First Claim
1. A communication system, comprising:
- a network;
a first communication device operated by a first medical unit by way of said network;
a first medical record server adapted to;
receive an identification number associated with a data object pertaining to a medical record of a subscriber from the first communication device; and
in response to receiving said identification number, send medical information from said data object to said first communication device by way of said network, wherein said first communication device is further adapted to receive said medical information from said first medical record server by way of said network, receive an annotation to said medical information from said first medical unit, and modify said medical information to include said annotation; and
a second medical record server, wherein said first communication device is adapted to send said annotated medical information to said second medical record server, and said second medical record server is further adapted to;
receive a request for statistical information related to medical information pertaining to a plurality of medical records pertaining to respective subscribers from a second communication device by way of said network, wherein each of said medical records includes an annotation from a medical unit responding to a medical emergency associated with a corresponding subscriber, and wherein said request includes input parameters related to said statistical information;
perform an analysis on a basis of said input parameters to generate said statistical information; and
send said statistical information to said second communication device by way of said network.

Abstract
A system and method for aggregating and providing subscriber medical record information to medical units. The system includes an ICE medical record server that stores a plurality of medical records of respective subscribers. When a subscriber is being attended by a medical unit, the medical unit using a communication device sends an identification number to the server. In response, the server sends the subscriber'"'"'s medical record to the communication device. The communication device may populate a medical form with the information and display it for use in diagnosing and treating the subscriber. The medical unit may annotate the medical form to document the on-going emergency, and upload it to a professional medical record server, which may provide the information to a medical facility to which the subscriber will be transported. The ICE and/or professional medical record servers may perform statistical analyses of the information in their respective databases for the purpose of performing symptomatic surveillance and other public health analyses.
