Abstract

Systems and methods are provided including a system for managing patient data. The system includes a computing system including a processing unit and a storage. The processing unit executes one or more programs for managing patient data. Managing patient data includes enrolling patients in a centralized care network including presenting each patient with an electronic enrollment interface, assigning each patient a patient identifier, and receiving an electronic consent to collect data. Managing patient data further includes providing patient data to the centralized care network including patient data relating to disease progression, clinical trials and treatments rendered.

Claims

1. A system for managing patient data comprising:

a computing system including a processing unit and a storage, the processing unit executing one or more programs for managing patient data, where managing patient data includes

enrolling patients in a centralized care network including presenting each patient with an electronic enrollment interface, assigning each patient a patient identifier, and receiving an electronic consent to collect data; and

providing patient data to the centralized care network including patient data relating to disease progression, clinical trials and treatments rendered.

2. The system of claim 1 where the centralized care network is coupled to a plurality of affiliate computing systems, each affiliate computing system presenting the electronic enrollment interface to a respective patient that is to be enrolled from the affiliate computing system.

3. The system of claim 2 where providing patient data includes providing patient data from the affiliate computing system.

4. The system of claim 1 where providing patient data includes providing clinical trial information including information related to clinical trials a patient has entered, a treatment protocol for the respective clinical trial, and clinical assessment data related to progress of the patient in the respective clinical trial.

5. The system of claim 1 where program for managing patient data includes a user interface for facilitating enrollment of patients at a remote facility and supplemental information provisioning from the remote facility.

6. The system of claim 1 where the program for managing patient data includes providing a user interface for presenting treatment information including one or more treatment recommendations, patient profiles or disease profiles to a patient or a patient care giver, the treatment information having been provided by the centralized care network.

7. A computer network comprising:

a plurality of affiliate computing systems, each affiliate computing system including a processing unit and storage, the processing unit executing one or more programs for supporting care of a patient, where supporting includes

enrolling patients in a centralized network including presenting an interface to the patient for receiving patient data;

managing patient data including providing an interface to a care giver for providing additional patient data relating to one or more of disease progression, clinical trials or treatments rendered;

providing patient data to the centralized network; and

the centralized network including a central computing system, the central computing system being coupled to each affiliate computing system by way of a network, the central computing system including a processing unit and storage, the processing unit executing one or more programs for managing patient records stored in the storage, where managing patient records includes

presenting an interface to an affiliate computing system for presenting one or more treatment recommendations, patient profiles or disease profiles.

8. A computer network comprising:

a plurality of affiliate computing systems, each affiliate computing system including a processing unit and storage, the processing unit executing one or more programs for supporting care of a patient, where supporting includes

enrolling patients in a centralized care network including assigning each patient a patient identifier, and receiving consent to collect data; and

providing patient data to the centralized care network including patient data relating to one or more of disease progression, clinical trials or treatments rendered; and

the centralized care network including a central health care computing system, the central health care computing system being coupled to each affiliate computing system by way of a network, the central health care computing system including a processing unit and storage, the processing unit executing one or more programs for managing patient records stored in the storage, where managing patient records includes

receiving patient data from an affiliate computing system including new data for new patients and updated patient data reflecting new or changing data with respect to an already registered patient;

receiving developed treatment protocols based on longitudinal data derived from the patient data, where the longitudinal data relates to treatments and outcomes; and

distributing developed treatment protocols to one or more of the affiliate computing systems for use in treating future patients serviced by a treatment center associated with a given affiliate computing system.
