Abstract

Health care data is stored in memory accessible to a server. The server allows users to access the health care data, such as across a communication network. In some embodiments a biometric identifier for a patient is stored with patient information. The biometric identifier can be used to control access to patient records and to quickly locate patient information associated with a particular patient.

Claims

1. A health care data management system comprising a server device including a processor device and at least one computer storage medium, the at least one computer storage medium storing a database and data instructions, wherein the data instructions are executable by the processor device to:

register a user with the server device by receiving user data including a first biometric identifier through a web interface;

store the user data and the first biometric identifier in the database at the server device, the server device and the database being configured to operate remote from the user;

associate the first biometric identifier with the user data in the database;

receive health care information pertaining to the user and store the health care information in the user data in the database;

receive from a mass transport vehicle computing system a request including a second biometric identifier;

search the database with the server device to identify the first biometric identifier as a match to the second biometric identifier;

transmit at least part of the user data associated with the first biometric identifier to the mass transport computing system in response to the request;

update a status of the user in the user data of the database to indicate that the user is a passenger on the mass transport vehicle; and

conduct a search of the user data in the database to identify user data that indicates that the associated user is a passenger on the mass transport vehicle.

2. The health care data management system of claim 1, wherein the server further comprises a web server, and wherein transmitting the at least part of the user data is performed by sending data defining a web page.

3. The health care data management system of claim 1, wherein the mass transport vehicle computing device is communicatively coupled to a biometric reader and configured to communicate with the server across a data communication network, wherein the mass transport vehicle computing device reads the second biometric identifier from the user and sends the request including the second biometric identifier to the server.

4. The health care data management system of claim 3, wherein the mass transport vehicle computing device is a mobile computing device used by a caregiver, a mass transport vehicle staff member, or a mass transport vehicle passenger.

5. The health care data management system of claim 1, further comprising a patient computing device configured to communicate with the server across a data communication network, wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:

receive a request from the patient computing device requesting at least part of the user data;

send to the patient computing device the at least part of the user data;

receive updated user data from the patient computing device; and

store the updated user data in place of the user data.

6. The health care data management system of claim 1, wherein receiving health care information pertaining to the user comprises receiving health care information from the caregiver computing system.

7. The health care data management system of claim 1, wherein user data includes at least some of the following:

physician notes, electronic medical records, immunization records, surgical history, medication records, medical treatment records, identification of medical allergies, obstetric history, habit history, family medical history, mental health history, employment history, travel history, family history, common activities, advance directive, living will, and power of attorney for health care.

8. The health care data management system of claim 1, wherein the instructions executable to receive from the caregiver the request including the second biometric identifier are further executable to:

receive a scanned fingerprint of the registered user from a fingerprint scanner to generate the second biometric identifier at the mass transport vehicle computing system; and

send the request including the second biometric identifier from the mass transport vehicle computing system to the server.
