Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for healthcare action sequencing and record keeping. The method may involve scanning a patient care area for tags for entities present in the area, a given patient being located in the area. The method may involve reading identity data from a tag, in response to detecting the tag for an entity in the area. The method may involve receiving input data regarding the given patient by a healthcare personnel via a user-interface. The method may involve communicating with a management system that includes a first database storing rules for how patients with known sets of conditions are to be cared for, a second database storing rules for how the input data are to be used, and a third database storing rules relating to procedures and restrictions for the healthcare personnel.
