1. A method for maintaining electronic patient medical information, comprising:
generating one electronic patient data structure consisting of patient identification information, patient biographical information, medical history information including medical event information, medication schedule information, appointment schedule information, and log information;
electronically transmitting the patient data structure between a physician computer and a portable patient device, wherein the patient data structure is capable of being modified; and
displaying, in the display of the portable computing device, a main menu of selectable views, wherein the selectable views consist of a patient bio view, a medical history view, a patient medication schedule view, an appointment schedule view, and a log view, and wherein the appointment schedule view displayed in the display of the portable computing device differs from the appointment schedule view that is displayable on a display at the physician computer, and wherein direct selection of one of the selectable views results in that selected view being displayed independently of the other selectable views.
