Abstract: Methods and systems for electronically recording the presence of an individual at a location, including individuals under care by a caregiver, include HIPAA-compliant receipt and recording of appearance data of an individual, comparing the data to stored records, and if matched, storing an attendance record. A sensor captures images of an individual at a point within the location, the image is hashed and compared with hashes in a database by a computer system, and if matched, an electronic attendance record, which indicates that the individual is present at the point, is created and stored in an attendance database. The electronic attendance record may be real time service delivery documentation, may include service and program information, and may be an electronic visit verification.
