Abstract
The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for projecting patients having a medical condition by utilizing multiple data sources. One computer-implemented method includes accessing patient data related to multiple patient transactions, each patient transaction representing provision of medical care including one or more pharmaceutical products to a patient. One or more factors are derived for use in projecting the accessed patient data to represent all patient transactions for the geographic area. A first projection of the accessed patient data is calculated using the derived one or more factors. The first calculated projection is compared to pharmaceutical distribution data for the geographic area. The derived factors are adjusted by reducing a difference between one or more components of the first calculated projection and one or more components of the pharmaceutical distribution data. A second projection of the accessed patient data is calculated using the adjusted one or more factors.
