CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] There are three co-pending co-assigned related applications filed concurrently with the instant application, the three co-pending and co-assigned applications are identified by Attorney Docket Nos. 5577-328, 5577-329, and 5577-330, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference as if recited in full herein. RESERVATION OF COPYRIGHT [0002] A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains material to which a claim of copyright protection is made. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile or reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but reserves all other rights whatsoever. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] The present invention relates to data sharing using a computer network and may be particularly suitable for healthcare clinical data sharing over an intranet and/or the public Internet. [0004] Healthcare communication systems are typically limited and generally non-standard between institutions and it is difficult to access, track, monitor and/or alert healthcare data across multiple healthcare providers. In the United States, there are over six thousand hospitals, hundreds of thousands of health professionals, and multiple other parties that may desire to exchange clinical data. There are technical, legal and/or societal obstacles for data sharing utilizing centralized data repositories to facilitate the data exchange, and it would be nearly impossible to maintain current awareness and/or access to central data repositories, even if such repositories existed. Further, many privacy organizations oppose a national (or multi-national or global) repository that collects patient information from patients being treated in a healthcare system. [0005] In the past, conventional approaches for exchanging healthcare data included manual transmission of data such as mailing, telephone calls, exchange of data tapes, disks or files in project-specific formats and/or point-to-point interfaces, and/or to use data mining techniques to provide data sharing. That is, some conventional systems have been configured to share diverse data sets and distill information on specific events by Extracting data from the source, Transforming and normalizing the data, then Loading the transformed data into a central repository for data mining ("ETL"). Unfortunately, ETL can make such systems hard to use and may limit the scalability thereof. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] Particular embodiments are directed to Publisher sources of healthcare data configured to communicate with an Internet-based data sharing system. The Publisher includes a Publisher Gateway configured to: (a) receive patient data from a plurality of data input sources electrnically; (b) automatically correlate data from the plurality of input sources associated with respective patients into respective electronic patient data records having electronically searchable data fields; and (c) electronically store the patient data records in a Publisher database. [0007] Some embodiments are directed to methods of receiving and publishing source data from Publishers of source data to one or more participating Subscribers using a computer network. The methods include: (a) receiving data from a plurality of different data sources of disparate electronic data formats at a respective Publisher Gateway; (b) automatically electronically correlating related data from the data sources to generate at least one of person and/or event related electronic data records; and (c) automatically selectively publishing data from the electronic data records from respective Publisher Gateway to Subscribers over the computer network. [0008] Yet other embodiments are directed to computer program products for providing a collaborative healthcare data sharing system using a computer network, the computer program product includes: a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied in the medium. The computer-readable program code including: (a) computer readable program code configured to receive and correlate data from a plurality of different data sources and place data related to a particular patient into a respective electronic patient data record having a plurality of electronically searchable data fields. [0009] Some embodiments are directed to systems for collecting and forming electronically searchable electronic patient data records. The systems include a Publisher Gateway in communication with a plurality of participating Subscribers via a Message Flow Server and an Administrative Server. The Publisher Gateway is configured to receive data from a plurality of Publisher specific sources and correlate the data into an electronically searchable record of related data. [0010] It is noted that embodiments and/or features described with respect to a particular type of implementation can be implemented in other ways, such as, for example, where embodiments are described as methods those features can be implemented as computer program products and/or devices or systems. These and other objects and/or aspects of the present invention are explained in detail in the specification set forth below.
