A system uses a multi-pass authentication method to authenticate the presence of a health care provider co-located with an assigned patient at a specific time and in a specific place that includes a data reader and transmitter with particular capabilities held by the health care provider, a token held by the patient, and a back-end database and internet-based interface. The system includes an object that includes a wirelessly detectable patient identification (ID) and an electronic device. The electronic device includes a provider ID and is configured to receive the patient ID from the object, retrieve, from a database, healthcare intervention data. The electronic device selectively locks and unlocks access to clinical data recording functions of the electronic device based on the healthcare intervention data.
