Abstract: A method and system that automatically matches patients to clinical drug and device trials with: a database component operative to maintain a hospital/RHIO/medical practice patient database and their corresponding medical records, and a medical practice database and their corresponding plurality of specialties, and a clinical studies database component and their corresponding plurality of clinical studies a communications component to receive changes to the database component and a processor programmed to: periodically match compatible patients and clinical studies and generate reports to matched medical practices in the medical practice database having matched patients. The processor may be programmed to more efficiently function by selecting key rare criteria first in order to search free text keywords and phrases last.

Abstract: A system and method for enrolling patients in a medical study, includes: a database component operative to maintain a medical practice database component and their corresponding plurality of specialities and a clinical studies database component and their corresponding plurality of medical studies. The system further includes a communications component to alert the medical practices of the medical studies and observe changes to the database components. The system also includes a processor programmed to update the database components, periodically match compatible medical specialties with the medical studies, and generate reports of the matched medical practices in the medical practice database. The system also includes a fee database component which the processor uses to calculate a fee for conducting the study.
