Abstract

A system and method for reporting medical information permits a user to output reports containing the information in multiple formats. The user can select report recipients, report templates and output formats. The report templates can be populated with data stored in a database. Different recipients can receive the reports in different formats and/or languages. Different recipients can also receive reports generated from the same template but containing different data.

Claims

1. A method of outputting a report in multiple formats, including the steps of:

selecting a report recipient;

selecting a report template;

selecting at least two formats in which the report will be output;

populating the report template; and

outputting the report in the selected formats.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein an e-mail is one of the selected output formats.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein a printed copy is one of the selected output formats.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein a fax is one of the selected output formats.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein a text message is one of the selected output formats.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein a posting to a web page is one of the selected output formats.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the recipient is selected from a list.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the report template is selected from a list.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein a report is output to the recipient in at least one of the selected formats.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the report template is populated with data stored in a database.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the data relates to the recipient.

12. The method according to claim 10, wherein the data relates to a medical condition of the recipient.

13. The method according to claim 1, further including the step of selecting a language in which at least one format of the report will be output.

14. The method according to claim 1, further including the step of selecting a first language in which one format of the report will be output and selecting a second language in which a second format of the report will be output.

15. The method according to claim 1, further including the steps of selecting a second report template, populating the second report template and outputting a second report in the selected formats.

31. The method according to claim 1, wherein one of the selected output formats is a file configured for access by a computer system.

16. A method of outputting a report in multiple formats, including the steps of:

selecting at least two report recipients;

selecting a report template;

selecting at least two formats in which the report will be output;

populating the report template; and

outputting the report in the selected formats.

17. The method according to claim 16, wherein at least one of the report recipients receives the report in at least two of the selected output formats.

18. The method according to claim 16, wherein one recipient receives the report in one of the selected output formats and a second recipient receives the report in a different one of the selected output formats.

19. The method according to claim 16, wherein the report template is populated with data stored in a database.

20. The method according to claim 16, wherein the report template is populated with a first set of data stored in a database to generate a first report to be output to a first one of the recipients and the template is populated with a second set of data stored in a database to generate a second report to be output to a second one of the recipients.

21. The method according to claim 20, wherein the first set of data relates to the first recipient and the second set of data relates to the second recipient.

22. The method according to claim 21, wherein the first set of data relates to a medical condition of the first recipient and the second set of data relates to a medical condition of the second recipient.

23. The method according to claim 16, further including the step of selecting a language in which at least one format of the report will be output.

24. The method according to claim 16, further including the step of selecting a first language in which one format of the report will be output and selecting a second language in which a second format of the report will be output.

25. The method according to claim 16, further including the step of selecting a first language in which the report is generated to be output to a first one of the recipients and selecting a second language in which the report is generated to be output to a second one of the recipients.

26. The method according to claim 16, further including the steps of selecting a second report template, populating the second report template and outputting a second report in the selected formats.

27. A system for outputting a report in multiple formats, including:

a database;

a plurality of report recipients stored in the database;

a plurality of report templates stored in the database;

data stored in the database for populating the report templates to produce reports; and

means for selecting the formats in which the reports are output.

28. The system according to claim 27, further including means for selecting the report recipients.

29. The system according to claim 27, further including means for selecting the report templates.

30. The system according to claim 27, further including means for selecting the languages in which the reports are output.
