Abstract

Methods and systems for managing patient medical information are provided in order to make it more convenient for patient information to be managed both electronically and using traditional physical files. The methods and systems comprise: storing patient medical information in an electronic patient record; generating at least one adhesive medical summary corresponding to the patient medical information; and, affixing the adhesive medical summary to a physical patient record. An electronic patient record may be stored in a database and may comprise general patient identifier information, patient assessment or medical examination information, patient prescription information, and/or immunization information. The methods and systems may also comprise billing information that may be used to generate billing summaries. Medical condition templates comprising default medical assessment information as typically determined for a specific medical condition may be used to facilitate the entry of patient medical information.

Claims

1. A method for managing patient information comprising:

(a) storing patient medical information in an electronic patient record;

(b) generating at least one adhesive medical summary corresponding to the patient medical information; and

(c) affixing the adhesive medical summary to a physical patient record.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

(d) determining the patient medical information through an assessment.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the assessment comprises an examination of a patient.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

(d) generating a billing summary corresponding to the patient medical information.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

(d) storing a set of at least one medical condition template, wherein storing patient medical information comprises selecting at least one medical condition template from the set.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising:

(e) storing a set of at least one billing code, wherein at least one billing code in the set corresponds to at least one medical condition template.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising:

(f) selecting a billing code corresponding to the patient medical information; and

(g) generating a billing summary corresponding to the selected billing code.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the patient medical information comprises at least one determined prescription.

9. The method of claim 8 further comprising:

generating the at least one determined prescription.

10. The method of claim 5 further comprising:

storing a set of at least one prescription template, wherein storing patient medical information comprises selecting at least one prescription template.

11. The method of claim 10 further comprising associating at least one prescription template with at least one medical condition template.

12. The physical patient record produced by the method of claim 1.

13. A system for managing patient medical information comprising:

(a) an electronic patient record database comprising at least one electronic patient record containing patient medical information; and

(b) a medical summary generator operatively coupled to the electronic patient record database, and configured to generate at least one adhesive medical summary corresponding to the patient medical information.

14. The system of claim 13 further comprising:

at least one physical patient record to which the at least one adhesive medical summary may be affixed.

15. The system of claim 14 further comprising:

a stored set of at least one medical condition template, wherein each medical condition template in the set may be used to input patient medical information.

16. The system of claim 15 further comprising a stored set of at least one billing code.

17. The system of claim 16 further comprising a billing generator operatively coupled to the electronic patient record database and configured to generate billing summaries corresponding to at least one billing code.

18. The system of claim 17 wherein at least one billing code corresponds to at least one medical condition template.

19. The system of claim 13 wherein the patient medical information comprises at least one determined prescription.

20. The system of claim 19 further comprising a prescription generator operatively coupled to the electronic patient record database and configured to generate the at least one determined prescription.

21. The system of claim 15 further comprising:

a stored set of at least one prescription template, wherein each prescription template may be used to input patient medical information.

22. The system of claim 21 wherein at least one prescription template corresponds to at least one medical condition template.
