  • Publication number: 20220375582
    Abstract: A system and method for automatic capturing of physician and patient interaction time and location information during provision of medical services by a physician during an appointment with a patient in hospitals, offices or clinics. Capturing total interaction time facilitates verifiable physician reimbursement by third-party payers. RF beacon technology based on the Bluetooth Low Energy devices and communications protocol may be utilized for personnel and location identification. The use of store-and-forward communications enable both reliable interaction-tracking packet data communications to an external host IT system in online offices, and alternatively the queuing of all data for transmission to an off-line host computer.
