by using an access control means allowing only predetermined individuals access to the health information.
