SYSTEM FOR ENABLING DATA PROCESSING WHILE MAINTAINING CONFIDENTIALITY

1 . A data processing method, comprising:

obtaining specific identification for identifying an individual and first record information associated with the specific identification;

substituting the specific identification with unique generic identification to disassociate the specific identification from the record information;

forwarding the unique generic identification and the first record information;

receiving the unique generic identification, and

substituting the unique generic identification with the specific identification.

2 . The data processing method of claim 1 ,

wherein the forwarded first record information is processed remotely.

3 . The data processing method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving second record information comprising results of the remote processing, and

associating the substituted specific identification with the received second record information.

4 . The data processing method of claim 3 ,

wherein the first record information is processed remotely without the specific identification so that individual confidentiality is maintained.

5 . The data processing method of claim 3 , in which the specific identification comprises a name.

6 . The data processing method of claim 3 , in which the specific identification comprises an address.

7 . The data processing method of claim 3 , in which the results of the remote processing comprise intervention types and timing.

8 . The data processing method of claim 5 , in which the name is added to the results of the remote processing

9 . The data processing method of claim 5 , in which the address is added to the results of the remote processing.

10 . The data processing method of claim 1 ,

wherein analysis of the first record information occurs at a remote site while the specific identification is maintained at a local site.

11 . The data processing method of claim 3 , further comprising:

transmitting the results of the remote processing to a fulfillment house.

12 . The data processing method of claim 3 , further comprising:

transmitting correspondence in accordance with the results of the remote processing.

13 . The data processing method of claim 1 , further comprising:

cleaning the first record information before transmitting the first record information.

14 . The data processing method of claim 3 ,

wherein the individual is a patient; and

wherein the first record information and the second record information comprise pharmaceutical information for the patient.

15 . The data processing method of claim 3 ,

wherein the individual is a patient; and

wherein the first record information and the second record information comprise prescription information.

16 . The data processing method of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving intervention information based on the forwarded first record information.

17 . The data processing method of claim 15 ,

wherein the first record information is forwarded to a compliance system and processed at the compliance system to obtain compliance information, and

wherein the results of the remote processing comprise the compliance information.

18 . The data processing method of claim 17 , further comprising:

merging the compliance information and the specific identification information to obtain fulfillment information.

19 . The data processing method of claim 17 , further comprising:

converting the compliance information into intervention types and timing associated with the specific identification information and generating preformatted letters.

20 . A computer readable medium for storing a program that perform a data processing method, the computer readable medium comprising:

an information obtaining code segment that obtains specific identification for identifying an individual and record information associated with the specific identification;

a first substituting code segment that substitutes the specific identification with unique generic identification to disassociate the specific identification from the record information;

a forwarding code segment that forwards the unique generic identification and the record information;

a receiving code segment that receives the unique generic identification, and

a second substituting code segment that substitutes the unique generic identification with the specific identification.
