  • Patent number: 10140660
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enforcing compliance with fiduciary responsibilities related to the administration of a retirement plan are disclosed. The systems and methods include accessing compliance requirements corresponding to the fiduciary responsibilities related to administration of the retirement plan by a fiduciary. Upon accessing the requirements, compliance tasks are extracted in an example implementation. Once compliance tasks are extracted from the requirements, due dates for the compliance tasks are determined based on dates associated with the compliance requirements, or in some examples based on date chosen by a fiduciary. The compliance tasks are then stored in a database, in an example. The systems and methods then monitor the one or more compliance tasks and send alerts based on monitored activities. Finally, in an example implementation, responses to the alerts are tracked to determine whether any follow up action needs to be triggered.

  • Publication number: 20100088245
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for developing studies such as clinical trials, including computer-assisted recruitment or selection of patients, clinical trial investigators, facilities, or clinical trial study sites. In certain examples, computer-processing of physician records scores physicians potential investigators, as determined from at least one physician characteristic, and the physician's proximity to the nearest clinical trial study site. Clinical trial study sites are also scored. In certain examples, at least one physician characteristic is used to score potential clinical trial study sites. Processes for engaging physicians and their patients in clinical trial studies are also described. Suitable patients can be contacted through their physicians or other caregivers to participate in the clinical trial study.
