First Claim
1. A method for providing information regarding renewal requests for prescriptions, comprising:
- at a server system comprising one or more processors and memory;
storing a plurality of renewal requests associated with a prescriber, each indicating that an existing prescription for a patient will expire unless the prescriber renews the prescription, and requesting that the prescriber renew the prescription, wherein the plurality of renewal requests include renewal requests for prescriptions of a plurality of patients;
receiving a request for renewal requests associated with the prescriber from a client computer remote from the server;
identifying, in a renewal database at least a subset of the renewal requests associated with the prescriber, wherein the subset includes at least two renewal requests associated with the prescriber;
determining, by a processor, whether the prescriber has responded to the respective renewal requests in the subset;
assigning a status to each of the renewal requests in the subset based on said determining;
generating a report containing;
representations of each of the renewal requests in the subset; and
status indicators depicting the status of each of the renewal requests in the subset; and
transmitting the report to the client computer, wherein the report includes representations of renewal requests from two or more different patients.

Abstract
A method for providing prescription renewal request information via an electronic network. Upon receiving a request from a client for renewal request information for a particular prescriber, a report is generated containing the requested renewal request information and transmitted to the client. The transmitted report allows the client to easily review renewal request information and helps the client to manage appointments with patients whom the prescriber wishes to see. Depending on the client request, the transmitted report may be an “active renewals” page containing renewal request information regarding renewal requests that the prescriber has not reviewed, an “archived renewals” page containing renewed request information regarding renewal requests that the prescriber has reviewed, an “appointment” page containing renewal request information regarding patients with whom the prescriber wishes to make an appointment, or a “prescription detail” page containing detailed renewal request information regarding a particular renewal request.
