1. A healthcare information management system comprising:
- circuitry for obtaining an indication of a first device associated with and wearable by a patient hospitalized for a particular condition;
circuitry for obtaining an indication of a second device associated with and wearable by a caregiver;
circuitry for causing a recordation of a timestamp as an automatic response to the first device associated with and wearable by the patient and the second device associated with and wearable by the caregiver both being in a single common location; and
circuitry for causing a retrieval of the timestamp in response to an indication of an institutional readmission after the recordation of the timestamp indicating the first device associated with and wearable by the patient and the second device associated with and wearable by the caregiver both having been in the single common location.

Abstract
Structures and protocols are presented for signaling a decision (processing or transmitting a medical record or other resource, e.g.) conditionally, at least partly based on one or more performance indicia (excess hospital readmissions, e.g.) or therapeutic determinants (prior success, e.g.) or privacy considerations (patient consent, e.g.).

66. A healthcare information management method comprising:
-
obtaining an indication of a first device associated with and wearable by a patient hospitalized for a particular condition; obtaining an indication of a second device associated with and wearable by a caregiver; invoking circuitry for causing a recordation of a timestamp as an automatic response to the first device associated with and wearable by the patient and the second device associated with and wearable by the caregiver both being in a single common location; and causing a retrieval of the timestamp in response to an indication of an institutional readmission after the recordation of the timestamp indicating the first device associated with and wearable by the patient and the second device associated with and wearable by the caregiver both having been in the single common location.
