Abstract:
A method, system, and apparatus to match patients with healthcare providers are described. Patients and healthcare providers are classified into separate profile categories with similar but different information. Patients are presented an index of healthcare providers that best fit their search criteria and healthcare providers are presented an index of patient that best fit their search criteria. The patients and healthcare providers sequentially make an indication of whether they wish to match with each individual presented. When patients and healthcare providers indicate they wish to match with an individual, the individual receives a request. If the individual approves the request, a match is formed. When a patient and healthcare provider match, they are then able to communicate with one another.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 16 , further comprising providing for matching between the healthcare provider and the patient by:\n for the healthcare provider, comparing, via the processor, the healthcare provider profile record to the patient profile records in the patient database to determine a patient index of potential matching patients; creating or accessing, via the processor, a patient profile card for each of the potential matching patients; determining, via the processor, an order for the patient profile cards based on a degree of matching with the healthcare provider profile record, with patient profile cards having a higher degree of matching being placed first in the order; causing, via the processor, a first ordered patient profile card to be displayed at the healthcare provider terminal of the healthcare provider; receiving, from the healthcare provider terminal, a healthcare provider input in relation to the first ordered patient profile card; responsive to the healthcare provider input being indicative of a rejection of the patient profile card, causing, via the processor, a next ordered patient profile card to be displayed at the healthcare provider terminal; responsive to the healthcare provider input being indicative of an acceptance of the patient profile card, determining, via the processor, if the patient has already accepted the healthcare provider by accessing the linkage database; responsive to the patient having not accepted the patient, transmitting, via the processor, a message to the patient terminal of the patient indicative of a pending request from the healthcare provider; and responsive to the patient having already accepted the healthcare provider, causing, via the processor, a linkage record to be created indicative of a pairing between the patient and the healthcare provider and enabling the patient and the healthcare provider to communicate with each other.
