Abstract

A health care system includes a hosted environment (4, 6) that provides health care treatment, diagnosis, and/or management. Health care providers (2a-2g) are linked to one another and to a central network, which is linked to patient (3a, 3b) via the hosted environment. The patient (3a, 3b) interfaces with the hosted environment (4, 6), which provides the global access to the health care provider (2a-2g). The patient may also have medical devices (7) that facilitate collection of vital sign data (e.g., digital thermometer) and administration of treatment (e.g., medicine dispensary). The health care provider (2a-2g) can license the hosted environment (4, 6) to generate the treatment tree and perform the treatment. Thus, treatment is performed remotely based on globally standardized protocols. Additionally, a virtual clinical research organization (CRO) is provided, such that treating physicians and patients can participate in clinical trials and have access to new medical treatments. 1
