| 20090094056 | Systems And Methods For Projecting Sample Store Activities That Are Restricted In Non-Sample Stores - Systems and methods are provided for estimating non-sampled store activities by applying projection factors to sampled store activities taking into account restrictions on non-sampled store activities. The systems and methods adjust data projection factors for managed healthcare plans that have restrictions in non-sampled stores to prevent unrestricted activity under these plans at sample stores from being projected into non-sample stores where such projected activity would be restricted. Conventional sampled-to-non-sampled store projection factors leading to restricted plan activities are reallocated to non-restricted plan activities in the non-sample store based on the historical ratio of such activities observed in sample stores. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090132343 | System And Method For Product Level Projections Of Pharmacy Prescriptions Within Product Therapy Classes - Systems and methods for product level projections of pharmacy prescriptions within product therapy classes are provided. Average wholesale dollar sales amounts are obtained or estimated at channel/outlet/product-therapy levels. All of the average wholesale dollar sales amounts are converted to prescription data at channel/outlet/product-therapy levels using a correlation function. The correlation function is derived by correlating samples of total prescription data where available with corresponding average wholesale dollar sales amounts. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090281828 | Sample Store forecasting Process and System - A method and system of predicting market information includes the steps of receiving first data, forecasting further data based on the first data, receiving second data and comparing the further data with the second data, and creating an adjustment factor to account for any difference between the further data and the second data. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20090281934 | System And Method For Determining Trailing Data Adjustment Factors - Timely projections of product sales for a reporting time period are obtained by combining actual sales data received from reporting stores and estimated sales data for non-reporting stores. The projections are adjusted to account for trailing data, which may be reported after the end of the subject time period. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20090287538 | System And Method For Determining Trailing Data Adjustment Factors - Timely projections of product sales for a reporting time period are obtained by combining actual sales data received from reporting stores and estimated sales data for non-reporting stores. The projections are adjusted to account for trailing data, which may be reported after the end of the subject time period. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090287539 | Sample Store Forecasting Process And System - A method and system of predicting market information includes the steps of receiving first data, forecasting further data based on the first data, receiving second data and comparing the further data with the second data, and creating an adjustment factor to account for any difference between the further data and the second data. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090287540 | System And Method For Allocating Prescriptions To Non-Reporting Outlets - A method for predicting market information for a plurality of pharmaceutical outlets includes the steps of receiving first data representing purchases and sales of at least one pharmaceutical product from at least one pharmaceutical outlet over a time period in the past, calculating the amount of prescriptions that are not reported in a timely manner at a product-level, computing a product-level projection factor for the at least one pharmaceutical product and using the product-level projection factor to estimate the unreported amount of prescriptions. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090287541 | Sample Store Forecasting Process And System - A method and system of predicting market information includes the steps of receiving first data, forecasting further data based on the first data, receiving second data and comparing the further data with the second data, and creating an adjustment factor to account for any difference between the further data and the second data. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090287542 | System And Method For Allocating Prescriptions To Non-Reporting Outlets - A method for predicting market information for a plurality of pharmaceutical outlets includes the steps of receiving first data representing purchases and sales of at least one pharmaceutical product from at least one pharmaceutical outlet over a time period in the past, calculating the amount of prescriptions that are not reported in a timely manner at a product-level, computing a product-level projection factor for the at least one pharmaceutical product and using the product-level projection factor to estimate the unreported amount of prescriptions. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090313066 | System And Method For Determining Trailing Data Adjustment Factors - Timely projections of product sales for a reporting time period are obtained by combining actual sales data received from reporting stores and estimated sales data for non-reporting stores. The projections are adjusted to account for trailing data, which may be reported after the end of the subject time period. | 12-17-2009 |
