A printed document client receives a first print stream for a soft copy document, determines whether one or more conditions for adding a graphical symbol to the printed document are satisfied, and when the one or more conditions for adding the graphical symbol to the printed document are satisfied, adds the graphical symbol to the first print stream to generate a second print stream that includes the graphical symbol, and outputs the second print stream to a printer so the graphical symbol is printed on the printed document corresponding to the soft copy document. The printed document can be a hard copy document or a soft copy document generated from the second print stream.

Adding a graphical symbol to a print stream for a document file

A printed document manager manages printed documents and is separate from Document Management Systems (DMSs) that manage electronic soft copy documents. One or more DMSs are registered with a postmark server. A client computing device executes a postmark client, detects a print event for a specified document, and queries a postmark server to determine whether the print event for the specified document should include a graphical postmark. In response, the postmark server queries one or more of the registered DMSs to determine whether the specified document matches a document in any of the repositories of the registered DMS(s). When the specified document to be printed matches a document in a registered DMS, the postmark server authorizes the postmark client to add the graphical postmark in a print stream corresponding to the print event for the specified document.

Managing printed documents in a document processing system

A printed document manager manages printed documents and is separate from a Document Management System (DMS) that manages electronic soft copy documents also known as source documents. Documents in a DMS repository are registered in a postmark registry by a registration agent. When a document that is registered in the postmark registry is printed, a graphical symbol referred to as a 'postmark' is generated and inserted into the print stream so the postmark is printed on the hard copy of the document. The printed document is logged in a printed document store along with metadata associated with the printed document. The postmark on the printed document can be used for one or more purposes, such as to determine whether the printed document can be shredded after use and to determine whether the printed document is current.

A printed document manager manages printed documents associated with respective electronic documents. When a document is printed, a graphical symbol referred to as a 'postmark' is generated and inserted into the print stream so the postmark is printed on the hard copy of the document. The printed document is logged in a printed document store along with metadata associated with the printed document. The postmark on the printed document can be used for one or more purposes, such as to determine whether the printed document is current, to locate the corresponding print image in the printed document store, to locate the corresponding electronic document in the document management system, to automatically file a hand-notated version of the printed document, and to determine whether the printed document can be shredded after use. The printed document manager thus provides a way to effectively manage printed documents.

Computer-assisted methods, systems and mediums for providing, to a physician, information relating to a patient. One embodiment of the present invention is a method that comprises the steps of collecting a prescription history that includes information relating to one or more prescriptions issued to the patient and a prescription purchase history, storing the prescription history and prescription purchase history of the patient into a database, and accessing, by the patient, the database for the stored prescription history and prescription purchase history of the patient. The prescription purchase history includes information relating to one or more prescription purchases made by the patient in accordance with the one or more prescriptions. The method also includes the steps of retrieving the prescription history and prescription purchase history by the patient, and communicating, by the patient, the retrieved prescription history and prescription purchase history to the physician via physically or electronically in order to assist the physician in providing medical services to the patient.
