A system and process for providing a computerized medical and biographical records database and diagnostic information. A medical records database and diagnostic program is stored on a central computer that is accessible to individuals using remotely situated computers connected to a computer network. Individual patient medical and biographical records are owned by individual patients who can enter information in their record as well as grant or deny authorization to others, such as health care professionals, insurance providers and other entities, to review part or all of their record. The diagnostic program provides a series of diagnostic questions to an individual who must respond either "yes" or "no" to each question. Each potential response is weighted relative to its importance to a particular disease diagnosis. Relative weights for all responses to diagnostic questions are summed to identify potential diagnoses to connected to the answered questions. The diagnostic program provides the individual with a list of potential diagnoses as well as permitting the individual to save the information to his or her individual medical and biographical record. The information maintained in the above system and process is utilized for health care financing and insurance.

The present invention relates to a systems and methods for selecting agents and combinations of agents for treatment of particular cancer patients or selected groups of cancer patients. These methods of the invention index possible agents and combinations in a ranking indicating the likelihood of their usefulness in the particular patient or group of patients. The indexing depends on chemo-sensitivity/resistance assays data for the agents and combinations themselves, supplemented by reference data obtained from assaying the same and other agents and combinations against clinically similar tumors, and on overall clinical response rates for the agents and combinations. These methods include additional new indexing criteria which supplement or replace previous criteria in order to provide for more complex, informative and quantitative analysis of potential treatments for single patients or groups of patients. The new criteria, and the methods and the present invention generally, are based on new discoveries and insights concerning the action and interaction of chemotherapeutic agents, including for example, recognition of the common heterogeneity of tumors heretofore considered empirically substantially homogeneous. Systems of the invention provide access to significant reference data and implement the methods of the invention in a manner for use by physicians and other health professionals. In further embodiment, these method and systems provide for screening of new agents and new combinations including, perhaps, old agents in a manner that can detect activity even if overall clinical response rates are not encouraging.

A system for providing expert care to a basic care medical facility (OPCL) from a remote location. The system facilitates real-time, continuous assessment of patients receiving care in an OPCL that is not generally equipped to provide expert medical care on a twenty-four basis. Patient monitoring equipment acquires monitored data elements from a patient monitoring station and transmits the monitoring data over a network to a remote command center. The remote command center also receives other patient data to the extent available from the OPCL. Alternatively, the patient monitored data is sent to a remote command center along with patient data at a pre-established time or when requested by remote command center. The delivery of stored monitoring data and patient data may be expedited if an urgent consultation is warranted. A rules engine continuously applies a patient-specific rule or rule set to the data elements selected from the assessment data from each OPCL monitored patient to determine whether intervention is warranted. Patient-specific rules may be created that are consistent with the capabilities of the OPCL.
