Abstract

A system for electronically recording and sharing medical data is provided, the system comprising an electronic source document, wherein the electronic source document comprises a database. In one particular embodiment, the medical data comprise clinical study data, and in another the medical data comprise patient specific data. In some embodiments, the system includes means for defining data parameters and storing the data parameters within the electronic source document, as well as a browser-based means for entering data into the electronic source document and storing the data therein. In a further embodiment, the system comprises means for one or more users of the system to view stored data. In a still further embodiment, means for one or more users to amend data stored in the electronic source document is provided, and in yet another embodiment the system comprises means for creating and maintaining an audit trail when one or more of the users amends data stored in the electronic source document. In other embodiments, the system further comprises an application specific navigation tool; in some embodiments, the application specific tool comprises a graphical user interface. Appropriate methods of using the system are also provided.

Claims

1. A system for electronically recording and sharing medical data, said system comprising:

an electronic source document, wherein said electronic source document further comprises a database.

2. The system for electronically recording and sharing medical data of claim 1, further comprising:

means for defining parameters of medical data and storing said medical data parameters within the electronic source document; and

means for entering medical data into the electronic source document and storing said medical data therein.

3. The system for electronically recording and sharing medical data of claim 2, further comprising:

means for one or more users of the system to view stored medical data.

4. The system for electronically recording and sharing medical data of claim 1, further comprising:

means for defining parameters of patient data and storing said patient data parameters with the electronic source document; and

means for entering patient data into the electronic source document and storing said patient data therein.

5. The system for electronically recording and sharing medical data of claim 4, further comprising:

means for one or more users of the system to view stored patient data.

6. The system for electronically recording and sharing medical data of claim 3, further comprising means for said one or more users to amend said medical data stored in said electronic source document.

7. The system for electronically recording and sharing medical data of claim 6, further comprising means for creating and maintaining an audit trail when said one or more of users amends medical stored in said electronic source document.

8. The system for electronically recording and sharing medical data of claim 5, further comprising means for said one or more users to amend said patient data stored in said electronic source document.

9. The system for electronically storing and sharing medical data of claim 8, further comprising means for creating and maintaining an audit trail when said one or more of users amends patient data stored in said electronic source document.

10. The system for electronically recording and sharing medical data of claim 1, further comprising an application specific navigation tool.

11. The system for electronically recording and sharing medical data of claim 10, wherein said application specific tool further comprises a graphical user interface.

12. The system for electronically recording and sharing medical data of claim 2, wherein said means for entering medical data further comprises a browser.
