ITERNET-BASED, CUSTOMIZABLE CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

An Internet-based, or Web-based, customizable clinical (patients' records and care) information system (“CIS”) is provided. More specifically, the clinical information system is Web/Internet based, whether it utilizes a browser-type user interface or a distributed application-type user interface; the clinical information system may include automatic disease staging and associated treatment planning and/or scheduling; the clinical information system may track certain events/submissions and sort such events/submissions into a physician's in-box for on-line approval by the physician, where such approval causes the event/submission to become an addendum to the patient's record; the clinical information system may be customizable by an administrator; the clinical information system may establish, and make available for on-line review and approval, patient care or standing orders over a weekend; the clinical information system may utilize patients' photographs to ensure accurate identification and proper treatment; and the clinical information system may create and store an audit trail record for all significant events.
