First Claim
1. A system for collecting national registry data in conjunction with an existing electronic medical records system as patient care is conducted, comprising:
- a database that stores a plurality of variables per patient for one or more national registries; and
a processor in communication with the database thatin order to simultaneously collect data required to populate one or more variables of one or more national registries and data needed to populate a clinical note medical record of an existing electronic medical records system as a patient is being seen by a healthcare provider, provides a user interface that requests clinical note data from the healthcare provider and displays on the user interface at the same time both the data required to populate one or more variables of the one or more national registries and the data needed to populate a clinical note medical record of an existing electronic medical records system,receives the clinical note data entered by the healthcare provider for the patient from the user interface,determines that the clinical note data being entered is similar to the data required to populate one or more variables of the one or more national registries and prompts the healthcare provider to enter the data required to populate one or more variables of the one or more national registries, andautomatically and at the same time stores the entered clinical note data needed to populate a clinical note medical record in the existing electronic medical records system for the patient and stores the entered clinical note data required to populate one or more variables for the patient for the one or more national registries in the database.

Abstract
A user interface is provided that requests clinical note data from a healthcare provider as a patient is being seen by the healthcare provider. The clinical note data requested includes data needed to populate one or more variables of one or more national registries and data needed to populate a clinical note medical record of an existing electronic medical records system. The clinical note data entered by the healthcare provider for the patient is received from the user interface. Automatically and at substantially the same time, the entered clinical note data needed to populate a clinical note medical record of an existing EMR system for the patient is stored in the existing EMR system, and the entered clinical note data needed to populate one or more variables for the patient for the one or more national registries is stored in a database.

20. A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory and tangible computer-readable storage medium whose contents include a program with instructions being executed on a processor so as to perform a method for collecting national registry data in conjunction with an existing electronic medical records system as patient care is conducted, the method comprising:
-
providing a system, wherein the system comprises one or more distinct software modules, and wherein the distinct software modules comprise a user interface module and a storage module; in order to simultaneously collect data required to populate one or more variables of one or more national registries and data needed to populate a clinical note medical record of an existing electronic medical records system as a patient is being seen by a healthcare provider, providing a user interface that requests clinical note data from the healthcare provider and displaying on the user interface at the same time both the data required to populate one or more variables of one or more national registries and the data needed to populate a clinical note medical record of an existing electronic medical records system; receiving the clinical note data entered by the healthcare provider for the patient from the user interface using the user interface module; determining that the clinical note data being entered is similar to the data required to populate one or more variables of the one or more national registries and prompting the healthcare provider to enter the data required to populate one or more variables of the one or more national registries; and automatically and at the same time, storing the entered clinical note data needed to populate a clinical note medical record in the existing electronic medical records system for the patient and storing the entered clinical note data required to populate one or more variables for the patient for the one or more national registries in the database using the storage module.
