Client-centric e-health system and method with applications to long-term health and community care consumers, insurers, and regulators

摘要

A patient-centric system and method for accessing personal health records of a patient, stored in relational databases and containing comprehensive records of multiple patients with each patient's records incorporating many different data categories and functions including manual or automated data exchange, consolidation, storage, routing and transmission, consistent with consent directives assigned to authorized users and computer systems of authorized users by the patient or designated representative thereof. The consent directives define privileges of access in each of said data categories and functions within the patients records. The patients records are stored in relational databases hosted by Web servers on a computer network through which the authorized users interact under the control of programming logic consistent with the consent directives assigned by the patient or designated representative thereof.
