  • Publication number: 20240145078
    Abstract: Embodiments provided herein facilitate the monitoring and management of regular healthcare tasks for patients in a healthcare system, e.g., “nurse rounding” tasks. These embodiments include providing a button or other activator that is associated with a patient and a timer that is associated with the patient and that represents the time since a rounding task was last performed for the patient. Activation of the activator by a nurse or other healthcare provider causes the patient's timer to reset. The status of the timers for a number of patients can be provided on a display, e.g., at a nurse station, to allow nurses or other healthcare providers to know at a glance which patients are currently, or likely to soon become, in need of another rounding care visit. The activator output can also be automatically registered in order to monitor performance of rounding tasks for the patient over time.
