DATE AND TIME ACCURACY TESTING PATIENT DATA TRANSFERRED FROM A REMOTE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for processing patient data, the method comprising:
- (a) updating the date and time of a patient monitoring apparatus;
(b) storing the updated the date and time of the patient apparatus;
(c) receiving a patient reading, the patient reading including patient data and at least one apparatus date and time associated with the patient data;
(d) conducting one or more comparison analyses on the stored updated date and time, the current date and time, and the patient reading to determine the time accuracy of the patient data; and
(e) assigning an accuracy assessment value to the patient reading.

Abstract
A system and method for ensuring the accuracy of health related information. This system is used for receiving, processing, analyzing, and verifying the accuracy of healthcare data prior to its transmission to a client. Embodiment described may enable patient data, collected from various patient input devices, to be automatically filtered or categorized into one of several categories. The categories are based on the potential accuracy of the data, which are determined by a set of pre-determined rules. Data that surpasses accuracy testing may then be transmitted to a client (hospitals, patient physicians, patient caregivers, patients, etc.) for review and/or incorporation into client records. Data that fails accuracy testing may be discarded.

11. A system for remote patient monitoring, the system comprising:
-
a patient monitoring apparatus; and a central processing unit comprising an accuracy testing system, wherein the accuracy testing system is configured to; (a) update the date and time of the patient monitoring apparatus based on the system date and time of the accuracy testing system; (b) store the updated the date and time of the patient monitoring apparatus; (c) receive a patient reading from the patient monitoring apparatus, the patient reading including patient data and at least one apparatus date and time associated with the patient data; (d) conduct one or more comparison analyses on its system date and time, the stored updated date and time, and the patient reading to determine the time accuracy of the patient data; (e) assign an accuracy assessment value to the patient reading. - View Dependent Claims (12)
