Abstract: A system and method for managing patient consent. A data access manager includes a controller, a lookup module, a clinical authorization engine, a logging/auditing unit, a user profile engine, a report module and a user interface engine. The controller manages the core functions and the transmission of data between the data access manager components. The lookup module enables a user to query patient data. The clinical authorization engine authorizes access to patient data. The logging/auditing unit logs and monitors user activity. The user profile engine accesses and updates user profile information. The patient profile engine accesses and updates patient profile information. The report module generates reports related to the user activity. The user interface engine generates user interfaces for displaying the user profiles and patient information data.

Abstract: A system and method for scheduling or managing receipt of healthcare services are disclosed. A centralized service management module is coupled to one or more client devices and to one or more service providers, such as healthcare providers or insurance providers. The centralized service management module receives an interaction, such as an appointment request, from a client device or a service provider associated with healthcare services. The centralized service management module associates a service provider with the interaction based on a stored user profile. The interaction is then transmitted by the centralized service management module to the associated service provider, which provides data associated with a healthcare product or service associated with the interaction to the centralized service management module. The data is stored in the user profile and transmitted, buy the centralized service management module, to a client device using a communication protocol specified by the user profile.

Abstract: A master matching index (MMI) is accessible to a plurality of entities connected over a network. Access to the MMI is provided via MMI adapters distributed among the entities. A distributed MMI adapter contains matching algorithms that specify how record queries from its associated entity should be compared against information in the MMI. Accordingly, an MMI may be searched for matches according to matching algorithms specified by disparate entities.
