First Claim
1. 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 includesenrolling 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 includesreceiving 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;
tracking patients over time to develop longitudinal data relating to treatments and outcomes;
developing treatment protocols based on the longitudinal data for treating future patients enrolled in the centralized care network; 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.
