METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTHENTICATING AND MONITORING HOME HEALTH INTERACTIONS
First Claim
1. A method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a provider electronic device having an associated provider identification (ID), a patient ID from a wireless identification enabled object;
retrieving, from a database, healthcare intervention data that includes an expected patient ID and an expected provider ID for a scheduled healthcare intervention to be performed on a patient associated;
determining whether the received patient ID matches the expected patient ID and whether the device'"'"'s associated provider ID matches the expected provider ID;
if either the received patient ID does not match the expected patient ID or the device'"'"'s associated provider ID does not match the expected provider ID;
engaging a lock on the electronic device that prevents the recording of clinical data;
generating an exception report; and
generating a message that informs a third party of the exception report; and
only if the received patient ID matches the expected patient ID and the device'"'"'s associated provider ID d matches the expected provider ID, disengaging the lock on the electronic device to permit the recording of clinical data.

Abstract
A system uses a multi-pass authentication method to authenticate the presence of a health care provider co-located with an assigned patient at a specific time and in a specific place that includes a data reader and transmitter with particular capabilities held by the health care provider, a token held by the patient, and a back-end database and internet-based interface. The system includes an object that includes a wirelessly detectable patient identification (ID) and an electronic device. The electronic device includes a provider ID and is configured to receive the patient ID from the object, retrieve, from a database, healthcare intervention data. The electronic device selectively locks and unlocks access to clinical data recording functions of the electronic device based on the healthcare intervention data.

10. An electronic device for authenticating a scheduled healthcare intervention, the device comprising:
-
a processor; a network interface; a short-range communications component; and a computer readable medium for storing a provider identification (ID) and program instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to; receive a patient ID from a wireless identification enabled object using the short-range communications component; retrieve, from a database, healthcare intervention data that includes an expected patient ID and an expected provider ID for a scheduled healthcare intervention; compare the expected patient ID with the received patient ID and the expected provider ID with the stored provider ID, if either the expected patient ID does not match the received patient ID or the expected provider ID does not match the stored provider ID; engage a lock on the electronic device that prevents the recording of clinical data; generate an exception report; and generate and transmit via the network interface a message that informs a third party of the exception report; and only if the expected patient ID matches the received patient ID and the expected provider ID matches the stored provider ID, disengage the lock on the electronic device to permit the recording of clinical data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system, comprising:
-
an object that includes a wirelessly detectable patient identification (ID); and an electronic device, that includes a provider ID, configured to; read the patient ID from the object; retrieve, from a database, healthcare intervention data that includes an expected patient ID and an expected provider ID for a scheduled healthcare intervention; compare the object'"'"'s patient ID to the expected patient ID and the device'"'"'s provider ID with the expected provider ID; and unlock access to clinical data recording functions of the electronic device only if the object'"'"'s patient ID matches the expected patient ID and the device'"'"'s provider ID matches the expected provider ID, otherwise locking out access to the clinical data recording functions. - View Dependent Claims (20)
