Compliance data for health-related procedures
First Claim
1. A method for maintaining updated patient compliance data comprising:
- establishing a patient compliance record regarding administration of a designated procedure for a particular recipient patient;
receiving a confirmation to correlate the particular recipient patient with such designated procedure;
receiving monitoring data via a communication link to verify actual administration of the designated procedure to the particular recipient patient;
making a comparison of the monitoring data with a predetermined benchmark standard to determine whether or not the monitoring data is in compliance with the predetermined benchmark standard; and
providing a data entry regarding the determined compliance to be incorporated in the patient compliance record as part of a cumulative summary.

Abstract
Exemplary embodiments provide a verification technique that facilitates administration of a health-related procedure to an intended recipient patient or group of patients. An interface template or signal protocol may be configured to establish suitable matching between the patient and various types of objects used to administer the health-related procedure. In some embodiments real-time monitoring data regarding administration of a health-related procedure to a recipient patient is posted to a patient data record that has restricted read/write access. In some instances the monitoring data is processed to determine compliance or non-compliance based on comparison of the health-related procedure with a predetermined benchmark standard.
