Systems and methods for providing and maintaining electronic medical records
First Claim
1. In a computer processing system that is configured to be associated with healthcare services, a method for generating, displaying and recording healthcare service information, the method comprising:
- rendering a user interface that includes a patient form and a data logger on an output device of the computer processing system, wherein the patient form includes a plurality of selectable user interface elements, each selectable user interface element representing a patient healthcare parameter, and wherein the data logger comprises an electronically generated note that displays summary details regarding changes made to the patient form;
receiving user input to the patient form that selects a first of the plurality of selectable user interface elements;
receiving user input to a second of the plurality of selectable user interface elements that provides a value for the patient healthcare parameter associated with the first user interface element;
automatically creating a first and a second entry in the data logger, the first entry identifying the patient healthcare parameter associated with the first user interface element, the second entry identifying the value provided for the patient healthcare parameter associated with the first user interface element;
linking the first entry in the data logger with the first user interface element and the second entry in the data logger with the second user interface element;
receiving user input that selects the second entry in the data logger;
in response to the user input that selects the second entry in the data logger, displaying the second user interface element in the patient form of the user interface and moving focus of the user interface to the second user interface element to enable the user to directly modify the second user interface element without requiring navigation to the second user interface element;
receiving input that modifies the value in the second user interface element; and
in response to receiving input that modifies the value in the second user interface element, automatically updating the second entry in accordance with the modification to the value.

Abstract
A customizable and dynamic electronic patient form and information system is provided having features whereby a healthcare provider may select and record various values corresponding to patient categories, the values being recorded as discrete data points at locations on a display that are reliable and predictive, and that are simultaneously displayed as selections on the patient form and as entries on a data logger or patient summary sheet. Further changes or modifications to the value are recorded as discrete data points and simultaneously displayed on the patient form and in the patient summary sheet. The patient form further includes features to permit a user to modify the form as desired to suit the needs of the patient and/or the healthcare provider'"'"'s field of practice.
