Abstract
A centralized system that integrates the patient, physician, and payer in providing timely information through a direct communication channel while promoting health care practitioners'"'"' adherence to national guidelines in prevention and treatment of disease. This system provides real time feedback, quality assurance and goals to the patient and health care provider, among others (e.g., insurer, employer, etc.). Outside information, such as medical test results and fitness data, are easily incorporated into the health care repository, and the information collected on each patient allows for direct marketing of pharmaceuticals to the physicians and/or patients based on their needs, serves as a reminder and educational system for patients and health care providers, identifies patients for clinical trials, and incorporates relevant new information into the individual care of the patient.
