The invention provides a system and method of collecting, storing and managing laboratory test results of patients. In one embodiment the invention is directed towards collecting, storing and managing laboratory test results of patients taking an endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA). The system provides a way of securely collecting and tracking information from a plurality of patients, a plurality of laboratories, and a plurality of health care providers by use of a database. The method comprises receiving patient information from health care providers, receiving a laboratory test schedule for each patient, and laboratory tests needed for each patient. This data is entered into a central processing computer. The patients then go to any laboratory to have the monthly testing done due to the ERA prescription. The laboratory test data collected is sent to the central processing computer. The central processing computer can generate an automated report on the laboratory results and supply the results to the health care provider. Additionally, if no laboratory test data for the patient is entered into the central processing computer in accordance with the laboratory test schedule for the patient, the central processing computer will notify a call center which will call the patient, laboratory or health care provider informing them of the overdue laboratory test data.
