Abstract: A method of ensuring accuracy of healthcare patient data entered into a primary computer system by a user during patient registration. Healthcare patient data for a patient entered into the primary computer system is electronically received. The received healthcare patient data is analyzed using a secondary computer processor programmed to identify data entry errors including discrepancies and omissions. The identified errors are automatically presented to the user by the programmed secondary computer processor following analysis of the healthcare patient data. The identified errors are placed into a work list by the programmed secondary computer processor to enable the user to enter corrections for the identified errors into the primary computer system within a designated time-frame.

Abstract: A method for ensuring the accuracy of electronic medical patient intake data is disclosed. First, the medical intake data for multiple patients is entered into a computer system. The data for these patients are arranged into a batch. This batch is checked for errors in the intake data at some later pre-determined interval. If an error is detected, an alert is generated and sent to the appropriate person for correction.
