Abstract
An automated system for use by pharmacies, clinics or health care institutions which provides health information that comprises disease state information, the system having:
- a) a clinic computer having access to medical information containing a medication profile for the patient, and
- b) a remote computer having access to a drug-disease database
The disease state information being determined by a process where the clinic computer analyzes the medication information, creating a data packet comprising drug products being used, associating a unique identification number (UIDN) to the patient and data packet, and transmitting the UIDN and data packet to the remote computer. The remote computer then cross-referencing the drug products contained within said data packet with individual disease states and identifying disease state information that is relevant to be provided to a patient.

18. An automated system for providing health information to patients from one or more clinic computer systems or a component storing patient medical information, regardless of its operating system or software configuration, and without requirement by the system to encrypt data, comprising a clinic, physician, hospital or other computer system (generically referred to as a “
- clinic computer”
) configured to;(a) store patient data, health information, health history and/or any archives of an individuals health record; and
/or(b) contain one or more event sequence identification data field(s) and/or diagnosis data field(s); and
/or(c) allow association of one or more unique identification numbers (UIDN) with a patient record; and
/or(d) allow the event sequence identification data field and/or diagnosis data field to be associated with one or more generated unique identification numbers (UIDN); and
/or(e) generate transactional data that associates selected patient record data fields, event sequence data field and/or diagnosis data field with the UIDN; and
/or(f) allow transfer of said transactional data over a local area network, wide area network or Internet or other coupling to one or more third party and/or remote computers or component containing libraries or databases of health information and/or third party payer health plan information; and
/or(g) allow the clinic computer to receive patient health information and associated UIDN that is transmitted from the third party and/or remote computer(s), or component; and
/or(h) store part or all of the health information and any other associated data transmitted from the third party and/or remote computer;
or component; and
/or(i) re-associate the health information transmitted from the third party and/or remote computer system or component with the UIDN associated with the stored patient record; and
/or(j) print the health information received from the third party and/or remote computer system or component; and
/or(k) email, text message or otherwise make available either directly or through another computer the health information received from the third party and/or remote computer system or component; and
/or(l) print or stamp the patients name or assigned clinic number on the third party or remote or component health information so that clinicians may match it with any information provided by the clinic computer; and
/or(m) store a list of patients categorized by disease state and merge this list with a print or email newsletter related to the disease state; - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
