System and method for collection, distribution, and use of information in connection with health care delivery
First Claim
1. A method of delivering health care services in a networked environment, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a health care treatment request having at least one parameter from a user to a hosted environment;
transmitting said health care request from said hosted environment to at least one health care provider, and at least one of said health care provider and said hosted environment generating with the networked environment health care diagnostic, treatment and/or management instructions in accordance with said at least one parameter;
providing at least one of said health care provider and said user with said health care diagnosis, treatment and/or management instructions; and
remotely treating a patient in accordance with a standardized level of care.

Abstract
A health care system includes a hosted environment (4, 6) that provides health care treatment, diagnosis, and/or management. Health care providers (2a-2g) are linked to one another and to a central network, which is linked to patient (3a, 3b) via the hosted environment. The patient (3a, 3b) interfaces with the hosted environment (4, 6), which provides the global access to the health care provider (2a-2g). The patient may also have medical devices (7) that facilitate collection of vital sign data (e.g., digital thermometer) and administration of treatment (e.g., medicine dispensary). The health care provider (2a-2g) can license the hosted environment (4, 6) to generate the treatment tree and perform the treatment. Thus, treatment is performed remotely based on globally standardized protocols. Additionally, a virtual clinical research organization (CRO) is provided, such that treating physicians and patients can participate in clinical trials and have access to new medical treatments.

43. A system that provides health care diagnosis, treatment and/or management to a patient, comprising:
-
a request, generated by an user, received by an application service provider (ASP), said user request comprising a plurality of parameters;
an output to a health care network from said ASP, said health care network including at least one health care provider, that generates a health care diagnostic, treatment and/or management instruction transmission to said ASP; and
a treatment instruction output from said ASP to said user, wherein said health care diagnosis, treatment and/or management is performed remotely from said health care provider in accordance with at least one of said health care diagnostic, treatment and/or management instruction and feedback from said user. - View Dependent Claims (44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60)
