Patient parameter automatic acquisition system
First Claim
1. A patient parameter processing system, comprising:
- a transceiver for automatically wirelessly acquiring, from a patient attached tag, data enabling derivation of information identifying said patient;
an acquisition processor for automatically acquiring a patient parameter from a device attached to a patient; and
a data processor for automatically transferring both said acquired patient parameter and derived patient identification information in conjunction, to a system for generating patient related records and using said transferred parameter and identification information to ensure said acquired patient parameter is associated with a correct patient.

Abstract
A system automatically acquires and associates patient parameter ancillary information with patient identity data to reduce manual data entry and resulting medical error. A patient parameter processing system includes a transceiver for automatically wirelessly acquiring, from a patient attached tag, data enabling derivation of information identifying the patient. An acquisition processor automatically acquires a patient parameter from a device attached to a patient. A data processor automatically transfers both the acquired patient parameter and derived patient identification information in conjunction, to a system for generating patient related records to ensure the acquired patient parameter is associated with a correct patient.
