Abstract: The invention is directed to systems and methods for documenting home care services for providing reimbursement in the situation where a claimant has a relationship with a servicing entity. In particular, the invention relates to the situation where a claimant is being cared for by a caregiver. The method may comprise a caregiver entering the home of a claimant; the caregiver interfacing with a data input portion, which is disposed in the home of the claimant, prior to providing a service to the claimant so as to input a first data set into the data input portion; the caregiver providing the service to the claimant; upon completion of the service, the caregiver again interfacing with the data input portion to identify completion of the service, the first data set constituting collected data; and transmitting the collected data to the servicing entity.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of breeding plants to improve a trait of agronomic or horticultural value and plants produced by the method. The invention particularly relates to a method of plant breeding to affect an interaction between a plant and an interacting organism. Interactions that can be modified or affected are the positive beneficial, the negative or deleterious, or a harmless interaction. The breeding method of the invention provides progeny plant line phenotypes toward interacting organisms that exceed the range of phenotypes displayed by the parental strains. The methods of the invention can be implemented with the aid of molecular markers for quantitative trait loci.
