1. A computer-implemented method for use in a medical record repository, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- (a) storing patient-generated medical data from a patient in a medical record repository database on a first computer system;
(b) storing patient-collected medical data relating to the patient from a clinical record system in the medical record repository database;
(c) storing physician-generated medical data relating to the patient from at least one clinical record system in the medical record repository database;
(d) storing an indicator in the medical record repository database identifying stored medical data as patient-generated, patient-collected or physician-generated, wherein physician-generated medical data is identified as medical data that has not been collected or generated by a patient;
(e) displaying, via a processor, at least one of the patient-generated, patient-collected, and physician-generated medical data for the patient;
wherein the at least one of the patient-generated, patient-collected, and physician-generated medical data is visually linked to a visual indication of an authority of the data based on its identification as physician-generated having a high level of authority, patient-collected having a medium level of authority, and patient-generated having a low level of authority;
(f) displaying a numerical ranking indicating the level of authority associated with the medical data.

Abstract
A system for facilitating patient ownership of his or her medical data through the use of third-party health repositories that preserves the maximum information content of the medical records by displaying information relevant to the authority of the medical data as reflected by its source and types of modification as it has moved between institutions, as well as the data itself. In this way, improved use of this data is made possible.

17. A health record system, comprising:
-
a medical record repository including at least one computer communicating with a set of data terminals and a repository database and executing a repository program to collect, organize, and display medical data controlled by given patients, the medical record repository including an authentication protocol limiting access by others than the given patients, the repository program operating to; (a) store patient-generated medical data from a patient in a medical record repository database on a first computer system; (b) store patient-collected medical data relating to the patient from a clinical record system in the medical record repository database; (c) store physician-generated medical data relating to the patient from at least one clinical record system in the medical record repository database; (d) store an indicator in the medical record repository database identifying stored medical data as patient-generated, patient-collected or physician-generated, wherein physician-generated medical data is identified as medical data that has not been collected or generated by a patient; (e) display at least one of the patient-generated, patient-collected, and physician-generated medical data for the patient;
wherein the at least one of the patient-generated, patient-collected, and physician-generated medical data is visually linked to a visual indication of an authority of the data based on its identification as physician-generated having a high level of authority, patient-collected having a medium level of authority, and patient-generated having a low level of authority; and(f) display a numerical ranking indicating the level of authority associated with the medical data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
