Abstract
Networks are input with instructions from various types of healthcare subscribers, including identification of patients of these subscribers. Networks observe updates generated for the listed patients by healthcare providers, such as hospital encounters. The updates are numerous and update input can be rushed treatment facilities prone to error in information, so networks comprehensively filter the updates against all available instructions and identification to filter out all qualifying updates to be passed on to subscribers. Networks can format, transmit, and otherwise provide the updates based on anything commended by the client instructions. Networks may also share patient information itself with the update source to improve information association and correct client information at these sources.
