1. A computer-implemented method to identify healthcare professionals, the method comprising:
receiving, from one or more database systems each comprising non-volatile data storage devices, prescription data including records, each record encoding information identifying a pharmaceutical product, information identifying a healthcare professional prescribing the healthcare product, information referring to a patient recipient who received a prescription of the prescribed healthcare product from the healthcare professional, and information indicating a time when the prescription was filled, the records devoid of information identifying patient recipients; extracting, from the received prescription data, records of more than one healthcare professionals; analyzing, by one or more processors coupled to the one or more database systems, the extracted records of each healthcare professional to rank the more than one healthcare professionals by:
determining, from the extracted records, a prescription volume for each healthcare professional;generating, for each healthcare professional, a summary prescription pattern of patient recipients receiving prescriptions from the healthcare professional; andclassifying each healthcare professional according to the generated summary prescription pattern; and providing, on a display device in communication with the one or more processors, information indicating at least one of the ranked healthcare professionals. |
