Patent ID: 8751249

Claim:
One or more computer readable storage media having computer executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a computing device, perform a method for capturing compliance-qualified data, the method comprising: receiving a set of identifying information associated with a patient at a point of care; accessing patient information indicating membership of the patient in a group chosen from the set consisting of: an insurer, private payor, public payor, federal payor, Medicaid payor, and Medicare payor; and determining whether the patient lies within a population for which capture of compliance data is mandated by the patient's group, wherein: upon determining that the patient lies within a population for which capture of compliance data is not mandated by the patient's group: ending compliance processing automatically, thereby preventing creation of a list of one or more items that require attention to meet compliance reporting requirements; preventing the generation of an alert of the one or more items that require attention; and preventing a quality analysis of the alert of the one or more items that require attention; and wherein; upon determining that the patient lies within a population for which capture of compliance data is mandated by the patient's group: accessing a set of group-indicated compliance requirements relevant to the patient based on the indicated patient group and the required compliance data; generating a documented care template based on the set of group-indicated compliance requirements; capturing a set of compliance-qualified data based on the set of group-indicated compliance requirements included in the documented care template at the point of care; creating from a set of group-indicated compliance requirements a list of one or more items that require attention to meet compliance reporting requirements; and generating an alert of the one or more items that require attention consisting of one or more of: an indicator, a user-interface element, a flag, a dialog box, and a problem description, from said list.
