| 20080208632 | FREEZING A NETWORK- DELIVERED HEALTHCARE QUESTIONNAIRE - A network-delivered healthcare questionnaire may be frozen to prevent misinformation and confusion between a healthcare provider and a patient during a medical course of treatment. A patient accesses the questionnaire regarding an event such as a test or procedure during the patent's course of treatment. The patient submits responses to a plurality of questions. The responses include information that is actionable by the provider and related to the course or treatment. The patient assigns a frozen status to the submitted answers after completing the questionnaire or the provider assigns the frozen status after viewing the submitted responses or another triggering event. Once the responses are frozen, they may not be modified. Any further information the patient wishes to convey to the provider must be submitted directly or through another channel, thus ensuring that both the provider and the patient possess current and accurate information during the course of treatment. | 08-28-2008 |
