First Claim
1. A medical information system for maintaining electronic patient medical information for use in a physician computer and a portable patient device, the physician computer comprising:
- a computer readable medium including one electronic patient data structure consisting of patient identification information, patient biographical information, medical history information including medical event information, medication schedule information, appointment schedule information, and log information;
at least one communication port capable of transmitting the patient data structure to the portable patient device and receiving the patient data structure from the portable patient device;
displaying, in the display of the portable computing device, a main menu of selectable views, wherein the selectable views consist of a patient bio view, a medical history view, a patient medication schedule view, an appointment schedule view, and a log view, and wherein the appointment schedule view displayed in the display of the portable computing device differs from the appointment schedule view that is displayable on a display at the physician computer, and wherein direct selection of one of the selectable views results in that selected view being displayed independently of the other selectable views; and
means for modifying information in the patient data structure via at least one of the patient bio view, the medical history view, the patient medication schedule view, and the appointment schedule view, wherein the modified patient data structure is capable of being transmitted to the portable patient device via the communication port.
