  • a computer configured to communicate with one or more databases that stores one or more health care records containing a plurality of health care data related to the patient;

    wherein the databases are selected from a group consisting of an insurer database and a provider database;

    wherein the computer is configured to communicate with the plurality of health care data related to the patient of a type where each of the health care data is displayed in a separate field;

    wherein any of the plurality of health care data related to the patient which are intended to have the same meaning, are expressed in either different formats, or have not previously been subject to a normalized format;

    wherein the normalized format is of a type that displays health care data from one or more sources associated with a single patient such that any health care data associated with that patient having the same meaning is expressed in the same format despite any prior formatting;

    a rules engine that establishes the normalized format for health care data associated with the patient and predetermines how each of the plurality of selected health care data is to appear in its respective field to send to the participant;

    wherein fields in the normalized format that correspond to the fields containing the health care data for the patient not expressed as predetermined by the normalized format is remodeled to be expressed as predetermined by the normalized format becoming normalized data; and
