ABSTRACT:
An agent-neutral computerized method for processing administrative data of a medical service provider, including defining standard administrative data formats for use by a medical service provider system, a coordinator system, and a plurality of practice management agent systems, in creating and processing administrative data. The method also includes creating neutral evaluation data for the agent-neutral coordinator system by tracking administrative data transferred between the medical service provider system and the practice management agent systems, wherein the administrative data is in the standard administrative data formats. The method further includes providing the neutral evaluation data to the medical service provider system for selection of a first practice management agent system from the plurality of practice management agent systems, wherein the agent-neutral coordinator system reduces financial and operating costs for switching from the first practice management agent system to a second practice management system.
