Method and system for collecting, storing and analyzing clinical and radiologic data

摘要

The invention relates to an online web-based medical database and collaboration tool that can be used by surgeons, hospitals, medical institutions, manufacturers and others to collect, store, analyze and harvest clinical and radiologic data. The clinical registry system includes a registry database and a registry processor in electrical communication with the registry database and performing operations on the registry database. The registry database stores patient data from a plurality of sites, a plurality of registry groups and an indicator for each of the plurality of sites identifying which of the plurality of registry groups each site is a member. The members of a registry group have access to aggregated data and comparative reports of all the registry group members in real-time. Each site may be a member of one registry group, multiple registry groups, or no registry groups.

主权项

1. A method of providing patient records in a registry database comprising:
receiving via a network, by the registry database, a patient record from a first medical institution of a plurality of medical institutions; storing, by a processor of a computing device, the patient record in the registry database, the registry database comprising a plurality of patient records, each patient record of the plurality of patient records received from one of the plurality of medical institutions, wherein:
each patient record of the plurality of patient records is associated with at least one registry group of a plurality of registry groups, andeach registry group of the plurality of registry groups comprises two or more medical institutions of the plurality of medical institutions; determining, by the processor, that the first medical institution is a member of a first registry group and a member of a second registry group, associating, by the processor, at least a portion of the patient record with the first registry group such that at least a portion of the patient record is accessible by a plurality of members of the first registry group, wherein the plurality of members of the first registry group comprises a first subset of the plurality of medical institutions; and associating, by the processor, at least a portion of the patient record with the second registry group such that at least a portion of the patient record is accessible by a plurality of members of the second registry group, wherein the plurality of members of the second registry group comprises a second subset of the plurality of medical institutions, wherein the first subset and the second subset of the plurality of medical institutions are different, thereby allowing the first medical institution to pool patient data with two different subsets of the plurality of medical institutions.
