1. A system comprising:
- a local electronic medical record (EMR) system providing access to a clinician associated with a patient, the local EMR system implemented using a combination of a remote patient health record (PHR) server including a first processor configured for the remote PHR server, a local PHR client including a second processor configured for the local PHR client, and a local PHR database, each of the remote PHR server, the local PHR client, and the local PHR database unaccessible to the clinician and accessible only to the patient and authorized designees of the patient via a patient-specific encryption key, wherein the local PHR client, the remote PHR server, and the local PHR database are arranged to emulate EMR functionality and data for the local EMR system without installation and support of an onsite EMR system, wherein the remote PHR server cannot decrypt records, and wherein the local PHR client is to facilitate both secure patient access and secure clinician access to the remote PHR server for electronic patient medical information, the electronic patient medical information controlled by the patient and made accessible to the clinician via the remote PHR server and a clinician-side portal configured to enable the local EMR system for the clinician.

Abstract
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for managing medical information. Certain embodiments provide a local electronic medical record system including a local personal health record (PHR) client, the PHR client downloading encrypted patient documents from a remote PHR server and parsing the downloaded encrypted patient documents to form a local PHR database. The example system also includes an interface receiving user input including an encryption key to decrypt the downloaded encrypted patient documents and displaying patient medical information to the user based on the downloaded decrypted patient documents.
