There is also the work done by HL7 for a standard "Patient Record"
data structure. It pretty much defines what they consider the
necessary data that a hospital or other health service provider needs
on a particular patient. By making a standard, this should facilitate
the transfer of electronic client records between such organizations.
I'm not exactly sure if this pertains to the subject matter at hand,
however, and I just throw it out in case others are not aware of their
work. Of course, it's not an application but simply the abstract
definitions of the records themselves.
See <http://www.hl7.org/> for more information.
