System for managing laboratory test results for patients taking an endothelin receptor antagonist

A method of receiving and managing laboratory test results for patients taking an endothelin receptor antagonist, the method comprising a central processing center, which is a separate business entity from a health care provider, wherein the central processing center performs the following tasks:

• i) receives patient information from the health care provider, the patient information comprising a patient identifier and a health care provider identifier for the health care provider associated with the patient;
• ii) enters the patient information in a central processing computer;
• iii) receives a laboratory schedule for each patient and laboratory tests needed for each patient from the health care provider;
• iv) enters the laboratory test schedule and laboratory tests needed into the central processing computer;
• v) receives laboratory test data for the patient from a laboratory, wherein the laboratory test data from the patient includes a liver function test;
• vi) enters the laboratory test data for the patient into the central processing computer and associates the laboratory test data with the patient that is the subject of the laboratory test data and the health care provider associated with the patient.

A method of receiving and managing laboratory test results, comprising:

• i) receiving patient information concerning one or more patients from one or more health care providers, the patient information for each patient comprising a patient identifier and a health care provider identifier for the health care provider associated with the patient;
• ii) receiving a privacy waiver from the one or more patients;
• iii) entering the patient information for each patient in a central processing computer;
• iv) receiving for each patient a laboratory test schedule, and laboratory tests needed from the health care provider, and entering the laboratory test schedule and laboratory tests needed into the central processing computer;
• v) receiving laboratory test data for each patient from a laboratory, wherein laboratory test data is received from a plurality of laboratories;
• vi) entering the laboratory test data for each patient into the central processing computer;
• vii) associating the laboratory test data with each patient that is the subject of the laboratory test data and the health care provider associated with the patient;
• and
• viii) wherein if no laboratory test data for the patient is entered into the central processing computer in accordance with the laboratory test schedule for the patient, the central processing computer notifies a call center which calls the patient, laboratory, or the health care provider informing them that the laboratory test data is overdue.
