display the historical clinical data associated with the at least one patient on a graphical user interface;
capture additional clinical data related to a medical visit associated with the at least one patient;
transmit the additional clinical data related to the medical visit to at least one digital storage segment; and
the least one digital storage segment, wherein the at least one digital storage segment is configured to store the received historical clinical data and the additional clinical data.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the additional clinical data related to a medical visit comprises data related to at least one of a healthcare diagnosis or a medical procedure.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the additional clinical data related to the medical visit comprises payment data related to at least one of a medical billing code, Medicare inventive program requirement, or Medicaid EHR incentive program requirement.

a first digital storage segment, wherein the at least one digital storage segment stores a plurality of templates to facilitate the input of clinical data related to a medical visit associated with at least one patient;
a second digital storage segment, wherein the second digital storage segment stores plurality of electronic healthcare records associated with the at least one patient; and
wherein the computing device is further capable of:
accessing the plurality of electronic healthcare records;
displaying at least one template to facilitate the input of clinical data;
input additional clinical data related to a medical visit within the at least one template; and
updating the clinical data related to at least one patient.
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the additional clinical data related to a medical visit comprises data related to at least one of a healthcare diagnosis or a medical procedure.
11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the additional clinical data related to a medical visit comprises data related to at least one of an appointment scheduling, a clinic note, a medical summary, a prescription and a laboratory result.
12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the additional clinical data related to a medical visit comprises data related to at least one of a medical billing code, Medicare incentive program requirements, and Medicaid EHR incentive program requirements.
