Abstract

A method and system of associating globally and nationally recognized health and healthcare classification systems with their respective common terms, to create user-friendly classification systems. Users can suggest common terms to be added to the classification system codes. A method of storing and retrieving healthcare information including storing healthcare information for a plurality of members in a database; associating one or more classification system codes and one or more profiles with the stored healthcare information; and retrieving the stored healthcare information from the database in response to pre-defined and/or user-defined search input.

Claims

1. A method of collecting, associating, storing, searching, and retrieving healthcare information, the method comprising:

providing a database and a processor;

collecting, associating, storing, searching and retrieving via said processor, healthcare information on said database, wherein said healthcare information includes one or more classification system codes and one or more member profiles identifying a member submitting healthcare information;

correlating, via said processor, one or more commonly used medical terms with one or more medical classification system codes, wherein the correlation between the common condition terms and the one or more classification system codes allows said healthcare information collected from one or member profiles to be retrieved; and

retrieving, via said processor, said stored healthcare information from said database in response to user-defined inputs that include the one or more commonly used medical condition terms.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more common medical condition terms are associated with other common medical condition terms, formal terms, and one or more profiles with said stored healthcare information.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the collected and stored healthcare information includes information relating to one or more of diseases, conditions, symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, treatments, functional measurements, and external causes of injuries and/or diseases.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the members inputs the stored healthcare information via a profile specific questionnaire.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the profiles include one or more of consumers, providers, insurers, policy and regulatory, products and devices, services and solutions, advocacy and philanthropy, research, education, and employment.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the classification system codes include global and national medical classifications such as World Health Organization system codes and any adaptations thereof.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the classification system codes are globally and/or nationally recognized classification systems related to health and healthcare concatenated with their common terms

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the classification system codes are updated based on the latest version of the globally and/or nationally recognized system codes they are based on.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein common terms can be suggested by users to the classification system codes and the classification system codes are updated upon administrative approval in a database.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the search results are generated in response to a user-defined input.

12. The method of claim 1, further comprising directing the user to one or more member web sites.

13. The method of claim 1, further comprising facilitating communications between users and members.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the classification system codes are Healith™

classification codes, as well as globally and/or nationally recognized systems

11. The method of claim, wherein the user-defined input includes one or more of classification system codes, profiles, keywords, and area codes.

15. A system for collecting, associating, storing, searching, and retrieving healthcare information, comprising:

a database storing healthcare information, wherein healthcare information includes one or more classification system codes and one or more member profiles identifying a member submitting healthcare information;

at least one processor;

software executing on the processor configured to control access of said healthcare information;

said software is configured to correlate one or more common condition terms with one or more classification system codes, wherein the correlation between the common condition terms and the one or more classification system codes allows said healthcare information collected from one or member profiles to be retrieved; and

said software is configured to retrieve the stored healthcare information from the database in response to user-defined inputs that include the one or more common condition terms.

16. A method of collecting, storing, searching, and retrieving healthcare information, comprising:

providing a database and a processor;

collecting and storing, via said processor, healthcare information on said database, wherein said healthcare information includes one or more classification system codes;

correlating, via said processor, one or more common condition terms with one or more classification system codes, wherein the correlation between the common condition terms and the one or more classification system codes allows said healthcare information to be retrieved from said database; and

retrieving, via said processor, said stored healthcare information from said database in response to user-defined inputs that include the one or more common condition terms.
