Abstract: A system is described. The system includes a visual status indicator including a first light configured to indicate a first status and a second light configured to indicate a first identity. The system includes a control device for controlling the first and second lights, an electronic health record (EHR) controller configured to store data identifying a room occupant, and a central control circuit configured to cause the first light to change the first colored light to identify a second status based on an occurrence order of a plurality of statuses associated with a treatment cycle and one or more of receiving a first signal input by a user, receiving an occupancy detection signal, or receiving information from the EHR controller. The central control circuit is also configured to cause the second light to change the second colored light to identify a second identity selected from a plurality of identities.

Abstract: A patient treatment status notification system in a healthcare facility with multiple examination rooms includes a first electronic visual status indicator and a second electronic visual status indicator to be installed outside a first examination room, an indicator control circuit configured to communicate with and control the first and second electronic visual status indicators of the first examination room, a manual input device for the first examination room configured to receive user input representing change of a treatment status of a patient assigned to the first examination room, a switch multiplexer configured to communicate with and receive the user input from the manual input device for the first examination room, and a central control processor coupled to the indicator control circuit and the switch multiplexer to update the treatment status of the first examination room.
