| 20080288291 | Digital Signature, Electronic Record Software and Method - A method and system for managing patient care includes electronically recording medical and demographic information of a patient and developing and electronically recording with the same software program an assessment of the patient including a plan of treatment having defined objectives and goals. Progress notes are periodically entered with the software program. The software program generates prompts for specific data to be input into each progress note. The prompts are automatically generated by the software program based on at least one of the recorded plan of treatment and defined objectives and goals. The progress notes are authenticated and electronically recorded and date stamped by the software program via digital signature and biometric verification such that, after the progress note is recorded, the progress note cannot be altered. Patient progress is tracked with the software program via automated comparisons of the progress notes and the objectives and goals of the plan of treatment. | 11-20-2008 |
