A patient management method for hospital-based physicians includes a remote computer server storing certain minimal information regarding patients of one or more physicians. The remote server is linked over a computer network to one or more physician-accessible computers remote from the computer server. Physicians can access such patient information over the network via the physician-accessible computer to view information regarding their patients. Following patient visits, the physician can update patient status information, such as diagnosis, treatment codes, and patient disposition, by entering such information into the server over the network. An administrator in the physician's office can also access the server over a computer network to capture updated patient status information for purposes of workload distribution and/or billing. The interposition of the server between the physician-accessible computer and the physician's office helps ensure compliance with the federal HIPAA Privacy Rule.
