The invention relates to an integrated method of identifying, aggregating and making accessible information from multiple heterogeneous sources including receiving data about an entity from a remotely located source; parsing the data using a parser specific to the remotely located source; if the entity does not have an existing unique entity identifier, assigning a unique entity identifier to the entity; associating the data with the unique entity identifier for the entity; associating a version number with the data and the unique entity identifier; storing the data and the version number in a location specific to the remotely located source; aggregating the entity data accumulated from multiple remote sources and stored in locations specific to the remote source in a common, logical view of the entity record; populating the common, logical entity record in a high speed memory with the data; making the entity data available from the high speed memory for use by one or more applications independently of each other and to one or more local users of a central repository and to one or more geographically remote users of the central repository; and limiting the use of the entity data and information in the central repository to only authorized users across a geographically distributed area.

A method and system for clinical order entry and decision support are provided. The system and method allow physicians to input orders directly in clinical shorthand. The system presents high-probability choices for order action, determination of clinical context and possible problem solutions. The choices reflect current medical research, patient-specific information and standard practices of other physicians and/or administrators. Selections or edits to the presented choices can be entered quickly and easily, thereby allowing automated generation of complete orders needed to carry out the decisions made. In this way, medical decisions can be made and executed in a fast, efficient and standardized manner.
