Method and apparatus for facilitating the provision of health care 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 a first physiological data of a patient;
determining, through the one or more computer program products, if utilization of the physiological testing unit to process the first physiological data of the patient is authorized; and
if utilization of the physiological testing unit to process the first physiological data of the patient is authorized, enabling, through the one or more computer program products, the physiological testing unit to process the first physiological data of the patient.

Abstract
The invention concerns a method and apparatus for facilitating the provision of health care services using, for example, an application service provider. One embodiment of the invention concerns a physiological testing unit, a RFID tag and a RFID transceiver. The RFID tag communicates with the RFID transceiver. In response, a determination is made regarding whether the physiological testing unit is to be enabled to process physiological data of a patient. If the physiological testing unit is to be so enabled, the physiological testing unit is enabled to process the physiological data of the patient.

13. A method for facilitating the provision of health care services using a physiological testing unit, a first circuitry;
- and a second circuitry, the physiological testing unit being operatively coupled to the first circuitry, the method comprising the steps of;
operatively coupling the first circuitry to the second circuitry;
communicating between the first circuitry and the second circuitry;
determining, in response to the step of communicating between the first circuitry and the second circuitry, if the physiological testing unit is to be enabled to process a first physiological data of a patient; and
if the physiological testing unit is to be enabled, enabling the physiological testing unit to process the first physiological data of the patient. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A system comprising:
-
one or more memory units operable for storing one or more computer program products for facilitating the provision of health care services;
a processor coupled to the one or memory units, wherein the processor executes the one or more computer program products for performing the steps of;
receiving a prompt to utilize the physiological testing unit to process a first physiological data of a patient;
determining if utilization of the physiological testing unit to process the first physiological data of the patient is authorized; and
if utilization of the physiological testing unit is authorized, enabling the physiological testing unit to process the first physiological data of the patient. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
