METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DELAYING PROPAGATION OF PATIENT HEALTHCARE DATA
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a set of patient healthcare data from a first record keeper;
determining at least one characteristic of the patient healthcare data;
determining, using a processor, a propagation delay for the patient healthcare data based on the at least one characteristic; and
propagating the set of patient healthcare data to at least one second record keeper after the propagation delay has expired.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are therefore in order to provide delayed propagation of patient healthcare data. In this regard, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products may operate to control propagation of healthcare data for a delay period to ensure the accuracy of received medical data. This delay period may function to allow a record keeper to identify and correct any errors associated with the patient healthcare data. The delay period may be dynamic and configurable based on characteristics of the patient healthcare data. The delay period may be adjusted such that a threshold percentage of modifications are captured during the delay period. In some embodiments, the delay period may be associated with particular record characteristics, such as the record keeper that provided the record, a medical specialty associated with the record, patient demographic information, or the like.
