Abstract: A system, a method, and computer program product is disclosed for time sharing access control to data in a database system and executing a plurality of database processes to avoid contention of the database processes. A data table having a plurality of data groups or partitions is defined via a database management system, and is stored in a computer memory. A plurality of database process/time segments pairs are defined by pairing each of a plurality of database processes with each of a plurality of time segments. The defined pairs are stored in a computer memory. Each of the pairs is associated with at least one of a plurality of data groups or partitions of the data table, and the associations are stored in a computer memory. A request is received by the database management system that one of the database processes be given to access the data table. A time segment for the database process is determined via a computer processor.

Abstract: A computer-based system, method and computer program product for controlling access to protected personal information is disclosed. Protected personal information that is accessible by an information management application program is stored in a computer memory. In response to a request from an authenticated user for information, which includes protected personal information, information is displayed indicating that user has requested protected personal information, but the protected personal information is not displayed. In response to receiving user input requesting access to the protected personal information, a determination is made as to whether the user is authorized to access the requested protected personal information. If so, requested protected personal information is displayed to the user and information is stored relating to the user's access to protected personal information.

Abstract: A system, a method, and computer readable medium for threshold billing of returned items. Billing threshold rules are established and stored in a computer memory and are associated with returned items. A returned item is identified and a computer processor determines if a billing threshold rule has been associated with the returned item. If so, the processor assigns the returned item to a container based on a billing threshold rule associated with the returned item. Information indicating the container to which the returned item has been assigned is stored in the computer memory. The processor determines if the billing threshold amount for the returned item has been reached. If so, the processor determines the status of the container to which the returned item has been assigned.

Abstract: A computer-based system, method and computer program product for determining compliance with contracted pharmacy reimbursement rates. The computer-based system, method and computer program product includes storing pharmacy reimbursement contract information comprised of information regarding a plurality of contracts between a payor and a pharmaceutical product provider. A plurality of claims are received via an electronic communications network. One or more of the plurality of received claims are compared to at least one of the plurality of contracts by identifying, via computer processor, one or more of the plurality of contracts having pharmaceutical reimbursement contract information that is common with one or more of the received claims. If only one contract is identified, the one contract is associated with the received claims. An indication of the association of the one identified contract with one or more of the received claims is stored in a computer memory.

Abstract: A computer may receive a product code from a POS device. Further, the computer may compare the product code to identifiers for a plurality of fraudulent coupons comprising universal product codes (UPCs) of the fraudulent coupon and a trigger item code of the fraudulent coupon. Responsive to a match between the product code and the identifier of at least one fraudulent coupon, the computer may obtain information associated with the fraudulent coupon. Further, the computer may transmit the information of the at least one fraudulent coupon to the POS device. The POS device may receive the information of the at least one fraudulent coupon and compare the information with a UPC of a coupon scanned at the POS device. Responsive to a match between the fraudulent coupon information and the UPC of the coupon, the computer may generate an alert to notify that the scanned coupon is a fraudulent coupon.

Abstract: A method of providing to a customer customized media at a physical point of sale (PPOS) of a good/service includes the steps of (a) receiving an identifier from the customer at the PPOS, (b) retrieving a media profile that is maintained in a database in association with the identifier, the media profile identifying at least one media content type, (c) generating a deliverable in accordance with the retrieved media profile by obtaining an item of the media content type identified in the retrieved media profile, and (d) communicating the generated deliverable to the customer at the PPOS.
