Abstract: A method for processing transactions while maintaining a customer's confidentiality includes receiving a customer's identity information and transaction information at a local server. The customer's identity information is substituted with a unique generic ID at the local server. The generic ID and the transaction information are forwarded from the local server to a distinct compliance system while the customer's identity information is retained at the local server. The transaction information is processed at the distinct compliance system to obtain compliance information using the transaction information and the generic ID. The compliance information and the generic ID are forwarded from the distinct compliance system to the local server. The customer's identity information is retrieved using the generic ID at the local server.

Abstract: A system is provided for processing data including patient identity information and pharmaceutical information. The system permits analysis of the pharmaceutical information to occur while maintaining the confidentiality of the patient identity information. The system includes a server and a data processor. The server stores the data and transmits the data to a data processor. Before transmitting the data, the server replaces the patient identity information with unique generic identification information. The data processor imports the data, including the substituted generic identification information, and analyzes the pharmaceutical information to obtain results. The data processor then exports the results along with the associated generic identification information back to the server.
