Method and apparatus for facilitating the provision of healthcare services
First Claim
1. A method for facilitating the provision of health care services using a physiological testing unit, one or more memories operable for storing one or more computer program products, and a processor operable for executing the one or more computer program products, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a prompt, through the one or more computer program products, to utilize the physiological testing unit to process first physiological data of a patient;
determining, through the one or more computer program products, if the physiological testing unit is to be enabled to process the first physiological data of the patient; and
if the physiological testing unit is to be enabled, enabling, through the one or more computer program products, the physiological testing unit to process the first physiological data of the patient.
