Abstract

Health care management and patient education systems and methods configured to register a medical practice account, add patients to the account, create patient-accessible accounts, add medical and lecture providers to the account, create patient education seminars, invite patients to seminars, create patient report cards, and reporting patient report cards to a patient outcome incentive-based program.

Claims

1. A health care management and patient education system configured to:

register an authorized medical practice account at the request of a medical practice;

add patients having a predetermined condition to a registered medical practice account;

create patient-accessible accounts for managing personal information and viewing health records stored in the registered medical practice account;

add medical and lecture providers to the registered medical practice account;

create a patient education seminar;

invite patients to attend the seminar based on patient health data;

create patient report cards to determine the understanding of the patients attending the seminar; and

reporting patient report cards to a patient outcome incentive-based program.

2. A system according to claim 1, wherein the system is a subscription-based system further configured to calculate a registered medical practice account subscription fee based on a number of providers in the medical practice.

3. A system according to claim 1, wherein the system is a subscription-based system further configured to bill a registered medical practice account based on the number of patient report cards created during a predetermined period.

4. A system according to claim 1, wherein the system is a web-based accessible computer program product.

5. A system according to claim 1, wherein the system is further configured to a classify providers into medical providers and lecture providers based on medical graduate degree and national provider identification number.

6. A system according to claim 1, wherein the incentive-based program is the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative undertaken by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

7. A system according to claim 1, wherein the system includes a user module for storing registered medical practice account data, an administration module associated with the user module for system administration, a credit card module associated with the user module for storing billing information, and a user transaction module associated with the user module for storing account transactions.

8. A system according to claim 1, wherein the system includes an education module including a patient module for storing patient data including participation/non-participation, a user module for storing registered medical practice account data;

a provider module associated with the user module for storing provider data;

a seminar module associated with the provider module for creating the seminars; and

a report card module associated with the patient module for creating the report cards.

9. A system according to claim 8, wherein the system is further configured to compare report card data to patient baseline data to determine patient outcome.

10. A system according to claim 1, wherein the system includes a reporting module including a patient module for storing patient data;

a reports module associated with the patient module for creating reports; and

a user module associated with the patient and reports module for storing registered medical practice account data.

11. A system for managing health care and patient education, comprising:

a user module configured to register an authorized medical practice account at the request of a medical practice, add patients having a predetermined condition to a registered medical practice account, create patient-accessible accounts for managing personal information and viewing health records stored in the registered medical practice account, and add medical and lecture providers to the registered medical practice account;

an education module configured to create patient education seminars, invite patients to attend seminars based on patient health data, and create patient report cards to determine the understanding of the patients attending the seminar; and

a reporting module for reporting patient report cards to a patient outcome incentive-based program.

12. A method for providing health care management and patient education, comprising the step of:

providing a web-based computer program product configured for creating a medical practice account at the request of a medical practice, adding patients to the medical practice account, creating patient-accessible accounts for managing personal information and viewing health records, adding medical and lecture providers to the medical practice account, creating patient education seminars, inviting patients to attend seminars, creating patient report cards on seminar understanding, and reporting patient report cards to a patient outcome incentive-based program.

13. A method according to claim 12, wherein registration with the computer based product is subscription-based on the number of providers in the medical practice.

14. A method according to claim 12, wherein the computer program product is further configured to bill a medical practice account based on the number of patient report cards created during a predetermined period.

15. A method according to claim 12, wherein the computer program product is further configured to classify providers into medical providers and lecture providers based on medical graduate degree and national provider identification number.

16. A method according to claim 12, wherein the incentive-based program is the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative undertaken by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

17. A method according to claim 12, wherein the computer program product includes a user module for storing registered medical practice account data, an administration module associated with the user module for system administration, a credit card module associated with the user module for storing billing information, and a user transaction module associated with the user module for storing account transactions.

18. A method according to claim 12, wherein the computer program product includes an education module including a patient module for storing patient data, a user module for storing registered medical practice account data;

a provider module associated with the user module for storing provider data;

a seminar module associated with the provider module for creating the seminars; and

a report card module associated with the patient module for creating the report cards.

19. A method according to claim 18, wherein the computer program product is further configured to compare report card data to patient baseline data to determine patient outcome.

20. A method according to claim 12, wherein the computer program product includes a reporting module including a patient module for storing patient data;

a reports module associated with the patient module for creating reports; and

a user module associated with the patient and reports module for storing registered medical practice account data.
