1. A method for patient verification comprising:
- establishing a signal confirmation protocol that includes identification information related to a particular patient;
incorporating a first version of the identification information in an interface module associated with the particular patient;
incorporating a second version of the identification information in a communication module associated with a selected procedure intended for the particular patient; and
implementing the signal confirmation protocol via a communication link between the communication module and the interface module to facilitate suitable matching of the selected procedure with the particular patient.
