System and method to administer a patient specific anonymous medical questionnaire over the public Internet using manual decryption of user information

摘要

The invention is a system and method for a physician to administer an interactive, branched logic computerized medical questionnaire over a public internet to patients, such that said patients or said physician does not have to be identified on the questionnaire by name, and, therefore, can remain anonymous. The questionnaire is administered on a public Internet site using a personal identification number for the physician which, when interpreted by a third-party database, routes the output to the physician based on information provided by the physician. The output contains patient-related information which only the physician knows. The physician relates the patient information contained in the output, via manual means, to information already known about the patient based on the physician-patient relationship, the patient is identified and the output can be placed within the patients record.
