A system for reporting medical information to healthcare provider users m ay require users to acknowledge receipt of information. Information may be s ent using a secure instant messaging (SIM) protocol, and users may acknowled ge receipt, e.g., by sending a message, or clicking on a uniform resource lo cator (URL) or button included in the information. Unacknowledged informatio n may be re-sent at designated time intervals, and may have different levels of urgency indicated in the message. Acknowledgement may be tracked by the system, e.g., by recording the user and timestamp of acknowledgement. Feeds or syndications (e.g., RSS, RDF, Atom, etc.) may be used to provide medical information, allowing users to subscribe to feeds for one or more patients. Feeds may be continuously aggregated and updated with the most recent inform ation for each of the patients. Users can easily distinguish new information from information already accessed, thereby allowing the healthcare provider to efficiently sort through the medical data.
