Abstract:
1. An information management and communications system for communications between a population of patients and healthcare providers and providing automated interactive health assessment monitoring of the population of patients that enables healthcare providers to selectively provide any of health screening, medical compliance, wellness program compliance, and disease management tailored for an individual patient within the population of patients, the system comprising: a nontransitory storage mechanism of a computer network system and on which is stored a plurality of call objects, the call objects comprising a plurality of health assessment questions and at least one message chosen from the group consisting of authentication messages, greeting messages, announcements, closing messages, conditional announcements, third-party announcements, interactive prompts, notices, disclaimers, and conditional messages; a graphical user interface of the computer network system and on which a healthcare provider interactively builds an entire monitoring call dialog that is audible and tailored for an individual patient by using the graphical user interface to an automated interactive patient response system that audibly communicates the entire monitoring call dialog to the individual patient, enables the individual patient to provide responses to the multiple health assessment questions, and records the responses of the individual patient in the storage mechanism; wherein the computer network system containing the storage mechanism and the graphical user interface provides secure health assessment monitoring of the individual patient, performs a risk evaluation based on the responses of the individual patient by aggregating relative risk factors obtained by comparing the responses of the individual patient to comparative measures, stores the risk evaluation on the storage mechanism, and enables a healthcare provider to access the responses of the individual patient and the risk evaluation stored on the storage mechanism, and modify the monitoring call dialog by editing at least one of the multiple health assessment questions and thereby further tailoring the monitoring call dialog to selectively provide any of health screening, medical compliance, wellness program compliance, and disease management of the individual patient.
