The current invention is directed to methods for reducing the cost of healthcare by improving the standard of care and by encouraging healthy behavior. Additionally, the methods of the current invention are designed to help improve clinical and economic outcomes through the principles of empowerment and accountability. The methods of the current invention provide financial incentives to both the patient and the medical practitioner in an interactive, web-based incentive system that creates appropriate and powerful checks and balances that motivate medical practitioners and patients to participate and to be adherent to beneficial performance standards. The methods of the current invention achieves the objectives of improved healthiness and better and more affordable healthcare by aligning the interests of medical providers, patients / consumers, and healthcare purchasers / payers in a win-win-win proposition. In the invention, purchasers / payers achieve lower healthcare consumption and costs by compensating medical providers and patients to declare compliance to beneficial performance standards on an intermediary's Internet application, and then having both parties confirm each other's compliance. The methods of the current invention incorporates evidence-based medicine treatment guidelines and content and other performance standards, and dispenses information therapy and other similar types of content through an Internet application or by other means to improve the standard of healthcare treatment and promote healthy behavior, which leads to better clinical outcomes and a reduction in the overall cost of healthcare.

This invention provides a method of identifying clinically relevant, evidence based medical literature on diseases and their treatment to physicians, nurses and other healthcare personnel. This method accesses a medical literature database that is then searched using a medical literature classification system identifier for a disease integrated with an evidence based medicine search filter. In conjunction with identifying the evidence based medical literature, a database of articles selected and reviewed by experts that concern the disease is also searched. The results of both searches are then displayed to the user. This invention can be implemented through the use of an encoded computer readable medium.

The current invention is directed to improved methods for providing health care and for reducing the costs of health care. Additionally, the methods of the current invention are designed to improve the clinical outcome for the patient. The methods of the current invention provide financial incentives to both the patient and the medical service provider is an integrated manner that encourages patient empowerment, patient and physician accountability and appropriate checks and balances by incorporating evidence-based medicine treatment guidelines and content and other similar types of content through an Internet application or by other means to improve the clinical outcome of the health care treatment and to reduce the overall costs of health care.

The invention relates to an evidence-based medicine database establishment method and an evidence-based medicine disease diagnosing method to solve the problem that the traditional medicine database cannot be applied to evidence-based medicine decision making. For the invention, diagnostic elements of each disease are grouped and the elements provided with the identical internal-weight value and parallel value are grouped into the same group to form a diagnostic element group and then the diagnostic element groups are adopted to form the corresponding diagnostic template which is adopted to establish the database used for evidence-based medicine disease diagnosis. Based on the database, the evidence-based medicine disease diagnosing method can be established; wherein, the corresponding diagnostic element group can be searched out according to the diagnostic elements inputted by users and then the decision probability to the relevant one or a plurality of diseases against the received diagnostic elements is figured out according to the corresponding parallel value S, internal-weight value P and external-weight value R in the diagnostic element group and the number of the diagnostic elements actually meeting the diagnostic element group and is also sorted and displayed to the user so as to realize the purpose of intelligent diagnosis under the evidence-based medicine theory.

A medical rating system may include a set of rules of good medical practice, a rating agency providing a rating and a rating indicator based in part on the physician's adherence to rules of good medical practice.

The invention provides an intelligent processing method and system for medical literature and relates to the technical field of information retrieval. The intelligent processing method includes the steps of screening literature from a database according to research direction to acquire first literature information, collecting the first literature to a literature library, subjecting the first literature information of the literature library to preprocessing to acquire a literature structured library; training a computer models, creating an artificial intelligent processing method, subjecting second literature information of the literature structured library to evidence classification by the artificial intelligent processing method so as to acquire information of literature evidence classification results, and collecting the information of literature evidence classification results and saving the same to an evidence-based medical evidence database. The intelligent processing method and system for medical literature improves processing efficiency and accuracy of medical literature.

The invention belongs to the field of RCT (randomized controlled trial), and relates to a real-data-based simulative RCT analysis method. The analysis method is a data analysis method for comparative effectiveness researches, is used for analyzing result data generated by different interference, and comprises the steps of database creation, randomized grouping, statistical analysis, result obtaining and the like. The analysis method is used for performing comparative effectiveness analysis on clinically generated real data, confounding factors can be effectively controlled, an analysis result is high in extensionality, requirements on the sample size are low, and a plurality of result indexes can be simultaneously analyzed; the analysis method can be used for comparing the effectiveness and security of different clinical intervention methods or strategies, and new evidences for evidence-based medicine can be provided for clinical decision making.

A method and apparatus for providing reports of medical procedures includes a biometric data recorder to record and transmit biometric data of a patient, the biometric data being transmitted with a medical report of the medical procedure. The medical report and biometric data are transmitted as an encrypted transmission to an information center for storage. The medical reports of steps in the medical procedure for a patient are linked using the biometric data even if performed by different medical service providers. Medical reports of plural patients undergoing the procedure are stored, linked according to patient using the patient biometric data. Reports generated from the linked data anonymously report a given patient's status following the procedure. Statistical reports are generated on plural patients undergoing the procedure, and competing procedures are compared using the statistical reports.
