Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for validating prescriptions associated with patients, are disclosed. The computer-implemented method comprises obtaining the prescriptions including information from databases; storing the prescriptions in electronic medical record (EMR) systems; obtaining data comprising at least one of: information associated with the patients whose prescriptions are filled, and metadata of the filled prescriptions, from pharmacies; matching the filled prescriptions obtained from the pharmacies, with the prescriptions stored in the EMR systems; and validating whether each data of the data associated with the filled prescriptions are compliant with a drug affordability and access initiative program, based on the matching of the filled prescriptions obtained from the pharmacies, with the prescriptions stored in the EMR systems and eligibility parameters prestored in the EMR systems.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting a ground station for air-ground communications are disclosed. In an embodiment, a system includes a communications device operable to maintain bi-directional communications between an aircraft and a selected ground station, and a communications processor coupled to the device that is configured to select the ground station by executing a logical rule that is based upon a signal strength value of the ground station and at least one of an aircraft altitude and an occupancy value of the frequency channel.

Abstract: System and method for the adaptive control of VHF communications in aircraft. In one embodiment, the invention includes an adaptive communications system for an aircraft having a communications processor that accesses a communications switching model to select a preferred ground communications station. In another embodiment, a method of communication between an aircraft and a ground station includes receiving a communications switching model and determining a flight parameter for the aircraft as the aircraft navigates along a flight route and selecting a ground station based upon the determined flight parameter. The aircraft then communicates with the selected ground station. In still another embodiment, a method for compiling a communications switching model includes receiving signals from a ground station and measuring a signal strength. A preferred ground station is selected based upon the measured signal strength value.
