Abstract
Grouping, categorizing, and profiling pharmaceutical claims data to assist health care managers is described. In aspects, a method is described including receiving pharmacy claims data records, validating each of the claims data records for a valid drug code, establishing a number of validated pharmacy claims data records received for each drug identified, grouping the validated pharmacy claims data records to one or more pharmacy episodes, categorizing each pharmacy episode, and storing the validated pharmacy claims data records and associated pharmacy episodes for monitoring usage of prescription drugs. In various embodiments, a pharmacy episode group is a pharmacologically homogenous grouping of drugs with the same therapeutic ingredients used by a patient once or over an extended period of time, and pharmacy episodes are categorized based on algorithms linking the pattern of a physician's recommended use and the patient's pattern of compliance.
