e-CHIF eliminates the inconsistency and duplication of Patient Records by centralizing the data in only one place, the e-CHIF database. Using a web based portal, a health provider initially adds the patient record. The patient owns the data and makes it available to subsequent health providers including physicists, dentists, psychiatrics, and alternative medicine practitioners who add additional data to the patient record. Therefore a patient or an authorized health provider can view the complete health history of a person including conventional and alternative medicine treatments. Additionally, the health provider using the e-CHIF web site has the capability to electronically submit an insurance claim, request a prescription to a pharmacy, or a test to a laboratory. To assist the patient, health providers, and medical research several statistical reports without personal identifiable information can be generated using the e-CHIF data.
