Method for Practitioner Network and Appointment Management System

摘要

A practitioner network and appointment management system is presented that coordinates between end users and practitioners to enable networked appointment scheduling and management. The system includes an end user side and a practitioner side. End user side enables control of a scalable interactive map whereon practitioner data points are displayable by medical discipline. Practitioner first order data (including time to availability) is visually cued. Selection of a practitioner data point enables end user entry to a practitioner queue, which updates practitioner first order data across the network. Patient data is automatically transferrable to the practitioner queue by secure protocol. Practitioner side enables access of practitioner queue and selection of patients occupying designated slots therein to view associated patient data. Patient locations are displayable to practitioner for in-person visits. Practitioners can transfer patients into other practitioner queues. HIPPA compliant secure data exchange and financial transactions are enabled across the network.

1. A practitioner network and appointment management system runnable upon a peripheral computing device to connect end users and practitioners in a secure network, said system having an end user side and a practitioner side, whereby the end user side enables end user selection of available practitioners displayable on an interactive map, said practitioners determinable to be geographically proximal said end user, said practitioners selectable for appointment scheduling through a GUI displayable upon the peripheral computing device, and the practitioner side enables practitioners access to automatically populated patient data by selection of patients entered into and actively occupying slots in an updateable practitioner queue, whereby an appointment schedule and practitioner availability is continuously updateable in real time across the secure network between end users and practitioners.
