- the first order database 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, and 38 depicted in FIGJ includes a client management database.
- the client management database contains second order databases that permit client management databases to track supplies, medical procedures and other information related to inventory control and patient billing.
- the second order databases are unique for each client and confidentiality is maintained by additional firewalls.
- the hospital's inventory is adjusted to reflect the materials used and the patient's account is automatically charged for the procedure, supplies and hospital staff including the attending physician. Consequently, errors in billing and inventory control are minimized resulting is significant cost savings for the hospital or healthcare institution.
- One way of ensuring such accuracy is to provide the data to and from the website in a parallel manner and then to compare the data for uniformity before permitting further manipulation or access to the data, for example, for the purpose of device control.
