Method and apparatus for the collection and management of healthcare practitioner profile information prior to inclusion in a hospital directory of affiliated practitioners or insurance provider directory of participating practitioners. Healthcare practitioners (e.g., physicians) enter and communicate changes to their profile data to a central database to increase their compliance and decrease the frequency of providing updated or incomplete information in a hospital or insurance provider directory. The profile data can be credentialed according to rules specific to each hospital or insurance provider, prior to inclusion in the directory. The directory may further provide online booking of available appointment times for affiliated physicians from multiple practice groups. The online booking process can simultaneously be available on multiple websites of a hospital, insurance provider, physician practice group and/or centralized provider (aggregator).

The method and system increases access to healthcare, reduces associated costs and enhances traditional medical services while creating a here to unknown way of providing patient healthcare.

A system using scheduled times for transmission at each link guarantees bandwidth for transmitting data across a packet network. A scheduling agent determines availability of data paths across a network according to pre-selected criteria and real-time network topology information. Precise schedules are determined for transmission and reception appointments for data packets to traverse each link and switch in the network including compensation for transmission delays and switch latencies, resulting in a fixed packet flow itinerary for each connection. Itineraries are communicated to schedule-aware switches and endpoints and appointment times are reserved for transmission of the scheduled data packets. Scheduled packets arriving at each switch are forwarded according to their predetermined arrival and departure schedules, rather than their headers or contents, relieving the switches from making real-time routing decisions. Any unscheduled transmission times remain available for routing of unscheduled packets according to their IP headers. Real-time transmission of data can be guaranteed in each scheduled path, and schedule selection criteria may be adjusted according to network utilization and tolerable setup delay and end-to-end delay.

The invention discloses a distribution path planning method and system. The method includes the steps that a handheld terminal receives an operation instruction of a user, initial point information and information of a plurality of destination stations are input, and a path planning mode is input and then sent to a server, wherein the path planning mode comprises a shortest distance planning mode, a most labor-saving transportation planning mode, a planning mode meeting the requirement of appointment time and a user-defined planning mode; the server obtains the path with the minimum planning parameter sum from a plurality of paths where all the destination stations are connected in series according to the initial point information, the information of the destination stations, the path planning mode and a pre-stored electronic map, and the corresponding track of the path with the minimum planning parameter sum is sent to the handheld terminal, the handheld terminal receives the corresponding track of the path with the minimum planning parameter, and the corresponding track is displayed on the handheld terminal. Through the method and system, path planning based on a single initial point and a plurality of destination places is achieved, and path planning information which is more comprehensive and more accurate is provided.

A system for scheduling a location-specific service appointment, the system comprising a communication network, a target service location, a desired service type, a service provider grouping, and an availability calendar.
