ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for creating and using a reusable medical protocol to create a patient chart is provided. The protocol is created by selecting various medical findings from a database containing a plurality of coded medical findings, wherein the coded medical findings are grouped into several different sections such as a symptoms section, a history section, a physical findings section, a diagnoses section, a test section and a therapy section. Once the medical findings have been selected, the order of the display of the findings within the protocol is selected. The created protocol is then displayed on a display screen. The healthcare professional then selects medical findings displayed in the protocol which describe the patient's situation. According to the present, the selected medical findings are automatically placed in the correct section of the patient chart based upon the code of the selected medical finding, wherein the patient chart is divided into the same sections as the protocol.
