Abstract
A method for gathering, organizing, and assessing patient information, then providing feedback to the patient and authorized caregivers. The patient provides health status and medication information to a processing center via an electronic communication network. The data may be encrypted before transmission for further protection. The patient'"'"'s information is collected, organized, and stored in a data warehouse. Once collected, the patient information can be analyzed by a drug therapy analysis engine which reviews the patient'"'"'s medications and health status in accordance with previously established medical practices and standards to determine whether the patient is receiving the optimum types and dosages of medication. Further, the drug therapy analysis engine can check for potential adverse side effects or drug interactions, given that patient'"'"'s medical history and particular drug regimen. Security methods may be employed to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing or tampering with the data.
