Method, apparatus, and system for aggregating, targeting, and synchronizing health information delivery
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a request from a requester containing data relating to a healthcare event associated with a patient;
processing the request at one or more processing nodes connected via a computer network to obtain information from one or more databases associated with the one or more processing nodes, based upon the data contained in the request; and
generating a response to the request based upon the information obtained from the one or more databases associated with the one or more processing nodes.

Abstract
According to one aspect of the present invention, a method is provided in which a request is submitted to a first node in a network containing multiple nodes, the request containing data relating to a healthcare event associated with a patient. The request is processed at the first node to obtain information from one or more databases associated with the first node, based upon the data contained in the request. The request is also processed at one or more additional nodes in the network to obtain information from one or more additional databases associated with the one or more additional nodes, based upon the data contained in the request. A response to the request is generated based upon an aggregation of information obtained from the first node and the one or more additional nodes.

39. A system comprising:
-
a first processing node to process requests originated by a first requester to generate a first response for each request based on information obtained from one or more databases associated with the first processing node; and
a second processing node connected to the first processing node, the second processing node to process each request forwarded from the first processing node to generate a second response for each request based on information obtained from one or more databases associated with the second node and to send the second response back to the first processing node, wherein the first processing node, upon receiving the second response from the second processing node, aggregates the first response and the second response to generate an aggregated response for each respective request.
