Abstract: The present invention is a drug interaction alert system for alerting someone associated with a patient (including in one embodiment the patient himself) that a serious potential for drug interaction in health care has occurred for the patient. Health insurance claims data is used in the computerized process to evaluate the degree of seriousness of the drug interactions in care.

Abstract: A gap in care alert system and method includes a computer network which receives health insurance claims data. A database with medical treatment protocols for medical conditions is in electronic communication with one or more processors, the computer network, and an electronic storage device. The processor is configured to analyze said health insurance claims data to identify a triggering event for an insured patient, establish a date for a follow-up event based on a treatment protocol, and generate a gap in care alert if subsequently gathered health insurance claims data does not contain the follow-up event by said date. An alert delivery subsystem delivers said alert electronically to a receiver.

Abstract: The present invention is a gap in care alert system for alerting someone associated with a patient (including in one embodiment the patient himself) that a gap in heath care will soon occur or in another embodiment that a gap in care has occurred for the patient based on the occurrence of a triggering event and the absence of a follow-up event occurring. Health insurance claims data may be used in the process to determine gaps in care.

Abstract: The present invention is a drug interaction alert system for alerting someone associated with a patient (including in one embodiment the patient himself) that a serious potential for drug interaction in heath care has occurred for the patient based on the occurrence of a triggering event. Health insurance claims data is used in the computerized process to score the degree of seriousness of the drug interactions in care.

Abstract: A condition can be diagnosed based on a symptom experienced by a subject and based on a biological sample including nucleic acids. Based on the symptom, a first set of the nucleic acids can be preselected for analysis. A first plurality of the nucleic acids of the first set that are present in the first biological sample can be captured. For each of the captured nucleic acids of the first plurality, an amount of that captured nucleic acid that is present in the first biological sample can be quantified and sequenced and based on the sequence of that captured nucleic acid, an origin of that captured nucleic acid can be identified. An indication can be output of the quantified amount and the identified origin of at least one captured nucleic acid that is present in the first biological sample.
