A medical consultation support system which transfers a structured request for consultation from a primary care physician's client computer to a supervisory host computer. The structured request together with any additional information related to the request, form a machine-readable collection of information. At the supervisory computer, the request is reviewed by a receiving staff physician who designates a specialist and retrieves supporting documentation related to the consultation request from databases of medical information. The supervisory computer then transmits the request for consultation and at least an identification of the selected supporting documentation to the selected specialist for review, and thereafter receives a comment from the selected specialist. The supervisory computer further stores the request for consultation and the comment as a structured case history item in the database of medical information. A consultation may further be a source of continuing legal education credits for the requesting physician.

Medical consultation management system

The present invention relates to a system and method for facilitating and managing health care between a medical provider and a patient. In one aspect, the system and method includes providing a patient having a first criteria, which includes a medical symptom. The system and method also include selecting a subset of medical providers having expertise in treating the medical symptom, generating a care request to obtain a treatment proposal for the medical symptom of the patient, and updating the care request with medical information associated with the medical symptom.

Health care management system

The present invention makes available methods and reagents for inhibiting cell growth or promoting cell differentiation comprising contacting the cell with a differeguline in a sufficient amount to inhibit cell proliferation or promote cell differentiation.

Compounds and methods for regulating cell differentiation

A medical consultation support system in which a client computer is employed transfer a structured request for consultation from a primary care physician to a supervisory host computer. The structured request may be accompanied by additional information related to the request, forming a transmittable, machine-readable collection of information relating to the consultation request. At the supervisory computer, the request is displayed for preliminary review by a receiving staff physician who designates specialist and retrieves selected supporting documentation which is related to the current consultation request from one or more databases of medical information accessible to the supervisory host computer. The supervisory computer then transmits the request for consultation, together with at least an identification of the selected supporting documentation, to the selected specialist for review, and thereafter receives the responsive comment from the selected specialist. The supervisory computer further stores the request for consultation, including the specialist's responsive comment and an identification of the cited supporting material, as a structured case history item in the database of medical information where it may be accessed for future reference. Each consultation is further stored as a recorded learning event and is used to generate a report of continuing legal education credits earned by the requesting physician while participating in the managed consultation sessions.
