Abstract: An automated Triage Administrator system that links data for prescription requests, prescription refill requests, medical history requests and a patient's prescription history in a data base. The system allows pharmacies and physicians access to the desired medical information by fax or internet protocols. The system also provides all newly issued and current prescriptions to be joined into one “Super Prescription” for convenient distribution.

Abstract: A method of carrying out activity based costing in a professional practice, such as a healthcare practice or hospital is provided. The costs of activities involving an operator are calculated based on the time the operators should be expected to spend on a task, and the cost overhead, particularly the payment, of the operator. This is achieved using a Pre-Determined Motion Time System such as the MOST® system. This allows the inherent profitability of a business operation to be established independent of the current employees, so that the profitability of the business processes themselves can be ascertained.
