13. A method of providing medical information, comprising:
providing a database of health information descriptions, each description relating to a patient and an associated pair, the associated pair comprising an associated access code and an associated password;

receiving a prospective pair, the prospective pair comprising a prospective access code and a prospective password;
determining whether the prospective pair corresponds to one of the associated pairs;
if the prospective pair is determined to correspond to one of the associated pairs, then providing the description that corresponds to the prospective pair.
14. The method of claim 23, further comprising receiving a change to the provided description, and modifying the database according to the change.
15. The method of claim 14, further comprising recording who made the change to the provided description.
26. The method of claim 13, further comprising reading a card having thereon a card code corresponding to the prospective access code.
17. The method of claim 13, further comprising reading a fingerprint having thereon a pattern corresponding to the prospective password.
18. The method of claim 13, further comprising reading a retina having thereon a pattern corresponding to the prospective password.
19. The method of claim 13, further comprising issuing one of the associated pairs to one of the patients, and relating the one of the associated pairs with only the description relating to the one of the patients.
20. The method of claim 13, further comprising issuing one of the associated pairs to a physician, and relating the one of the associated pairs to a plurality of the descriptions.
21. The method of claim 13, further comprising issuing one of the associated pairs to a health care provider, and relating the one of the associated pairs to a plurality of the descriptions.
22. The method of claim 13, further comprising issuing one of the associated pairs to a medical cost payer, and relating the one of the associated pairs to a plurality of the descriptions.
23. The method of claim 13, further comprising providing a message to a user related to an associated pair when the description is provided.
24. An article of manufacture comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable program code instructions embodied therein to cause a computer to provide access to medical information, the instructions having:
a computer readable program code module to determine whether a prospective pair is among a group of associated pairs;
a computer readable program code module to provide medical information corresponding to the prospective pair, if the prospective pair is among the group of associated pairs.
