Abstract
In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method aggregates medical data from a plurality of source providers. In the method, medical data is received from a source provider. This medical data may be associated with patient-identification information. In order to aggregate this data with other data about the same patient, this data is then reconciled with existing patient medical data records in a medical records database to identify a master patient to whom the received medical data relates. The medical records database includes a plurality of different types of patient medical data records, and each data record is associated with a corresponding time and a corresponding source. Verification is performed to confirm that the source provider associated with the received medical data is authorized to add medical data related to the identified master patient, and finally a new medical data record containing the received medical data is written to the database.
