Abstract: A system to provide a summary of patient healthcare information to a EHR during a patient visit is provided. Electronic information indicating that a healthcare provider entered a diagnosis into the EHR of the patient is received by a processing device. Electronic information indicating a health plan associated with the patient is also received by the processing device. A request for information is provided to request a summary of patient healthcare information in response to the diagnosis and the health plan. In an alternate embodiment, a request for information is provided when a patient's EHR is accessed by a healthcare provider and the patient has certain characteristics. The request for information to request the summary of patient healthcare information is transmitted to another processing device having healthcare information of the patient. The summary of patient healthcare information is then received and transmitted to the EHR.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus enabling organizations with a need to communicate with healthcare providers regarding health-related issues affecting patient health to notify healthcare providers of a health-related issue affecting patient health are disclosed. An electronic notification of the health-related issue is transmitted by one of the organizations to a healthcare notification network, which may include a healthcare website, for transmission to a healthcare provider, where the electronic notification includes a mechanism for obtaining an acknowledgement indicating that the healthcare provider has received and opened the electronic notification. Healthcare related information, such as drug recalls and medication warnings to healthcare providers from content providers, along with other services, is provided at the healthcare website. Healthcare related information may also be provided through other websites, such as electronic prescription and electronic medical/health records websites.

Abstract: A method obtains and stores medical information in a machine-readable format. An interface is provided to select a portion of the medical information. In response to a user selection, the portion is displayed on a substrate, and the medical information is accessed by information, recorded in a machine-readable format on the substrate. A system includes a healthcare provider processing device obtaining eligibility information from the substrate and generating an eligibility request to an entity processing device that forwards the eligibility request to a payer. An eligibility response from the payer is then provided to the healthcare provider via the entity processing device. In an embodiment, medical information in a paper format is faxed using a unique user identifier and password and categorized into a machine-readable format.

Abstract: An article of manufacture, such as a credit card sized health card having a magnetic strip, includes user selected medical information and/or information to obtain medical information of an individual and eligibility of healthcare payments in an embodiment. A user may customize the medical information displayed on the health card. In an embodiment, a method obtains and stores medical information in a machine-readable format. An interface to select a portion of the medical information is provided to a user. In response to a user selection, the portion is displayed on a substrate, such as the health card, and the medical information is accessed by information, such as a URL, user identifier and password, recorded in a machine-readable format on the substrate.

Abstract: A reporting system, including a processing device, and method provides drug and medical device safety and support information during a workflow of a healthcare provider. The system and method electronically acquires, maps, generates, compiles, verifies and transfers in real time critical information regarding particular drugs and medical devices required by healthcare providers, such as a prescriber, at the optimum time in which the healthcare provider needs the information. In an embodiment, the drug and medical device safety information is accessed from an associated healthcare website, such as an Electronic Health Record (EHR) web site, during a prescription stage in the healthcare providers workflow for a particular patient. The system and method also includes an adverse reporting system that allows for the drug and medical device safety information to be updated and accurately reported in an efficient and up to date manner.
