store the patient webpage;
a patient identification card provided to the patient, the patient identification card having an internet URL corresponding to the patient webpage encoded within a machine readable code;
wherein the patient data module is further programmed to:
receive, from a computer, a request to view the internet URL; and
transmit the patient webpage to the computer.
17. The system of claim 16, wherein the patient medical records are from a hospital treating the patient for a medical condition, and wherein the patient medical data comprises information to facilitate ongoing treatment of the patient related to the particular medical condition by a doctor who is not a primary treating doctor for the patient.
18. The system of claim 16, wherein the patient medical records are associated with a rare, complex, or chronic medical condition, and wherein the patient webpage contains links to care protocols for the medical condition.
19. The system of claim 16, wherein the patient identification card comprises an embedded fingerprint scanner and a processor configured to analyze a fingerprint and return a pin number if the fingerprint is from the patient, and wherein the pin number is required to access the patient webpage.
20. The system of claim 16, wherein the patient data module is programmed to save patient medical data as a database entry associated with the patient and periodically export the patient webpage to update the patient medical data.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method of differentiating an unexposed planographic printing plate from an exposed planographic printing plate by means of making a planographic printing plate comprising a substrate having thereon one or more layers of aluminum oxide, and one or more layers of radiation-sensitive titanium dioxide coated thereon and excluding an organic hydrophobic material or a binder within or above a radiation-sensitive layer, the method comprising depositing at least the one or more layers of titanium dioxide by vapour deposition and exposing the one or more layers to radiation without that exposure causing an ablative effect.
