Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a method for managing data associated with la home medical equipment (HME) device provided to a patient. The method comprises receiving an HME device identifier associated with the HME device. The HME device identifier is a unique identifier to distinguish the HME device provided to the patient from other HME devices registered at a computer-based records management system. A processor searches the records management system for a patient record that is associated with the HME device identifier. The search is performed by using a search key based on the HME device identifier. The processor instructs accessing a patient record if the search failing to retrieve a patient record associated with the HME device identifier and the processor stores the HME device identifier into the accessed patient record.
