Methods and systems related to computer based systems for maintaining and updating a database for medical and other service providers. A computer system serving as a network server makes a relational database available to users, such as medical practitioners, nurses, and social workers. Users log in over a network connection from a remote workstation and are able to access the database to obtain information on available medical, health, social or community services. Users may update the database in real time as situations change. Use of the database allows practitioners to refer patients to appropriate available services and may allow service providers access to information regarding individuals in need of such services. Coordination among service providers and geographic regions may be based upon information in the database. Analysis of database contents over time may be used to predict future needs or to assist in epidemiological analysis.
