First Claim
1. A method for selecting over a network one or more tests for a medical condition for a patient, the method comprising:
- providing to the user over the network one or more tests for the patient that can be selected;
allowing the user to select over the network one or more tests;
determining whether a constraint exists on ordering any of the selected tests;

Abstract
A method is provided for ordering over a network one or more tests for a medical condition for a patient, the method including the steps of providing to the user over the network one or more tests for the patient that can be selected, allowing a user to select over the network one or more tests, determining whether a constraint exists on ordering any of the selected tests; ordering the selected tests over the network, obtaining a result of each of the ordered tests, and providing an automated evaluation based upon feedback resulting from the ordered tests. Using the methods and systems described, a user, such as a physician, can easily obtain information over a network about a large number of tests and order any of the tests over the network. The server can also obtain payment and related information from the user at the time the one or more tests are ordered.

21. A method for selecting over a network one or more tests for a condition for a patient, the method comprising the steps of:
-
allowing a user to select over the network a first test for the patient;
determining whether a constraint exists on ordering the selected first test;
recommending to the user over the network one or more secondary tests if a constraint exists to obtain the selected first test;
allowing the user to select over the network one of the secondary tests;
ordering the selected secondary test over the network; and
obtaining a result of the selected secondary test. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)

25. A system for providing medical healthcare services, comprising:
a computer readable medium having computer readable program code for ordering over a network one or more tests for a condition, the computer readable program code executable on a computer system and including instructions for;
causing the computer system to allow a user to select over the network one or more of the tests, causing the computer system to determine whether a constraint exists on ordering any of the selected tests, causing the computer system to order the selected tests over the network, causing the computer system to obtain a result of each of the selected tests, and causing the computer system to provide an evaluation based upon feedback resulting from the ordered tests. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A server for providing medical healthcare services, the server comprising:
a computer including a processor and computer readable program code executable on the processor for ordering over a network one or more tests for a condition, the computer readable program code configured to;
allow a user to select over the network one or more of the tests, determine whether a constraint exists on ordering any of the selected tests, order over the network the selected tests, obtain a result of each of the selected tests, and provide an evaluation based upon feedback from the ordered tests. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)

44. A method for selecting over a network one or more procedures for a medical condition for a patient, the method comprising:
-
providing to the user over the network one or more procedures for the patient that can be selected;
allowing the user to select over the network one or more procedures;
determining whether a constraint exists on ordering any of the selected procedures;
ordering the selected procedures over the network;
obtaining a result of each of the ordered procedures; and
providing an automated evaluation based upon feedback resulting from the ordered procedures. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46, 47, 48)
