Abstract
A query protocol that retrieves all pertinent information from the electronic medical record based on the patient'"'"'s current diagnosis, complaint or symptom. The query of the electronic medical record will include but not be limited to all relevant prior visits/hospitalizations (including all information contained therein ie. vital signs, review of systems, physical exam findings) surgeries, procedures, radiology studies, laboratory tests, medications and allergies. The relevant information will be organized so that it is easily interpreted for viewing or printing. A list of medical abbreviations was also developed, which may be used in conjunction with the query protocol, so as to minimize storage space needed in the organization of the data.
