1. A method of communicating healthcare information, the method comprising:
- displaying a set of codes corresponding to respective healthcare data, the respective healthcare data including a plurality of medical diagnoses which correspond to at least one code;
storing the set of codes and the plurality of medical diagnoses in a memory of a portable terminal;
detecting selection of a subset of a displayed set of codes that corresponds to a medical diagnosis relevant to a patient; and
wirelessly transmitting a selected subset of the displayed set of codes from the portable terminal to a server system via a first network capable of providing communication between the portable terminal and the server system, wherein said wirelessly transmitting causes healthcare data corresponding to the selected subset of the displayed set of codes to be provided via a second network capable of providing communication between the server system and a patient accessible device.

9. A machine-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
-
displaying a set of codes and medical diagnoses on a portable terminal, one or more of the set of codes corresponding to respective healthcare data, the respective healthcare data including the medical diagnoses one or more of which corresponds to at least one code, wherein the set of codes and the medical diagnoses are stored in a memory of the portable terminal; detecting selection of a subset of the set of codes that corresponds to a comprehensive medical diagnoses of patient; and wirelessly transmitting a selected subset of the set of codes to a server system via a first network capable of providing communication between the portable terminal and a server system, wherein said wirelessly transmitting the selected subset of the set of codes causes at least some of the medical diagnoses to be provided to the patient via a second network capable of providing communication between the server system and a patient accessible device.
