1. A cloud-based system for transferring historical, time-correlated operation data from a heart pump control database to an electronic medical records (EMR) database, the cloud-based system comprising:
an EMR database that is accessible according to patient identifiers and that stores medical information about a plurality of patients;
a network interface configured to communicate via a wide-area computer network;
a heart pump control database that is accessible through the network interface via the wide-area computer network, wherein the heart pump control database stores historical, time-correlated operation data about a plurality of implanted heart pumps, and wherein the historical, time-correlated operation data comprises a plurality of data types for each implanted heart pump; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the EMR database and the network interface, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
provide a first user interface to a display screen for display, wherein the first user interface comprises a first prompt for a locally-entered identifier comprising at least one of (a) an identifier of a patient having an implanted heart pump or (b) an identifier of the implanted heart pump;
provide a second user interface to the display screen for display, wherein the second user interface comprises a second prompt for a time and an identification of at least one data type of the plurality of data types, and wherein the time and the at least one identified data type are associated with the locally-entered identifier;
send, in response to receipt of the locally-entered identifier, the time, and the at least one identified data type via the network interface, the locally-entered identifier, the time, the at least one identified data type, and a request for data corresponding thereto to the heart pump control database;
receive, in response to the request for the corresponding data, via the network interface, from the heart pump control database, the corresponding data;
provide the corresponding data to the display screen for display;
provide a third user interface to the display screen for display, wherein the third user interface comprises a third prompt for a selection of a portion of the corresponding data displayed on the display screen; and
automatically store, as structured data in the EMR database, in association with a patient identifier, the selected portion of the corresponding data.
