Abstract

A system and method of remotely addressing medical requests is disclosed. Such a method includes receiving a medical request from a user at a processor, determining at least one health care provider that is appropriate for receiving the medical request from the user using the processor, and sending a notification to at least one mobile device of the at least one health care provider comprising a graphical user interface regarding the medical request. The method also includes receiving an access request from the at least one mobile device and sending data from the processor to the at least one mobile device, wherein the data comprises at least a portion of the medical request and at least a portion of a medical record.

Claims

1. A method of remotely addressing medical requests comprising:

receiving a medical request from a user at a processor;

determining at least one health care provider that is appropriate for receiving the medical request from the user using the processor;

sending a notification to at least one mobile device of the at least one health care provider comprising a graphical user interface regarding the medical request;

receiving an access request from the at least one mobile device; and

sending data from the processor to the at least one mobile device, wherein the data comprises at least a portion of the medical request and at least a portion of a medical record.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying at least a portion of the data via the graphical user interface.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising after sending the data, receiving medical advice from the at least one health care provider.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising sending the medical advice to one or more databases that store the medical record.

5. The method of claim 3, further comprising sending at least a portion of the medical advice to a pharmacy.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of receiving the medical request from the user comprises receiving a phone call.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining the at least one health care provider is appropriate comprises determining the identity of the user.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the data further comprises information regarding the user.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of sending the notification to the at least one mobile device comprises sending an e-mail or sending a text message.

10. A method of remotely addressing medical requests comprising:

sending a notification to at least one mobile device of at least one health care provider comprising a graphical user interface regarding a medical request;

displaying the notification via the graphical user interface;

receiving an access request from the at least one mobile device at the processor;

sending data from the processor to the at least one mobile device, wherein the data comprises at least a portion of the medical request and at least a portion of a medical record; and

displaying the data via the graphical user interface.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising receiving medical advice from the at least one health care provider at the processor.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising sending the medical advice from the processor to one or more databases that store the medical record.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the medical advice comprises a prescription.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising sending the prescription to a pharmacy.

15. The method of claim 10, wherein the step of sending the notification comprises sending an e-mail or sending a text message.

16. The method of claim 10, wherein the medical request is a voice message.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising transcribing the medical request.

18. A system for remotely addressing medical requests comprising:

a processor, and

a memory device electrically coupled to the processor, the memory device having stored therein a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;

(a) send a notification to at least one mobile device of at least one health care provider comprising a graphical user interface regarding a medical request received from a user, wherein the processor determined that the at least one health care provider was appropriate for receiving the medical request; and

(b) after the processor receives an access request from the at least one mobile device, send data from the processor to the at least one mobile device, wherein the data comprises at least a portion of the medical request and at least a portion of a medical record.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein when the plurality of instructions are executed the processor is further caused to display at least a portion of the data via the graphical user interface.

20. They system of claim 18, wherein when the plurality of instructions are executed the processor is further caused to send the medical advice to one or more databases that store the medical record.

21. A method for remotely addressing medical requests, the method comprising:

notifying a user, via an integrated application of a portable electronic device, to view a medical request;

receiving input from the user requesting the medical request;

providing the user with data comprising at least a portion of the medical request and at least a portion of a medical record associated with the medical request through the integrated application; and

providing the user with at least one response opportunity associated with the medical request through the integrated application.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein the step of providing the user with data comprises initiating a request to retrieve the at least a portion of the medical record.
