Abstract:
A system and method are provided that enable doctors and nurses to easily establish patient protocols and to track and manage patient compliance with those protocols and to track medications with patient outcome to determine the best medications and treatments for various diseases. Protocol builder software permits the doctor or nurse to build a customized patient protocol on a timeline including one-time events (e.g., survey) tied to an anchor date (e.g., surgery) and periodic events (e.g., taking of medication). The patient is prompted to respond to the protocols using elected communications methods, and patient compliance with the protocol is stored in a database with the protocol. The physician may adjust the protocol to reflect the physician's preferences. The captured data is stored in a database and searched to enable the physician to compare how the proposed protocols have worked for other patients with similar conditions, to predict disease (symptoms, side effects) and to adjust the patient's protocol as appropriate.
