Recordation Systems and Methods to Track Patient Treatment Progress Toward Identified Goals
First Claim
1. A process for tracking skilled-service rendered to a patient by a provider at a treatment location, comprising the steps of:
- treating said patient based on at least one treatment goal at said treatment location by said provider;
generating at least one quantifiable record of progress made toward said at least one treatment goal identified for the patient and addressed by the provider during a treatment session;
valuating said quantifiable record of progress made toward said at least one treatment goal identified for the patient;
receiving an input comprising said at least one quantifiable record of progress so generated, for storage as treatment record data at a host location;
automatically generating a patient report using said treatment record data and a host processor; and
submitting said patient report to an entity selected from the group consisting of a health care facility, a health care provider, an insurer, the patient, an entity authorized to receive records of the patient, and a record-keeping entity for the provider.

Abstract
A process for tracking skilled-service rendered a patient by a provider at a treatment location including: generating, at the treatment location, at least one record of progress made toward each treatment goal identified for the patient and addressed by the provider during a session; receiving an input comprising each record of progress so generated, for storage as treatment record data at a host location. Data is stored in searchable data fields for access and retrieval upon command. Using the treatment record data and a host processor, a patient report is automatically generated for submitting to an entity selected from the group consisting of a health care facility, a health care provider, an insurer, the patient, an entity authorized to receive records of the patient, and a record-keeping entity for the provider. Each treatment goal identified is preferably based upon an evaluation of the patient'"'"'s condition. The evaluation may take place prior to, or during, the current treatment session, by the same or another provider. A system and computer executable program code are also included.

13. A system for tracking skilled-service rendered to a patient by a provider at a treatment location, comprising:
-
a composite record, generated at the treatment location, comprising at least one quantifiable record of progress made toward at least one treatment goal identified for the patient and addressed by the provider during a session, wherein said composite record comprises a valuation of said quantifiable record of progress;
a storage medium at a host location for storing treatment record data comprising each said quantifiable record of progress so generated; and
a host processor for automatically generating, using said treatment record data, a patient report for an entity selected from the group consisting of a health care facility, a health care provider, an insurer, the patient, an entity authorized to receive records of the patient, and a record-keeping entity for the provider. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A computer executable program code on a computer readable storage medium for tracking skilled-service rendered to a patient by a provider at a treatment location, the program code comprising:
-
a first program sub-code for receiving an input of data comprising at least one quantifiable record of progress made toward at least one treatment goal identified for the patient and addressed by the provider at the treatment location during a session, wherein said input of data comprises a valuation of said quantifiable record of progress;
a second program sub-code for storing each said quantifiable record of progress so received, as treatment record data at a host location; and
a third program sub-code for generating a patient report using said treatment record data and a host processor, said patient report comprising information from said at least one quantifiable record of progress for submitting to an entity selected from the group consisting of a health care facility, a health care provider, an insurer, the patient, an entity authorized to receive records of the patient, and a record-keeping entity for the provider. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
