A healthcare data management system includes a central processor and a database accessible by the processor that contains an electronic personal health journal. The journal includes a plurality of fields of information relating to a patient, including health status. A software program installed on the processor is adapted to establish secure communication between a user and the processor to interact with an information field of the journal subject to a predetermined permission level, which is established on the basis of a relationship between the user and the patient and on the basis of user entity and is determinative of the information fields to which the user is permitted access and of the information fields that are amendable by the user. Methods are provided for accessing and maintaining health data, increasing patient compliance, and decreasing duplication of services, healthcare costs, and iatrogenic pharmaceutical interactions.
