Abstract

A system and method for administering a prescription and treatment regimen for a patient utilizes a computer including a processor, a memory, a display, a network interface, and a user interface. After inputting a diagnosis, patient data and peripheral data are accessed. Based on this data, the treatment regimen is identified and displayed for the diagnosis based on the patient data and the peripheral data. The treatment is varied depending on the patient data and the peripheral data.

Claims

1. A method of administering a prescription and treatment regimen for a patient using a computer including a processor, a memory, a display, a network interface, and a user interface, the method comprising:

(a) inputting a diagnosis with the user interface;

(b) the processor accessing patient data either stored in the memory or stored remotely and accessible by the network interface;

(c) the processor accessing peripheral data relating to the diagnosis; and

(d) the processor identifying and displaying the treatment regimen for the diagnosis based on the patient data and the peripheral data by accessing a database either stored in the memory or stored remotely and accessible by the network interface, wherein the treatment is varied depending on the patient data and the peripheral data.

2. A method according to claim 1, wherein step (d) is practiced by organizing the treatment regimen into initial therapy, alternative therapy and ancillary therapy.

3. A method according to claim 1, wherein step (c) is practiced by accessing peripheral data including at least one of FDA guidelines, medical literature, physician experience, local trends and community data.

4. A method according to claim 1, wherein step (b) is practiced by accessing patient data including at least one of allergies, age, medical history, location of problem, race, distance from clinic, travel capabilities, family history, symptoms, vital signs, disease progression, and patient prior response to treatment.

5. A method according to claim 1, wherein step (d) is practiced by identifying and displaying the treatment regimen including the prescription and complementary procedures or actions to be performed by the patient.

6. A method according to claim 5, wherein step (d) is further practiced by displaying an educational video or identifying a link to the educational video.

7. A method according to claim 1, wherein step (d) is practiced by identifying and displaying phases of the treatment regimen including a first line phase, a second line phase, and a third line phase,

wherein the first line phase presents the treatment regimen based on cost and availability of the treatment to the patient, evidence based medical preferences, and low treatment risks,

wherein the second line phase presents the treatment regimen based on the patient data combined with patient response to the first line phase treatment if the first line phase treatment was ineffective, and

wherein the third line phase presents the treatment regimen based on the patient data combined with the patient response to the second line phase treatment if the second line phase treatment was ineffective, and higher risk and experimental treatments.

8. A method according to claim 1, wherein the peripheral data comprises a need for a referral to another provider, and wherein step (d) is practiced by identifying and displaying the treatment regimen including the referral to another provider.

9. A method according to claim 1, wherein step (d) is practiced by identifying and displaying a favorites treatment regimen specific to a user practitioner.

10. A method according to claim 1, wherein step (d) is practiced by dividing the display into three sections including a My Favorites section, a Branded Products section, and a System Average Treatments section,

wherein the My Favorites section lists commonly used treatment regimens for treating the diagnosis, the Branded Products sections lists one of branded products, available services, and paid advertisements, and the System Average Treatments section includes an average use of the treatment regimen for the diagnosis.

11. A method according to claim 10, further comprising enabling a user practitioner to move treatment regimens and components of treatment regimens into and out of the My Favorites section.

12. A method according to claim 10, further comprising, with the network interface, enabling a user practitioner to access a library of prescriptions, vitamins, herbs and procedures relevant to the diagnosis.

13. A method according to claim 1, wherein the treatment regimen comprises a prescription, the method further comprising (e) the processor sending the prescription to a clearing house pharmacy.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer instructions that, when executed by computer, cause the computer to perform a method of administering a prescription and treatment regimen for a patient, the computer including a processor, a memory, a display, a network interface, and a user interface, the method comprising:

(a) inputting a diagnosis with the user interface;

(b) the processor accessing patient data either stored in the memory or stored remotely and accessible by the network interface;

(c) the processor accessing peripheral data relating to the diagnosis; and

(d) the processor identifying and displaying a treatment regimen for the diagnosis based on the patient data and the peripheral data by accessing a database either stored in the memory or stored remotely and accessible by the network interface, wherein the treatment is varied depending on the patient data and the peripheral data.

15. A system for administering a prescription and treatment regimen for a patient, the system comprising:

a computer including a processor, a memory, a display, a network interface, and a user interface, wherein the user interface is accessed to input a diagnosis;

a first database storing patient data, the processor being programmed to access the patient data through the memory or remotely by the network interface; and

a second database storing peripheral data relating to the diagnosis, the processor being programmed to access the peripheral data,

wherein the processor is programmed to identify and display the treatment regimen for the diagnosis based on the patient data and the peripheral data by accessing a third database either stored in the memory or stored remotely and accessible by the network interface, wherein the treatment is varied depending on the patient data and the peripheral data.
