Patent number: 10438149Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system, method and computer readable medium capable of verifying healthcare encounters. In one embodiment, an electronic verification process is described which may utilize geographical information to determine the proximity of a health care worker to the patient during a scheduled healthcare visit. The proximity information may then be compared to a threshold value and an electronic signature screen may be presented to the patient based upon the results of the comparison. In one embodiment, a time stamp may be generated and stored to provide confirmation as to the time that the patient's electronic signature was obtained via the electronic signature screen. Verification information stored by the system may be used to simplify the verification process, hasten payments to healthcare organizations and protect against healthcare fraud.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2016Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Wellsky Home Health & Hospice CorporationInventors: Kris Andrews, Arnold Cano, Edmund Danyal, Michael Ditson, Christopher Hester, Richard Mueller, Julie Olivier, George Santillan
