Bradley P. Tice - Franklin TN, US

International Classification:

G06Q 50/00

US Classification:

705 3, 705 2

Abstract:

A method for improving quality assurance methods for medication therapy management using a computer particularly adapted for a health care management or delivery organization is provided, the method including at least the steps of: providing a set of internal controls, wherein the internal controls further include a set of national guidelines and standards, as well as a qualified staff; and development by the qualified staff of a clinical rule based upon the national guidelines and standards. In other embodiments, a clinical quality assurance team further reviews the clinical rule developed by the staff. In further embodiments, a set of external controls is provided, wherein the external controls include one or more of a plurality of approved pharmacists, an external clinical advisory council, and/or an independent review board. In still further embodiments, one or more members of the set of external controls either validates the clinical rule developed by the staff, or validates a staff-developed clinical rule that was subsequently reviewed by the quality assurance team.

International Classification:

G06Q 50/00

US Classification:

705 3, 705 2

Abstract:

A method for population and patient-specific medication therapy review using a computer particularly adapted for a medication therapy management or health care delivery organization is provided, wherein the method includes at least the steps of: collecting patient claims data; reviewing the patient claims data for accuracy and data integrity; identifying particular characteristics sought within the patient claims data; organizing and structuring the patient claims data; establishing a set of clinical rules; transforming the set of clinical rules established into a computer language, and entering the transformed clinical rules into an electronic database; and analyzing the patient claims data by applying the clinical rules using a computer particularly adapted for a medication therapy management or health care delivery organization, thereby producing an analytical result. In further embodiments, the analytic results are used to evaluate the need for patient-level medication therapy review and, optionally, to actually conduct a patient-level medication therapy review based on the review of the analytic results.

International Classification:

G06Q 50/00
G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 3

Abstract:

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for examining an object, particularly in terms of the surface morphology thereof. Said apparatus comprises a transportable housing which can be placed, especially by hand, above the surface segment of the object that is to be examined, and at least three light sources, the optical beam axes of which extend at a slanted angle of incidence relative to the surface segment that is to be examined. The light sources are disposed inside the housing and can illuminate the surface segment that is to be examined through an illumination aperture in the housing. The apparatus further comprises at least one light sensor for detecting the light reflected on the surface segment that is to be examined and a control and evaluation unit which is connected to the light sources and the light sensor. The light sources are arranged such that the optical beam axes thereof extend on different, non-parallel reference planes.
