Abstract
Prescription data representing a prescription for a particular drug is arranged into records. Each record includes fields for identifying a patient and a subscriber, and for indicating the date for dispensing the drug and the drug dosage, among other things. Based on the information in the fields, a prescribed drug is identified as a new therapy or a continuation therapy. In addition, a therapy switch is ascertained on the basis of the drug identified as the new therapy for a patient.
