Systems and methods for validating patient and medical devices information
First Claim
1. A system for automatically validating medical information received via a communication network, comprising:
- a microprocessor-based controller; and
a computer readable medium, including instructions executable by the microprocessor-based controller to;
receive a data set comprising patient information entered by a physician, wherein receiving the data set begins a patient data entry session;
validate at least a portion of the data set against validation parameters to determine if the entered patient information contains errors;
if one or more errors exist, prompt the physician to correct the one or more errors, wherein after the one or more errors are corrected, the patient information is validated;
store the validated patient information; and
end the patient data entry session.

Abstract
The present invention provides systems and methods for gathering, formatting, validating, storing and/or distributing medical information. In one exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides for centralized validation and maintenance of medical information derived from a patient visit. Thus, for example, a patient may visit his/her physician and during that visit the physician may read information from an implantable medical device associated with the patient, make other objective measurements of the patient, and record various subjective information about the patient. All of this information can be uploaded, validated and maintained on a variably accessible system. In some embodiments the validation process can occur in a single user communication session, or otherwise in a near real-time process.

13. A medical information validation system, comprising:
-
a microprocessor-based controller; and
a computer readable medium, including instructions executable by the microprocessor-based controller to;
receive a data set in a first data format from an implantable medical device;
convert the data set from the first data format to a second data format; and
validate the second data format against the first data format to verify that the conversion from the first data format to the second data format occurred without errors. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
