Trusted Partner Medical Records System and Method
First Claim
1. A method for sharing patient medical records among a plurality of separate entities wherein each of the entities maintains a separate electronic medical records (EMR) system that stores patient data usable to generate patient data views, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a first data request associated with a first patient via a first entity where the first entity is a requesting entity;
in response to the first data request;
automatically identifying a trusted subset of entities from the plurality of entities;
automatically identifying the EMR systems associated with the identified trusted subset of entities that maintain at least a subset of data associated with the first patient;
using the subsets of data from the EMR systems associated with the identified subset entities to update patient data maintained by the requesting entity wherein the patient data includes patient medical chart data usable to generate a patient medical chart; and
using the updated patient data maintained by the requesting entity to generate and present a patient medical chart via a display.

Abstract
A method and system for sharing patient medical records among a plurality of separate entities wherein each of the entities maintains a separate electronic medical records (EMR) system, the method comprising the steps of receiving a first data request associated with a first patient via a first entity where the first entity is a requesting, automatically identifying the EMR systems associated with a trusted subset of entities that maintain at least a subset of data associated with the first patient, using the subsets of data from the identified EMR systems to update patient data maintained by the requesting entity wherein the patient data includes patient medical chart data and using the updated patient data maintained by the requesting entity to generate and present a patient medical chart via a display.

14. A method for sharing patient medical chart data among a plurality of separate entities, the method comprising the steps of:
-
associating separate electronic medical records systems with each of the plurality of entities wherein each medical records system stores data for generating patient data views; establishing a trusted relationship between a subset of the plurality of entities where entities having the trusted relationship form a trusted subset, the plurality of entities including non-trusted entities in addition to the trusted subset entities, trusted subset entities that have generated a patient view for a first patient comprising a first patient visited entities (PVE) subset; and the first PVE subset entities automatically synchronizing at least patient data subsets among the separate electronic medical records systems associated with the first PVE subset entities so that all of the PVE subset entities include current automatically synchronized data subsets.

18. A method for sharing patient medical records among a plurality of separate and unaffiliated entities, the method comprising the steps of:
-
associating separate electronic medical records (EMR) systems with each of the plurality of entities wherein each EMR system stores data usable to generate patient data views; establishing a trusted relationship between a subset of the plurality of entities where entities having the trusted relationship form a trusted subset; automatically sharing patient data among at least a subset of the trusted subset entities; and when data is received from one of the trusted subset entities, the EMR system associated with the receiving entity using the received data to update the patient data stored by the receiving entity. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A system for sharing patient medical records among a plurality of separate entities wherein each of the entities maintains a separate electronic medical records (EMR) system that stores patient data usable to generate patient data views, the system comprising:
-
a processor programmed to perform the steps of; receiving a first data request associated with a first patient via a first entity where the first entity is a requesting entity; in response to the first data request; automatically identifying a trusted subset of entities from the plurality of entities; automatically identifying the EMR systems associated with the identified trusted subset of entities that maintain at least a subset of data associated with the first patient; using the subsets of data from the EMR systems associated with the identified subset entities to update patient data maintained by the requesting entity wherein the patient data includes patient medical chart data usable to generate a patient medical chart; and using the updated patient data maintained by the requesting entity to generate and present a patient medical chart via a display.
