1. A method for automated processing of medical information, comprising:

  • creating on a plurality of cloud server network devices, each with one or more processors on a cloud communications network, a plurality of pooled cloud hardware resources comprising;

    (1) automatic provisioning of the plurality of pooled cloud hardware resources usable in any amount at any time as needed and available via a plurality of cloud broadband network access components on the plurality of cloud server network devices;

    (2) automatic scaling of the plurality of pooled cloud hardware resources to obtain and release one or more of the plurality of pooled cloud hardware resources as required;

    (3) automatic controlling and optimizing the pooled cloud hardware resources with a metering method;

    (4) a plurality of cloud software services for automated processing of medical information including a cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS), a cloud computing Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and plurality of available cloud Software services as a Service (SaaS) including a plurality of different software services for automated risk reduction in processing of medical records information after a patient encounter, the plurality of cloud software services for automated processing of medical information comprising;

    cloud networking services, storage services, virtualization services, operating system services, run-time services, data services and application services executed with the plurality of pooled cloud hardware resources;

    selecting from a first application on a first network device with one or more second processors a PaaS and a IaaS provided by the plurality of pooled cloud hardware resources on the cloud communications network;

    selecting from the first application a first set of SaaS cloud services from a the plurality of available cloud SaaS services for automated electronic medical records processing including reducing risk and reducing a number of possible diagnostic decisions when processing medical records from the patient encounter, on a the cloud communications network;

    selecting from the first application on the first network device with one or more SaaS services from the selected first set of SaaS cloud services a plurality of individual data structures comprising a plurality of medical information matrixes including a historical information (HX) matrix, a patient examination (PX) matrix, a complexity risk (CX) information matrix and an Evaluation and Management (E/M) summary information matrix, each with a plurality of unique matrix information fields, the plurality of individual data structures stored in one or more cloud storage objects on the cloud communications network and available to the first set of SaaS could services selected by the first application;

    collecting data from the patient encounter into a plurality of data fields on one or more different electronic medical templates with one or more SaaS services from the selected first set of SaaS cloud services on the first application on the first network device with the one or more processors via the cloud communications network;

    aggregating from the first application with one or more SaaS services from the selected first set of SaaS cloud services in real-time only selected ones of data items from the plurality of data fields from the one or more different electronic medical templates storing the collected patient encounter data into the plurality of information matrixes stored in the one or more cloud storage objects, the plurality of information matrixes including;

    the historical information (HX) matrix, a patient examination (PX) matrix, the complexity risk (CX) information matrix and the Evaluation and Management (E/M) summary information matrix, each with the plurality of unique matrix information fields;

    eliminating from the first with one or more SaaS services from the selected first set of SaaS cloud services with the only selected ones of data items aggregated into the plurality of information matrixes an amount and complexity of the patient encounter data collected to be reviewed during the patient encounter;

    reducing from the first application with one or more SaaS services from the selected first set of SaaS cloud services with the selected data items aggregated into the plurality of information matrixes a number of diagnostic options to be considered during the patient encounter, thereby reducing a medical risk associated with making a complex medical decision for the patient encounter and limiting an amount and complexity of patient data to be processed and reviewed after the patient encounter;

    calculating from the first application with one or more SaaS services from the selected first set of SaaS cloud services in real-time a plurality of matrix summary values from the plurality of information matrixes;

    calculating from the first application with one or more SaaS services from the selected first set of SaaS cloud services in real-time one or more medical and billing codes using the calculated plurality of matrix summary values;

    generating from the first application with one or more SaaS services from the selected first set of SaaS cloud services in real-time an electronic patient medical record with a plurality of data fields from the calculated plurality of matrix summary values and the one or more calculated medical and billing codes;

    generating from the first application with one or more SaaS services from the selected first set of SaaS cloud services in real-time a patient invoice for the patient encounter from the generated electronic medical record; and

    displaying securely from the first application with one or more SaaS services from the selected first set of SaaS cloud services in real-time on the first network device on a display component via a graphical user interface (GUI) via the cloud communications network selected ones of the plural data fields from the generated electronic patient medical record, including complexity risk information for the patient encounter and the generated patient invoice wherein the generated electronic medical record provides a three hundred-sixty degree view of medical, billing, insurance and other information collected and generated from the patient encounter, wherein displaying the three hundred-sixty degree view comprises displaying the medical, billing, insurance and other information on the GUI surrounding a patient avatar.
