SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMPUTERIZED PATIENT ACCESS AND CARE MANAGEMENT

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for locating an on-call doctor, specific to a patient's needs, who is readily available for a live confidential patient consultation using a network enabled communication device with a digital camera and microphone. The system facilitates customized matching of patients with doctors to provide higher quality and faster delivery of medical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. The systems and methods transmit results through a secure connection and manage a referral process whereby a referring doctor refers a patient to another provider, laboratory, facility, or store for a particular procedure, order, analysis, or care. The referrals may be based on specialties and availability. The system relates particularly to the fields of medicine, where doctors can perform online consultations and provide a diagnosis, treatment recommendations, recommendations for further analysis, triage and/or provide follow up on-call care.
