1. A method for providing patient-specific best medical practices recommendations for a population of patients suspected of having individual members with a risk for at least one preselected medical condition using a central system adapted to customize the recommendations for the individual members, wherein said method comprises the steps of:
- a) selecting a population of patients that is suspected of having a higher than normal risk for the preselected medical condition;
b) collecting personal patient information about the individual members that comprises factors that indicate risk of having or developing the preselected medical condition;
c) processing the personal patient information by the central system to provide a patient analysis outcome that reflects risk assessment of the preselected medical condition;
d) collecting patient management information about the individual members that comprises a medical history relevant to the preselected medical condition; and
e) processing the patient management information by the central system to provide a recommendations outcome that reflects best medical practices for future management of the individual members relative to the medical condition.

11. A system for providing patient-specific best medical practices recommendations for a population of patients suspected of having individual members with the risk for at least one preselected medical condition comprising a central system adapted to customize the recommendations for the individual members, or and said system comprises:
-
a) a CPU programmed to receive and analyze personal patient information that comprises factors that indicate risk of having or developing the preselected medical condition;
b) a first output device adapted to provide patient analysis outcome that reflects risk assessment of the preselected medical condition;
c) a CPU programmed to receive and analyze patient management information about the individual members that comprises a medical history relevant to the preselected medical condition; and
d) a second output device, wherein said second output device is the same or different than the first output device, adapted to provide recommendations outcome that reflects best medical practices for future management of the individual members relative to the medical condition. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
