Abstract
A medical, educational, and home healthcare materials distribution system for enabling medical subscribers to provide the best available diagnosis-related products to clients. A patient/user enters the system by presenting to a medical subscriber, either in person or by other means, to receive a medically-informed recommendation. The recommendation may be an oral communication, order form, or a special prescription pad. The medical subscriber may make suggestions to the patient/user as to appropriate educational materials and medical products or may rely entirely on the distribution center of the system to correlate the patient'"'"'s diagnosis to preselected educational materials and home medical assessment or monitoring products. The patient may personally place orders through the system or have them ordered by the medical office. The distribution center ships the materials to the patient by mail and sends documentation of the transaction to the patient'"'"'s physician'"'"'s office.
