Patients with chronic illnesses resist using conventional automated healthcare management systems to supply necessary clinical data because such systems feel impersonal, preferring to actually visit a clinic where the patient interacts with various healthcare practitioners. In this invention, the patient interacts with a clinical management system via a series of initial GUI screens that replicate the experience of actually visiting the clinic. Additional screens allow the patient to submit clinical information, to communicate with that patient's healthcare practitioner and other healthcare practitioners, to access management information that aids the patient in managing that patient's chronic illness, and to access educational information regarding that chronic illness. The clinical management system may be used to manage a plurality of different chronic illnesses while providing a consistent look and feel to the screens. At least one appearance characteristic can be altered to indicate the particular chronic illness to which a screen applies.

The method of claim 15, wherein providing the third set of at least one graphical user interface screen usable by the at least one healthcare practitioner to review the clinical data includes providing an icon for linking to the user interface for the at least one healthcare practitioner to send messages to or receive messages from the user. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the third set of at least one graphical user interface screen includes allowing the at least one healthcare practitioner to review messages sent to or received from the user when reviewing the clinical data associated with the user. 18. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing a user interface for the at least one healthcare practitioner to send messages to or receive messages from other healthcare practitioners. 19.
