SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING GEOGRAPHIC PRESCRIPTION DATA

1 . A system for providing geographic prescription data, the system comprising:

an input device for receiving user selections for at least one of a portion of a region, a pharmaceutical, a category of pharmaceuticals, and a group of patients;

a presentation device for presenting a report to the user comparing information about the selected portion of the region to another portion of the region;

at least one database for storing electronic claims data; and

a computing platform in communication with the input device, the presentation device, and the at least one database, the computing platform

receives a persons of interest list,

correlates the stored electronic claims data with the persons of interest list such that all electronic claims data related to a person on the persons of interest list are correlated to the person, and

provides the report for the selected portion of the region and the selected group of patients based on the correlation of the stored electronic claims data with the persons of interest list, the report including,

prescriptions for the selected pharmaceutical,

a comparison of the prescriptions for the selected pharmaceutical to the prescriptions for the same selected pharmaceutical for the other portion of the region, and

a projected change in the prescriptions for the selected pharmaceutical based on at least one of a change in the patients prescribed the selected pharmaceutical and a change in the prescriptions per patients prescribed the selected pharmaceutical.

2 . A system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

another database for storing data generated from non-electronic data.

3 . A system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

another database for storing reporting data generated from the correlation of de-identified electronic claims data with the de-identified persons of interest list.

4 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein the computing platform determines a metric based on geography.

5 . A system according to claim 4 , wherein the metric based on geography includes portioning of a region by commercial markets.

6 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein the persons of interest list includes subscribers of a service provider.

7 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein the computing platform comprises a processor.

8 . A system for providing geographic prescription data, the system comprising:

an input device for receiving user selections for at least one of a portion of a region, a pharmaceutical, a category of pharmaceuticals, and a group of patients;

a presentation device for presenting a report to the user comparing information about the selected portion of the region to another portion of the region;

at least one database for storing de-identified electronic claims data; and

a computing platform in communication with the input device, the presentation device, and the at least one database, the computing platform

receives a persons of interest list,

de-identifies the persons of interest list in the same manner as the stored de-identified electronic claims data,

correlates the de-identified electronic claims data with the de-identified persons of interest list such that all de-identified electronic claims data related to a person on the de-identified persons of interest list are correlated to the person, and

provides the report for the selected portion of the region and the selected group of patients based on the correlation of the stored de-identified electronic claims data with the de-identified persons of interest list, the report including,

prescriptions for the selected pharmaceutical,

a comparison of the prescriptions for the selected pharmaceutical to the prescriptions for the same selected pharmaceutical for the other portion of the region, and

a projected change in the prescriptions for the selected pharmaceutical based on at least one of a change in the patients prescribed the selected pharmaceutical and a change in the prescriptions per patients prescribed the selected pharmaceutical.

9 . A system according to claim 8 , further comprising:

another database for storing data generated from non-electronic data.

10 . A system according to claim 8 , further comprising:

another database for storing reporting data generated from the correlation of electronic claims data with the persons of interest list.

11 . A system according to claim 8 , wherein the computing platform determines a metric based on geography.

12 . A system according to claim 11 , wherein the metric based on geography includes portioning of a region by commercial markets.

13 . A system according to claim 8 , wherein the persons of interest list includes subscribers of a service provider.

14 . A system according to claim 8 , wherein the computing platform comprises a processor.

15 . A system for providing geographic prescription data, the system comprising:

an input device for receiving user selections for at least one of a portion of a region, a pharmaceutical, a category of pharmaceuticals, and a group of patients;

a presentation device for presenting a report to the user comparing information about the selected portion of the region to another portion of the region;

at least one database for storing de-identified electronic claims data; and

a computing platform in communication with the input device, the presentation device, and the at least one database, the computing platform

receives a persons of interest list,

de-identifies the persons of interest list in the same manner as the stored de-identified electronic claims data,

correlates the de-identified electronic claims data with the de-identified persons of interest list such that all de-identified electronic claims data related to a person on the de-identified persons of interest list are correlated to the person,

determines metrics based on geography and the correlation of the stored de-identified electronic claims data with the de-identified persons of interest list and

provides the report for the selected portion of the region and the selected group of patients based on the determined metric and the correlation of the stored de-identified electronic claims data with the de-identified persons of interest list, the report including,

prescriptions for the selected pharmaceutical,

a comparison of the prescriptions for the selected pharmaceutical to the prescriptions for the same selected pharmaceutical for the other portion of the region, and

a projected change in the prescriptions for the selected pharmaceutical based on at least one of a change in the patients prescribed the selected pharmaceutical and a change in the prescriptions per patients prescribed the selected pharmaceutical.

16 . A system according to claim 15 , further comprising:

another database for storing data generated from non-electronic data.

17 . A system according to claim 15 , further comprising:

another database for storing reporting data generated from the correlation of electronic claims data with the persons of interest list.

18 . A system according to claim 15 , wherein the metric based on geography includes portioning of a region by commercial markets.
