A business model for an information database and network, designed specifically for the analysis of the impact upon medical patients and supplement-herb consumers with respect to (1) the consumption of different medications and pharmaceuticals, (2)the consumption of different supplements and herbs, and (3) the consumption of medications and supplements and herbs in order to produce a medication consumption schedule automatically. The medication schedule is formulated pursuant to information contained in published medication, supplement, herb, and herbal formulation monographs, which provide critical information about cautions, contraindications, description, dosage amount, frequency, interactions, separations, side-effects, and warnings. The business model is fully compatible with Internet networks to provide real-time network connectivity and interaction between physicians, hospitals, pharmacies, health care professionals, and individual patients.
It is claimed that the Medication Compatibility Profile Data System business model will provide accurate data analysis and comparisons of multiple forms of medications—supplements—herbs.
It is claimed that the Medication Compatibility Profile Data System business model will accurately produce a medication schedule for the safe and proper consumption of multiple forms of medications—supplements—herbs.
It is claimed that the Medication Compatibility Profile Data System business model will accurately produce a medication schedule at speeds unattainable by any other method.
It is claimed that the Medication Compatibility Profile Data System business model will mitigate the incidence of injury and death caused by improper mixing of multiple forms of medications—supplements—herbs.
It is claimed that the Medication Compatibility Profile Data System business model will provide a more secure and reliable procedure for transmission of medication prescriptions between physicians and pharmacists.
It is claimed that the Medication Compatibility Profile Data System business model will provide prescription medication consumers with a nationwide network for secure access to individual medication records and profiles which will enhance accurate and competent medical treatment by physicians and hospital staff when the medication consumer is away from home.
It is claimed that the Medication Compatibility Profile Data System business model will provide pharmacists with an accurate database to effectively monitor prescription pharmaceutical sales and consumption for tighter management of controlled pharmaceutical substances.
It is claimed that the Medication Compatibility Profile Data System business model will provide a feedback mechanism, for tracking controlled substances, between pharmacists and physicians which is virtually non-existence at present.
It is claimed that the Medication Compatibility Profile Data System business model and medication dispenser will effectively prevent misuse and abuse of prescription controlled substances.
It is claimed that the Medication Compatibility Profile Data System business model will provide a real-time communications network availability between physicians and pharmacists which will enhance the safe and accurate dissemination of pharmaceuticals.
It is claimed that the Medication Compatibility Profile Data System business model will provide holistic health practitioners with a database for analysis and development of safe consumption schedules with respect to consumption of prescription pharmaceuticals.
It is claimed that the Medication Compatibility Profile Data System business model will provide holistic health practitioners with a database for analysis and development of safe consumption schedules with respect to consumption of certain foods.
It is claimed that the Medication Compatibility Profile Data System business model will provide holistic health practitioners with a database for analysis and development of safe consumption schedules with respect to consumption of dietary supplements.
It is claimed that the Medication Compatibility Profile Data System business model will provide holistic health practitioners with a database for analysis and development of safe consumption schedules with respect to consumption of herbal supplements.
It is claimed that the Medication Compatibility Profile Data System business model will provide holistic health practitioners with a database for analysis and development of safe consumption schedules with respect to consumption of homeopathic products.

One of five Americans (22%) report that they or a family member experienced a medical error of some kind. One of ten adults reported that their own or a family members illness condition had become worse as a result of a mistake in a doctor's office or in the hospital, and about half of those reported that the problem was very serious. Of the 16% reporting a medication error, over one-fifth indicated that the error turned out to be a very serious problem. Nationally, these facts translate into an estimated 22.8 million people reporting at least one family member who experienced a mistake, and 8.1 million households reporting at least one family member had a problem that was serious because of medical and medication mistakes. This on-going circumstance suggests that the Institute of Medicine's 1999 report To Err Is Human, which estimated that there are 44,000 to 98,000 deaths annually due to medical errors, may be just the tip of the iceberg in determining the full extent of injuries from medical errors.
