  • Patent number: 10552802
    Abstract: Turnkey maintenance of a customer's aircraft fleet is managed by a single management service provider (MSP) controlling integrated maintenance and materials services from a central operations site. The MSP converts data received directly from on-board aircraft systems into information it uses to manage maintenance service providers and parts suppliers. The MSP contracts with and manages maintenance, repair and overhaul organizations (MROs) who perform the maintenance on the customers' aircraft at line and base stations. The MSP either remotely manages part inventories at the customer's site, or manages suppliers who deliver the parts to the MROs. Maintenance planning, scheduling and execution information is exchanged between the MSP, MROs, part suppliers and the customers through a shared data communication network controlled by the MSP. The MSP charges the customer for the maintenance services based on a flat rate per unit of aircraft flying time.

  • Publication number: 20060116907
    Abstract: A method is provided for utilizing a history database to process a prescription drug authorization request. One embodiment, among others, comprises the steps of: searching an authorization criteria database, producing authorization category records matching a drug identifier; for each of these records, adding a history record; receiving an authorization request; searching the criteria database, producing another set of authorization category records matching the category of the drug identifier; for each of these records, formulating a key comprising the request patient identifier and the matching authorization category; querying the history database using each formulated key, producing history records; and granting or denying the request based on applying the second set of authorization category records to the history records. The history record contains a composite key combining a portion of received claim information and at least a portion of the matching authorization category record.
