A computer-implemented method for managing medical information that includes the steps of : providing a central database (12) of information having disparate data fields containing data, and performing an action based upon the data in the disparate data fields. The method includes of sorting, providing warnings or reminders, searching, organizing, transmitting, and presenting data from the database. The medical information management system includes a central database resident on a computing system. The central database has multiple disparate data fields containing data pertaining to patient-related information. A user interface (14) communicates with the central database for accepting user input and transmitting system output. A visual display also communicates with the user interface to display the disparate data fields in selected or selectable formats. The system can include a report generating module (18), a device interface (20), and a compliance calculation module, all of which are in communication with the central database. |
