Systems and Methods for Modeling Healthcare Costs, Predicting Same, and Targeting Improved Healthcare Quality and Profitability
First Claim
1. A computer-readable memory storing computer-executable instructions for storing and accessing a patient'"'"'s personal medical record on a computer network, the memory comprising:
- computer-executable instructions for storing a dataset comprising a personal medical record of a patient created by a medical provider on said patient'"'"'s authorization, said personal medical record being controlled by said patient;
computer-executable instructions for identifying a user trying to access said personal medical record as said patient;
computer-executable instructions for allowing said patient to review, add to and modify said personal medical record after access to said personal medical record is granted to said patient via a network;
computer-executable instructions for allowing an interested party to request access to said personal medical record from said patient;
computer-executable instructions for allowing said patient to accept said request for access to said personal medical record, wherein if said request is accepted, then said interested party can access, add to, and modify said personal medical record;
computer-executable instructions for allowing said patient to revoke access to said interested party after said request has been accepted, wherein if said access is revoked, then said interested party can no longer access, add to, and modify said patient'"'"'s personal medical record.

Abstract
A comprehensive healthcare analytic and predicative modeling system that tracks costs for patients on a long term basis (greater than 6 months, one-year, or more) to assess the long-term effectiveness of various treatment options. Based upon the evaluation of the long-term effectiveness of various treatment options, the system then delivers a predictive model, which is based on data extracted and aggregated from dissimilar databases, that analyzes up-to-date economic and clinical outcomes, and then, using this data, can estimate long-term future treatment results from an economic and clinical perspective. Also disclosed herein is a personal electronic medical record on a computer network created by a medical provider on the authorization of the patient and controlled by the patient. Lastly, disclosed herein is a computer system for the consolidation of medical and financial data from disparate databases into a unitary data format.

9. A computer system for the consolidation of medical and financial data, said computer system comprising:
-
a medical database accessed by a first computer; a financial database accessed by a second computer; a third computer connected to said first computer and said second computer by a network; a data warehouse accessed by said third computer; a data set stored in said medical database, said data set comprising medical data; and a data set stored in said financial database, said data set comprising financial data; wherein said third computer requests said medical data set from said first computer over said network and said financial data set from said second computer over said network; wherein said first computer retrieves said medical data set from said medical database and said second computer retrieves said financial data set from said financial database; wherein said first computer and said second computer transmits said medical data set and said financial data set to said third computer; wherein said third computer receives said medical data set and said financial data set; wherein said third computer automatically transforms said requested data sets into a unitary data format and said second computer automatically associates data contained in said requested data sets with a classification corresponding to a specific medical procedure to create a final data set; wherein said third computer stores said final data set in said data warehouse; and wherein said final data set is retrievable by said classification. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

14. A computer-readable memory storing computer-executable instructions for an analytical and predictive modeling system on a computer network, the memory comprising:
-
computer-executable instructions for capturing data sets from a plurality of databases; computer-executable instructions for transforming said captured data sets into a unitary data format, said unitary data format associating said captured data sets with a classification corresponding to a specific medical procedure; computer-executable instructions for collecting multiple data sets associated with classifications corresponding to a service line into an amalgamated data set; computer-executable instructions for analyzing said single data set to produce a predictive model for average and best practices for said service line; computer-executable instructions for receiving an individual provider'"'"'s input variables in said unitary format for said service line; and computer-executable instructions for comparing said predictive model to said individual provider'"'"'s input variables to produce a decision tree for said service line for said individual provider.
