Abstract: Electronic capture of adverse event information includes selective input of adverse event information into a machine in response to prompt provided to the user based on a site visit. Such adverse event information is forwardable to a location over a communication link. The machine produces one or more alerts, if adverse event information has been input, after a prescribed period of time has transpired unless the machine is informed that the same information has already been forwarded to the location. In a preferred embodiment, the customer is a clinician. Optionally, received adverse event information can be parsed to audit whether any of the information, in fact, concerns an adverse event. Systems and software concerning related technological improvements are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for realigning a database server and a client database is provided. During realignment at least one table of the database server is copied to a workspace, and a set of records copied to the workspace is identified that are associated with the client. The set of records associated with the client are modified and can include a subset of records newly associated with the client. An association-rule is created that defines the modified set of records as accessible by the client and includes an effective time. The association-rule and the newly associated records are distributed to the client, preferably during database synchronization. At the effective time, the modifications to the workspace records are made effective on the server and activated on the client. Optionally, the association-rule and the newly associated records are distributed in response to receiving approval of the modified set of records.

Abstract: Electronic assigning of expense data related to sales calls to customers such as health care professionals (HCPs) aids in complying with local, state, federal, or other regulatory reporting requirements and guidelines. The method includes providing expense report data and presenting a line-item entry of the report on a display. Through a user interface, one or more customers included within a database are selected. An expense amount associated with the line-item entry is automatically allocated into dollar amounts among the selected customer(s) and entries in the database are updated for each selected customer to now include the allocated dollar amounts.
