First Claim
1. An information system designed to improve prognosis, monitoring, and assessment of outcomes in patient with chronic diseases, which includes first and second standardized, structured questionnaires, the first standardized questionnaire for patients and the second standardized questionnaire for physicians, in electronic or paper format, including quantitative scores of clinical status to be uniquely entered into standard medical record and reports to the patients, to doctors, and electronic medical records (EMRs) the system comprising:
- a first database to collect the first questionnaire from a patient-held device, computer or paper, with quantitative patient self-report scores for physical function, pain, fatigue, global status and exercise status, with a system for tracking these scores to be inserted directly into a medical record note in standard electronic medical record (EMR) format with no dictation or typing by a doctor;
the first questionnaire also including past history of operations, illnesses, hospitalizations, allergies, medications, family history, social history, with the same system for tracking these data to be inserted directly into a medical record visit note in standard electronic medical record (EMR) format with no dictation or typing by a doctor;
wherein information from the first questionnaire is in a structured user-friendly format for the patient to amend, correct errors, and update medical history information and enterable into an electronic medical record;
an electronic version of the structured medical history to be available to other health professionals, regardless of the EMR or other system;
a second database to collect the second questionnaire, the second questionnaire includes unique quantitative scores by the doctor concerning reversible, irreversible and somatization basis for patient symptoms, and quantitative estimates of prognosis with and without therapy, which is enterable in the standard medical record format;
a computer, which controls access of the first questionnaire stored in the first database, with consent of the patient, to any doctor and the second questionnaire stored in the second database, which receives information directly from a first device of the patient or the first database and transmits doctor reviewed data to a second device of the doctor for the doctor to review patient information from the patient for a visit note to be entered into the electronic medical record (EMR); and

Abstract
An information system and method which corroborates first data provided by data owners and second data provided by data controllers includes a computer and first and second databases. The first database stores the first data and the second database stores the second data. The second data is accessible to the data controllers but not to the data owners. The computer receives from a data owner device first data created using input from one of the data owners, stores the received first data in the first database, transmits the first data retrieved from the first database to an administrator device, receives from the administrator device additional regulated data input by one of the data controllers related to the one data owner, and stores the second data which combines the transmitted first data with additional regulated data in the second database.
