System for providing consumer access to healthcare related information

摘要

A system uses aggregated healthcare encounter service, billing, and claim data to enable an authorized patient to access healthcare encounter related information. A system supports patient access to healthcare encounter related information including information concerning an event involving interaction of a patient with a healthcare enterprise. The system includes an interface processor for receiving patient identification information and a request for encounter related information. The system also includes a database linking a patient identifier with, a record identifying at least one patient encounter and data identifying at least one healthcare provider organization associated with the at least one patient encounter and a record containing encounter information related to the at least one patient encounter. A data processor accesses the database to provide encounter related information for a patient and processes the encounter related information to be suitable for output communication for presentation to the patient in response to the patient identification information and the request.
