Abstract

A patient care and billing integrated system employs a front-end interface for a real-time simultaneous collection of patient information, and a back end-interface operably connected to the front-end interface for a real-time simultaneous distribution of the patient information for OSS purposes.

Claims

1. A patient care and billing integrated system, comprising

a front-end interface for a real-time simultaneous collection of patient information;

and

a back-end interface operably connected to the front-end interface for a real-time simultaneous distribution of the patient information for OSS purposes.

2. The patient care and billing integrated system of claim 1, wherein the front-end interface is operable to collect the patient information from at least one of a time card input, a prescription form input, a paper medial form input and an insurance form input.

3. The patient care and billing integrated system of claim 1, wherein the front-end interface is operable to receive the patient information from at least one of a biometric sensor, a personal card, a lab equipment, a maintenance tracker, a PDA interactive treatment controller, and an electronic medial charts.

4. The patient care and billing integrated system of claim 1, wherein the back-end interface is operable to distribute the patent information to at least one of a bio feedback system, a billing system, a medical record system, an inventory control system, a provisioning system, a procurement system, a financial management system, an equipment maintenance system and a personal training system.

5. The patient care and billing integrated system of claim 1, further comprising:

means for correcting errors in the patient information.

6. The patient care and billing integrated system of claim 1, further comprising:

a patient card operable to OSS functions including at least one of a patient billing, an inventory control update, a provisioning and a procurement.

7. The patient care and billing integrated system of claim 6, further comprising:

a card reader operable to read and write to the patient card.

8. The patient care and billing integrated system of claim 6, wherein the patient card includes at least one of patient administrative data and medial treatment data.

9. The patient care and billing integrated system of claim 1, further comprising:

a mobile terminal including a graphical user interface for displaying the patient information.

10. The patient care and billing integrated system of claim 9, wherein the mobile terminal has a foldable display operable to display at least one image.

11. A patient care and billing integrated system, comprising

means for a real-time simultaneous collection of patient information;

and

means for a real-time simultaneous distribution of the patient information for OSS purposes.

12. A method for integrating a patient care system and a patient billing system, the method comprising:

employing a front-end interface serving as a real-time simultaneous collection of patient information; and

employing a end-interface serving as a real-time simultaneous distribution of the patient information for OSS purposes.
