Abstract:
A method for managing a healthcare network comprising providing a relational database for provider data, verification data, facility data, updated provided data, updated verification data, and updated facility data. Automated notification is provided when it is time to up-date the provider data, verification data, facility data, and whether it has been done. Providers, network monitors, and facilities are so notified. The data is provided through a telecommunication, internet; or other electronic session, and compared relative to one or more objective standards. The objective standards are provided via one or more electronic forms stored within the database. These electronic forms also facilitate data capture by healthcare providers and healthcare facilities, and can be pre-populated with information from the database. Mobile computer devices capture information at the facilities, which is then downloaded into the database. The method can be implemented as a computer-readable storage medium or as computer executable code stored thereon.
