An implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), is configured to automatically detect ingestion of medications to verify that prescribed medications are taken in a timely manner and at the correct dosage. Briefly, individual pills are provided with miniature radio frequency identification (RFID) devices capable of transmitting RFID tag signals, which identify the medication contained within the pill and its dosage. The implanted device is equipped with an RFID transceiver for receiving tag signals from a pill as it is being ingested. The implanted system decodes the tag to identify the medication and its dosage, then accesses an onboard database to verify that the medication being ingested was in fact prescribed to the patient and to verify that the correct dosage was taken. Warning signals are generated if the wrong medication or the wrong dosage was taken. Therapy may also be automatically adjusted. Non-RF-based ID devices are also described, which instead transmit ID data via biphasic current pulses.

The present invention discloses a workflow oriented multi-screen healthcare information management system. The present invention allows the user to simultaneously access, display, and manipulate various healthcare information that are logically related on multiple screens without having to jump around or entering and exiting various screens. In particular, the present invention provides a first screen for managing information for a first point in the healthcare workflow and a second screen for managing information for a second point in the healthcare workflow, where the first screen and the second screen has a logical relation in the healthcare workflow. Various tasks in the healthcare workflow can be streamlined utilizing the system of the present invention. Specifically, the first and second screens can conveniently display complete patient history. The physician can write orders while viewing labs and medications. An X-ray report and problem list will be visible at the same time while the physician is writing SOAP notes. Writing discharge orders is simplified since all prescribed medications can be automatically printed. In addition, physician's orders are transmitted and processed automatically. As the result, physicians will benefit from improved efficiency, less time spent on charting, and more time spent with the patients. Errors will be reduced significantly throughout the entire healthcare process or workflow.

Without timely reminders, certain individuals may be highly unlikely to complete various tasks scheduled for completion. For example, medicinal therapy regimen patients often have difficulty in remembering to take their prescribed medications in accordance with care provider specified instructions. By providing a reminder prompt generation system that utilizes machine-learning and/or artificial intelligence to determine appropriate reminder times and modalities for providing automated-prompting notifications to users, the users' adherence to scheduled task completions can be significantly increased.

A system and method for monitoring patient adherence to prescribed medications include a processor that analyzes prior authorization data and insurance claims data based on adherence rules, which are user configurable. The system assigns non-adherence cases for user review by creating work queues. Queues may be associated with respective user roles. In response to a non-adherence case, the system generates automated notifications using a notification template. Placeholder variables are insertable into the templates to describe a parameter applicable to a specific instance of non-adherence. The placeholder is replaced by an actual value of the parameter when a notification document is subsequently generated.

A prepackaged medication system and method is provided to increase patient compliance with prescribed medications. The system comprises providing patients with customized packaging for all of their prescription medications organized by administration timepoint. Since all medications for an individual patient may be packaged in a customized form, a listing of all medications and prescribing physician information may be provided to patients and maintained for reference and use by physicians in evaluating treatment regimens. The method comprises obtaining prescription data from a patient, entering the obtained data into a database, extracting and organizing the patient's prescription data, generating a customized packaging layout for all of the patient's prescription medications organized by day and administration timepoint, filling each medication container within the package with the appropriate medication(s) and shipping either directly to the patient or to the patient's pharmacy.

The invention relates to a method for detecting phlegm eliminating and cough relieving granules. The method comprises the following steps of: preparing test sample solution, namely precisely weighing the phlegm eliminating and cough relieving granules, extracting the phlegm eliminating and cough relieving granules by using methanol, filtering the extracted phlegm eliminating and cough relieving granules, evaporating a proper amount the filtrate to dryness, purifying the filtrate and preparing the test sample solution of the phlegm eliminating and cough relieving granules by using the methanol; and detecting and comparing a finger-print characteristic peak of the high performance liquid chromatogram of the test sample solution by using a high performance liquid chromatography gradient elution method, wherein a total number of 19 characteristic peaks are obtained, and 6 chemical components are confirmed in the peak.
