COLLABORATIVE HEALTHCARE
First Claim
1. A system for managing health information, comprising a processor and a memory in communication with the processor, the memory storing programming instructions executable by the processor to:
- maintain an index of patients;
manage a first database of health information about the patients in a first data format;
enable read-write access to a separate database of health information about at least one of the patients, where the separate database is in a second data format, by implementing a bidirectional mapping between the first data format and the second data format; and
as a function of business rules, health information from the first database, and health information in the separate database, automatically creating a secure electronic message accessible only to a specific authenticated user of the system.

Abstract
A specialty programmed computing system provides a platform for collaboratively providing and consuming healthcare products and services. Modules of the platform and third-party modules (accessing through an API) process and display patient EHR, practice management information, relationship (social network) information, and organizational structure information that is stored within the system and/or in data repositories of member entities in state/regional/national health information exchanges. The patent and/or provider portal is branded for the sponsoring organization, and communication tools and resources are made available to a given user based on their role, affiliation(s), and relationships.

4. The system of claim 0, wherein the automatically created message is triggered by command of a different authenticated user of the system.
-
5. The system of claim 0, wherein:
-
the authenticated user is a patient; and the content of the automatically created message is post-consultation follow-up instructions for the user.

6. A system for managing health information, comprising a processor and a memory, the memory being encoded with programming instructions executable by the processor to display a user interface that:
-
authenticates a user; once a user is authenticated, accepts input from the user; and interprets the input to control access across computing systems of multiple providers, which includes controlling the flow of data to or from the providers'"'"' systems; wherein the providers'"'"' systems do not natively exchange data with each other. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. A system for managing health information, comprising a processor and a memory in communication with the processor, the memory storing programming instructions executable by the processor to:
-
maintain a database of patient health data and patient-provider relationships; provide a computing facility for a third party to implement an extension to the systems, wherein the extension accesses the patient health data and patient-provider relationship data; wherein the access provided to the extension is limited as a function of patient permission data in the database. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
